Im 26 and get the urge every couple of months to buy one, usually get talked out of it by the missus cos I wouldnt be safe on one

Last time I went on one, a couple of years back, I sneaked out on my ex's brothers bmx while she was in work. She came back to find me in the kitchen patching myself up after falling doing a wheelie.

Loved my Gary Fisher BMX, used to have khe Lamello tires, 120psi in them badboys, super smooth at rolling along but soaked up 0% of jumps and dropoffs!, (even knocked myself clean out on it before) moved onto my GT moto hardtail bike now, but miss the abuse you can give a bmx
