Some pics of me arsing around at the local skatepark and yes i know the bike is too small for me, and i know im too old to be doing it Edited by: stoney
The first picture looks great till you scroll down and realise you are actually standing on something.
oh and i have dislocated my shoulders about 12 times BMXing, so i had to stop for two years as i have stretched all my ligaments in my shoulders , so i dont really have full movement in them which kinda limits what i can do now [:^(]
but its a fastplant, thats what its supposed to look like!! just cant please anyone!! if it helps this is part of the sequence, i do go in the air a bit!
cool mate never thought about doing dh ? thats my thing and it kicks ! just had my intense fully serviced and re-sprayed . looks sweet too nice to use . i will take some piccis and fire them up
i do have a saracen dual slalom x-cell frame, built up with custom bits, that i take for a burn every now and then, but im a bit too fragile with my shoulders now to go anywhere near dh!!
i wouldnt mind the disclocations, they arent actually too painfull, just a bit of maniulation and pop em back in prob is i have hypermobile ligaments (genetic thing???) so i have double jointed shoulders like poeple have double jointed fingers, and each time i do it they stretch and get worse. I never broke any bones bcos my ligaments go instead,!! Big air and hair!!
i broke both ankles on my dirtbike...an dislocated my shouler all at the same time. i fell from 30 feet tho dislocations take ages to heal...i have constant problems in day to day life.....i done both shoulders.....i would never let it stop me riding tho.
i hate it that it limits me but the thing is because of my dodgy ligaments, my shoulders dont get torn or damaged from the dicloactions,just strethed. a couple of times i put it back in and carried on. mine only stopped me(for two years, back on me bike now) the last time i rode, it was out for an hour and a half, and stretched the ligaments so bad that my shoulder would start to come out if i picked up anything heavier than a can of beans, used to come out in my sleep etc etc. I couldnt physically ride a bike, or do anything strenuous for a good few months, i know what you mean about it limiting you in everyday life its poo even when your body is good, harder when your a double jointed freak!!!
lol it was so bad at one point people at work were starting to ask questions. i felt like an old man! limping around all the time. i slowed up a bit now tho....got responsibilities (sp?) thats how i got into cars.
