A quick little vid I threw together of me and a few buddies riding trails. I'm the first goon in the red shirt. Filmed and edited via iPhone 5s with olloclip lens and iMovie

Nice - love it! Keep doing it! I used to ride vert on my 20" back in the day. Went to Woodward many years in a row and loved it. Now, I mainly ride a 26 and 29er on the trails. A quick vid of my buddy and me doing the trails in White Clay (DE). It gets fun around 4:30.

Ya I used to race bmx pretty competitively back in the day. Now I hit the track and trails just for fun. Although now I am laid up on the couch with intense muscular swelling in my calf from a wreck earlier that day, I don't bounce back like I used to

I have been thinking of getting a bike to ride around park trails, more for health reason and to help lose some weight. not to go do carzy jumps, im to old and the first fall and im staying there,lol.

I'd suggest a nice hard tail 29 inch wheeled bike, their are plenty of options out there that won't break the bank too bad and the larger diameter wheels make them a joy to cruise around on

I keep saying Im going to get back into dirt jumping, yet never do lol. Raced BMX for a long time, and got out of it shortly after being able to drive. How is it jumping the bigger bikes compared to a 20''??

It's a different animal that's for sure but it's a nice change, the bike is just overall more user friendly. Less twitchy and more stable, I really enjoy it

I used to ride bmx as well for years, went to woodward once, rode tons of street, trails, anything really. I stopped around when I was 19 or so and im 30 now. I've been looking at it again lately though I wanna get back into it, little cheaper of a hobby then buying car parts and its fun. I might order a bike pretty soon, im gonna get a 21in bmx though.

I noticed that the bigger bikes always looked alot more stable in alot of videos. Been out of the game so long now, can you jump a 29'er hardtail?

Looks like a good way to break your neck! :dw:

I mean you could hit some mellow jumps on them I'm sure, but it would probly get pretty sketchy off of anything with an aggressive lip. You are just limited on ear triangle lent and stand over height with the larger wheels

Been wanting to get another bike here lately just to cruise the neighborhood on. Haven't owned or ridden one since I was 16 (I'm 35 now). I'm either going to try to find a 20" GT from the mid/late 90s (aka midschool) or I'm going to buy and build a new 24". I have considered building a new 20" though as I've never ridden a 24" and I don't want it to feel too big.

I found this site last year and it got me hooked all over again on wanting a bike: http://bmxmuseum.com/
