Mark W Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 My brother's 22, finished his degree, got a job as an analytical chemist in Langley, and he goes out riding every Tuesday (BMX night at the-skatepark-formerly-known-as-Playstation), and Thursdays, and does rock climbing on Wednesday, and goes out with his friends to the pub on Friday nights, with more riding on weekends. Doesn't have to be the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Bleech Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Just thinking soon I wont have time to ride trials Im gonna have to grow up, something thats very hard. ← what are you talking about? I am 24 and so is kev that I ride with and Tim is 21 and Kenny thats just moved here is 23!! We all have proper jobs (except Tim the loser hahaha halfords boy) trust me once you get a proper job (or even just temping 9-5) you will still wanna ride your bike! We get out (depending on weather) at least twice a week in evenings and on a sunday! but i am riding tonight, tomorrow and sunday which is the third weekend in a row of just riding! Kev and I are enjoying it more than ever and progressing faster than we ever have!! we have are also building up dirt bikes for the those summer days where its just to hot to ride trials.

endofreak Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 You are never too old to find time to ride trials! The guys I ride with range from 17 to 30. I have a full time job, long term girlfriend, a house, car etc and I still mange to get out a atleast twice a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomturd Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Iam 17 i have no job at the mo i ride everyday with out fail (Y) ← 'I' and 'am' are 2 seperate words. If you want to shorten it use I'm. The apostrophe replaces the 'a' of 'am'. Right, now thats sorted... When I get home from work I dont want to do anything, I wake up at 6.55, get into work at 8 and leave at 4 to get home for 4.30/4.45. Gotta watch neighbours until 6, and have a nap til 7. Then I gotta cook, do washing etc before I go to bed around 11. Throughout the week im pretty much always tired. My motivation to do anything at all, eg washing up, washing clothes (my clothes have been in the washing machine, wet, for 2 days now :-), cooking, holding a girlfriend down, ANYTHING apart from TV/relaxing or going out I cant be arsed to do after a day of work. Saying that, I finally undished my wheel and sorted out my b*****d of a magura last night and had a quick spin in the rain - realised how unfit I am :- All is not lost though, I still have weekends which are mainly spent recovering from hangovers, and I only have another 4 months of work before im free for summer when much partying and hopefully riding shall occur (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 What do you mean "grow up"? It's not immature to ride a bike mate, Ashton ain't exactly young is he? Don't stop riding because you feel too old to ride... I'm 20 and can't see me stopping for ages! I work 8-5 Mon-Fri but still riding...

trials_pimp Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 I dont see what you are soo upset about. I was 21 in december, and Ive been in full time employment for 3 years. Get over it. At least you had the oportunity to go to univercity, If I could go back, I would study something else, and spend longer at college and go to uni.

Jimbo Limbo (Trials Chimp) Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 I'm 21 and have had a full time job for a couple of years, hasn't stopped me riding, if anything its been better (now got money for travelling and bike repairs). I dont plan to stop riding for a while yet, although I do lack motivation a bit riding is still fun and the only reason I'm not a fat TV/internet addicted lazy b*****d.
