💯agree. I’m 51 and 5’5 and still ride 20’s, but since getting the same 24 monza that Bernie is riding, I’m kinda hooked on 24’s. The only downside of being a “grown up” with money, it’s hard to stop at just a bike or two. I’m on my 9 or 10th (lost count) bike now since I started during the pandemic. Also, one important reason I got back into BMX is that it kept me mentally young especially during isolation. I was researching on how to fix and upgrade bikes…thats how I found😊 you guys. As always Mahalo Kev and Bernie for doing what you do. 🤙🏄🤙🏄‍♀️

@cruisinginthe808 5 месяцев назад

100% agree! Yeah, with adult money, it gets hard to stop sometimes! I just got my two GTs that I picked up from their mega sale and my wife just rolled her eyes and was like, "How many bikes do you need?" Haha! Really appreciate you taking the time to share that comment and for watching our vids each week! Appreciate you brother! 🤙🏻

@brian4828 3 месяца назад

What a motivating video! I'm 54 and am 5'5" too and wanted to get back into BMX riding. I have been second guessing whether to get a 20" or 24". I started mountain biking maybe 15 yrs ago and just never really loved it as much as I did riding '81 GT Pro as a kid. Time to start getting my BMX wish list together.

@OU812NVME 4 месяца назад

53 years old been riding all my life the only difference now is when I ride by all my old friends homes I don't see the BMX bikes laying on the front yard that used to let us know where everyone was at enjoy our time here it is so short

@cruisinginthe808 4 месяца назад

That is so true! You could tell who was over based on what bikes were out in the yard! Thanks for bringing me back down memory lane! Totally agree that life is way too short, especially for us older guys. We have less years in front of us than we do in back of us and we really need to make it count! Thanks for sharing that and for watching! 🤙🏻

I'm 53, I have 2 (20 inch) 1984 Schwinn Predator bikes ( A "Team Alloy", and a "P2200 that I need to restore), and a 1999 Schwinn "Pro-Stock 3" 24 inch cruiser. I ride them whenever I can, and I get a lot of "aren't you too old?" or "too big for that bike?" comments from people, and I always reply NO, you're never "too old". I raced BMX when I was a teenager, and tried once again in my mid 30's. I can't ride the way I use to, I mainly just cruise around town, and camp sites, but I still enjoy riding BMX bikes. Great video. Stay safe, and have a great week.

Good for you man! Keep riding whatever feels good to you! And yeah, I feel you bro. The mind thinks we can still do those things we had no problem doing, but the body just canʻt do it anymore. But we can still ride our BMX bikes! Keep it going and thanks for sharing that and for watching!🤙🏻

I am 50 and I had recently pulled out my first BMX/ freestyle bike. 1988 Predator Freeform pro YO 20”. I have done a lot of work on it to bring it back to life. Since then I purchased 4 more BMX bikes . I will keep 3 in the box and build one of the big wheel bikes. I can’t wait to feel the freedom of two wheels again. I thank you both for sharing your experience and stories with all of us. 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

Turned 50 in April. Was a freestyler from the 80s. Road Dyno and GT. All my friends had the same bikes just different colors. We were quite the crew. Just bought a Gravity dead eye. Already mixed in GT goose neck and bars. Should have just bought a pro performer or Dyno pro comp 29. Thanks bros for the videos ! God bless!

Not quite 50 yet (49 next month), but my brother and I had a similar situation. I bought a bike 22” wheel bmx, Fit series 22 during the Covid lockdowns. Rode every day with my son. Built a full custom 22”. Gave the complete to my brother. He’s now built a grip of full customs and we have joy back in our reality for the first time in decades.

@cruisinginthe808 Месяц назад

That is awesome!! It’s amazing how getting back on a bike just does wonders for the soul. All of these wonderful memories came back and it’s been fun talking and riding as we both end up bringing up something that the other forgot or remembered vividly. Those old school BMX days were the best and it’s been a lot of fun getting back on a bike as an adult. Welcome back and hope you stick around!! Thanks for sharing that comment and for watching! 🤙🏼

As far as BMX goes, I have a Crew Defender, and a recently acquired Haro Hoover. The Defender has all chromoly frame forks, cranks, and now chromoly SE cruiser bars! I have the Defender as a fgfs bike. The Defender has doubled wall rims with 700x32 tires. The Hoover is a 20 inch with 2.4 inch tires. I have been riding my Hoover a lot lately! I want to fully get used to my Hoover, so I can go back to doing some jumps and other tricks in the air. I am 50 right now, but I'm not letting that stop me!

Cheap, I went through a few spokes and a seat but been on it a minimum 10 miles a day lost 110 pounds and kept it off, 175, my weight in High School.

For me it's not about the old names it's about who is making them SE from what I understand is made in china Bak in the day I had a Black redline series 3 102b, followed that with a redline 700 sl, and that was parted out for an early mid school PK ripper. Now I'm too big for a 20-inch bike they don't have enough rider space for me, so I want a cruiser or perhaps something on the level of the 26" OM Flyer. but IM unsure what's out there since things have changed so much since i last rode pre-2000.

I’ve never heard of Monza , I’m curious where are they based out of ( Hawaii ) ? I like them ….hey I’m in my 50’s and like you guys said I have grown up money and as a kid I was always enamored with Bullseye but we were poor well now , I’m almost embarrassed to say how much I have into my GT ……lovin’ it

@cruisinginthe808 5 месяцев назад

The guys who created Monza are from Sweden but the bikes are sold from the US. We have just been very fortunate to have their support. I hear ya man, I was the same way too! Had no money back then to get my dream bike although I did save my money to buy my Diamond Back and Kuwahara. But yeah, with adult money I am also embarrassed a little with how much Iʻve put into my bikes too. And Iʻm worse I think because itʻs more than one bike! But like you I am absolutely loving it. Thanks for the comments and for watching another one! 🤙🏻

I'm 50 now. But I've been collecting bikes since I was 19. I still ride almost daily I the summer time. Here in Northern Indiana we have some brutal winter's. So from late November till about late March its hard to ride! So watching the videos of the guys riding that live in beautiful states is so cool and helps with my winter depression lol. But. My bikes are in my house and I can be with my collection everyday if I choose! BMX 4 LIFE KEEP RIDING GUYS.

@cruisinginthe808 4 месяца назад

Bro, that is awesome! I’m stoked that our winter time videos can help! I would not enjoy being stuck indoors for those months after being used to riding whenever I want for my entire life. But you make do with what you got right? Send us some pics of your collection! Would love to see some cool bikes! If you ever make it out here hit us up for a ride! We got bikes you can use! Happy Holidays from one old guy to another! 🤙🏼

I was a bmx rider growing up but never owned mountain bikes I’m torn Wich to choose from

@cruisinginthe808 4 дня назад

Best advice I can give you is to see if you can get to a local bike shop to check them out in person and to ride them. The sizes do make a difference and you want to get a bike that you feel comfortable with. Hope you have a local bike shop around you! Keep us posted on your progress on finding one and thanks for the comment and for watching! 🤙🏻

If you want to look like a drug dealer, ride a BMX bike as a grown adult, but don't do any tricks. A man rides a road bike

@cruisinginthe808 5 месяцев назад

Drug dealers? Really? I'm not sure if this is a joke or not. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt here and assume it is.

I still ride 20" but I do have my 26ers & 29ers.

@cruisinginthe808 4 месяца назад

Thatʻs awesome that you can still ride a 20! Those are a little uncomfortable for me. I think I like the 26 the most. Thanks for sharing that and for watching! 🤙🏻
