I learned to ride a bike when I was 4 years old, and I've never been without one since. I rode "back in the day" of the original BMX Freestyle explosion in the early 80s. My weapon of choice back then was a Hutch Trickstar in metallic Blue with white Skyway mags. I switched to Mountainbikes after I left home in 1990 because it was cheaper to maintain: No broken cranks every couple weeks, no bent forks, etc. Then, a couple years ago, I decided to get back into BMX. Today, I enjoy flatland and street. I ride much more street than flat, but I think I'll be spending a little more time on flat from now on. I've made a lot of friends riding, even though I'm usually a lot older than the other guys. I enjoy hanging out with people who are down to earth and honest. I don't enjoy troublemakers, and I'll be the first one to let you know if you're being a dick. That's about it for now. L8R!
