I started riding BMX when i was about 16 or 17 (1996 or 97, can't quite remember) - just before trails became THE thing in BMX. it totally blew up around the summer of 1997, trails popped up everywhere and our trails became a bit of a hotspot - for Manchester/NW riders at least. But then street became the cool thing to do. I don't have a BMX anymore, largely because i moved to a big city, there weren't any trails, and I wasn't really ever interested in street riding. But if i ever get out of London - or if was able to find a spot to dig my own/help out with someone elses - i'd get back into it for sure
keep the faith, brothers
