Will you still be riding when you're......

Will you still be riding when you're......
At 38 I got back into unicycling and started muni, then trials, then street over the last 12 months. For my 40th I asked my wife for a pair of five ten impact 2 high boots, a roll of griptape and a Creepy Crawler. I know she's worried, but I'm not sure why -- drumstuck ------------------------------------------------------------------------ drumstuck's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16638 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75424 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I wonder if any 20 year olds have any clue what it's like to be 40. Its great to see riders in their 40s and 50s tearing it up like some of the hardcore dudes we get to see at CMW and Moab. I'm very hopeful that my body is in the right shape, and my life is in the right order to continue such activity, but if life has taught me anything, it's that I'll never know what's going to happen tomorrow. -- maestro8 Those are my principles.

As for me, I'm going to ride until I can't any more. I think the "bug" (the fun) is from trying stuff that seems impossible and then getting it. If I get to a point where I don't get that reward any more, cause I can't make any more progress, then I'd probably lose the bug. So far there doesn't appear to be any end in sight. Every new trick or skill takes me a while, but I eventually get it. -- tmoyer ')--360unispin08--O' (http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=HPwf_TA17xo) ')--75cmHighJump*' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZywfKhbBFkY) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tmoyer's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16057 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75424 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I know I'll keep at this awhile! I could ride my mountain bike today. OMG, it was like being 8 again. I love it! But I kinda wanted to bounce up and down on it. I guess what I'm saying is I know the uni will be 10 times more fun. If all I could do was bounce on it, that would be pretty cool still. I just dont want to ever grow up in this sense. -- cbs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cbs's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/18611 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75424 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I'm going to be riding until I'm to old to do so or until I get tired of it. -- Michaelgoround ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michaelgoround's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17218 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75424 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I didn't learn to ride until I was 31 in college and now I teach unis in PE. And since I am on the teach-til-you-die program, I will probably ride until they bury me in my worn out shorts. -- georgegoss All work and no play makes George a dull boy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ georgegoss's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15953 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75424 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I see lots of avid mtbers well into their 60's and even 70's on the trails quite often. They aren't necessarily doing big drops but they are riding fairly technical terrain, and going the distance with their younger counterparts. Yes, doing the same thing on just one wheel would be much more of a challenge at that age, but I can still see myself still riding close to my current level for at least another 20 years! ( Probably won't be doing stuff like in my avatar at 70 though, lol!) -- MuniAddict '*Busted by \\\"Unicycle cop\\\"!*' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RjMk4IvWew&fmt=22) ::'-Speedpass- in HD' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW7dM-v3dOs&fmt=22) 'UniGeezer.com ' (http://unigeezer.com) :: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MuniAddict's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12920 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75424 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
