How do some of you play sports and still ride? I have baseball practice 3:30-5:30 and I have homework after Monday through Saturday so it's gonna be rough this season now that I'm into Bmx and have been riding everyday the past 3-4 months

Its hard for sure i played football all through highschool so i had practice from 3:30 to about 7 and then homework after, luckily i never did my homework haha and i rode my bike to school so thats when i would ride alittle. The sports do take up alot of time you kind of just have to work in a small session when you can or on weekends

I wasn't doing homework either but then my mom told me if I didn't get a's and b's I can't ride so I'm kind of stuck haha. But I guess I'll just squeeze it in when I can

I just rode in highschool. In college I balanced school, working two jobs, a girlfriend and riding. It was a slower time but I made it work.

make time.
Write up how you spend your time during a typical week, then look at where you might be wasting any time or ways you could spend your time differently, just be realistic, and prioritise the things that mean the most to you.
Also little and often is better for your progression than one bigger session once a week.
Like a hour a day would be better than one 7hr session once a week, also set some realistic riding goals so you can make the most of whatever time you get to ride.
Freestyle is the answer to everything --
a fresh way to approach a dull or a
dangerous thing.
to do a dull thing with style
is preferable to doing a dangerous thing
without it.

I used to play football, got out of it for a bit, planned to get back around 8th grade or highschool. Ended up getting into bmx and practice it every minute that the weather/girlfriend will let me. I dont have time for football because of BMX, not the other way around.
BMX is my sport.

Do your homework at school, during lunch, during breaks, in between periods, before school, after school before practice, in the car, and when you get home, if you still have any left. That's how I manage it at least.

I played football until this year. I would only ride on the weekends. I quit football though because jocks are assholes.

What I did was ride my bike to and from practice, but in the process, I would elongated the process by going from spots to spots with 5 minute sessions here and there. Also, during downtime, I would practice flat ground tricks and stuff like that. Also, if your school has spots, you can ride those ALOT

douchebags that think they are better than everyone because they play sports. Walk around like they own the fucking place, ussually because they have tiny dicks.
