I think 29 might be too old to start riding a dirt bike ...

[Dogmeat]

So I've been riding this Honda for about two weeks now ...

Coming from a YFZ450 sport quad ...

Dirt bikes >>>>>>>> quads, but the learning curve is a lot steeper.

Never the less .... I think 29 might be too old to learn how to climb hills and jump on a dirt bike.

I like the idea of having 3' of pow to land in if I **** up .... hahahaha

Sledding still rules all

aww hell pull up your skirt and get to roosting!!!!

I know guys who flat out rip on bikes and they collect retirement and SS.

never to old to get into dirtbiking, just do it, have fun, enjoy life

you got too much bike, your pride kick'n in

I'd do the same thing, sold my 00 KTM 380 MXC when I was 35..wouldn't buy one now

auctually I think the 530 enduro would suit me well

never to old to start riding, you only get old if you stop riding

I'm 26, I started riding 13 years ago and I plan on learning how to backflip the old hurt bike before next year, the sled is next!

You will seriously be amazed at the difference between 26 and 29

I do not doubt it, 23 to 26 has been hard on a lot of things due to large numbers of broken bones

You are never to old to start riding bikes! Heck my uncle is 55 yrs old and still races competitively around the north west. Heck he busted his balls so bad last year he couldn't walk for like 3 months after his surgery to reattach his nerves and other things. but he is back on the bike agian racing. Crazy old feller, but he loves to ride.

29 too old?

I would say that at 29 you should be ready to get rid of the training wheels.
you are only as old as you feel,some days after a ride I feel 60.but while I am riding I am a kid again.

 

[Ex-Member]

Just need to get out and ride more often.

 

[sledchick]

only as old as ya feel!! My ol man still rips and is in his 50s, and has had 2 heartattacks. Might be a lil more sore the next day, but at least you are enjoying life!

Quit riding dirtbikes when I left home at 18. Now that my boy has been racing mx for the past few years and got off the mini's and into big bikes I raced my first mx race ever last year at age 47! No, I dont heal like I used to and the snow is certianly more forgiving than the dirt. But it sure is fun! I hate monday mornings though

 

[montanasledder]
