How old is the oldest rider on vital?

I know there's a few guys in their early 40s but not really come ascross anyone much older than that.

Just got me thinking cuz I'm about to turn 32 in a couple of weeks, and started to wonder to myself about how many more years of riding I've got in me, I plan to ride until I'm 40 at least, after that who knows, probably just end up flowing bowls and trails for a few more years after that.

Whatcha reakon guys...How old is too old?

28 in a few weeks.

Ride as long as you can, don't put a schedule in for when you stop.

Dennis McCoy is like 46, Hoffman is up there too.

Look at the level they are on.

Just ride. Worry about your age or when to hang up the bike when you physically cannot do it.

(And then get a mountain bike and or road bike haha)

Not sure what happened to my post, I guess I ADD'd out and forgot to push submit, haha.

I'm 40, 41 in January. I know there are some my age, and a few older, but not all of them actually post in the general area. I won't rat anyone out on age because if they want you to know, it's their choice to post, haha.
I don't go as hard as Id like. I don't have a helmet other than a street bike (motorcycle) helmet big enough to fit my head. I either need a 2x or a 3 x, I can't remember, and haven't found an actual certified helmet on line in my size. I also have no interest in having to have my wife or kids wiping my ass, EVER.

I will ride as hard as my body and brain will allow me to for the rest of my life. It's better than any other hobby I have had, and it's way better to pedal than to sit on your ass and use a bunch of gas. I love riding, even when I'm only pedaling around my neighborhood with my kids, which is about 85% of my riding at the moment.

44 here. I ride both park and flat but not as often as I'd like. The hardest thing to deal with about being older is stamina and slower reflexes, especially if you've been away from it for a while.

my neighbor's like 50+ and has a couple of unicycles the size of that front wheel, he still cruises them up and down a 300ft hill near us. We got em to try a small dirt jump one time a long time ago... he ate it lol. But he got up quick for an old guy. If you never give up then you're not too old for anything.

Hey man, I already admitted I don't go as hard as I want to because I don't want my wife or kids wiping my ass. I didn't call you out, lol, I just wanna see someone tail whip that shit, or maybe the nitro circus hit the mega ramp on one! You know that would be great to watch!

fair enough, let this be the standing call out to any one of yuze 35+ to throw down on HORSE or whatever. I could give a fuck about ego, this is the message to youngsters that BMX doesn't die with age. Dirt jumps, park, street... bring this shit

Freestyle is the answer to everything --
a fresh way to approach a dull or a

Look at the level they are on.

Just ride. Worry about your age or when to hang up the bike when you physically cannot do it.

(And then get a mountain bike and or road bike haha)
