    At 52 years of age, i know how you feel... my favorite is the reaction I get from police when they pull up to kick me off of something and realize I'm older tham them and my taxes pays their wage, they are very polite and ask me to go somewhere else... BMX keeps a person young at heart and thats all that matters. You have a creative style, and some good moves brother!

    I was just informed that the same people who told me to "pick a real sport" in the 80's, are now telling me if "I think I'm a little too old to be riding a kid's bike." I feel sorry for them, really. Imagine living a life devoted to telling others what they can and cannot do. Sounds like hell on earth to me. Never stop riding.

    Hey man im only 20 and i struggle with this too(i live in a small town with only 5k ppl and its predominantly senior citizens an farmers) so theyre totally unaware of bmx even being a thing. They think im a crackhead on a kids bike. I wish i had some advice to help with it but instead i just wanna say never let it discourage you. Youre not the only one. It doesn't mean you're old just look at me being 20 and dealing with the same thing. Who cares what people think cuz they're always going to have something negative to say. Plus most people nowadays are pretty ignorant so why be worried what an ignorant person is thinking! Yk. Much love from Arkansas stay rad bro

    2:36 that was dope af. I'm not a BMX guy, I was always more into skateboarding but my favorite tricks were always the really technical, borderline oldschool stuff, things like Rodney Mullen's flatland creativity. That thing you did, spinning the frame around the handlebar/forks assembly while doing a stall is just the kind of trick I think is so cool. Technical and kind of oldschool with a unique vibe.

    Amen brother, enjoy what you do. I'm in my late 30s and I love riding my bike 🚲🚲. It makes me feel young all over again. I think that is the reason I love riding. It becomes part of you, give a person passion and inspiration to others out there. It doesn't matter how old you are people. Enjoy the outdoors with your bmx, mountain bikes. Keep it real brother man, God bless 🙏🙏🙏💪.

    I'm happy for you Frank Larson. You understand that with the bullshit in the World, people don't like to see others happy. It gave me great happiness to see you rippin it up. I do similar sessions but without the 180-360. I love street riding cause you find bumps in the sidewalk that you can get lift or other obstacles like little fences or rails to mash on. Love it dude, keep being awesome you. Peace man, from a fellow senior BMXer. I suggest to buy 2-3 used frames and build them so that your never bored and some spray paint.
