Good luck to him, if you ever want to bring him up to blackpool gimme a shout and i will happily teach him the basics

The guy in the shop mentioned something about the smaller gearing but to be honest it went totally over my head lol. That's really kind of you to offer to teach him the basics, if we are ever down your way I'll definitely take you up on it thank you

Old Skool is fine for having a mid life crisis and thinking you're Cru Jones.

For actually riding BMX mid/new school is the way forward.

LOL I know a guy whose buying up all these mid 80s Haros and PK's. All mint frames which have never been built up. He's just collecting them. "For future investments" which is slang for "Im still 20 you know, not in my mid 30s"

I was at the RadBMX christmas bash last night.. rubbing shoulders with some serious legends from back in the day....80's and early 90's... and a few current pro's

A guy called Dennis wingham (who must be late 30's) did a front flip 180 over the jump box..... the little kids couldn't match that!!!!

They also had a show and shine for the old skool stuff which was like being a kid again.

BMX rocks

Nice choice claire, that bike should be more than good enough to keep your son entertained until he breaks something, and then you just replace it and off he goes again. More than capable bike.
