Hey there.
I'm Brad from Colchester.
Have barely ridden for about 8 years now. Was out with friends and was only just getting into jumping using my BMX. Unfortunately came off and cut knee open which meant had to stay off for a little while, which was right as started my apprenticeship as a mechanic, and basically never really got back on the bike again.
Still managed to keep both of them though.
Have a Saracen X-ile which had converted to single speed and a Specialized Vegas BMX.
The BMX is still gathering dust but have cracked out the Saracen recently to try and keep in shape.
With it being single speed its not breaking any land speed records, but is actually doing me pretty well as managed a 14.3 mile ride yesterday in 1h20. Although this did highlight that my saddle is not for distance riding
Would love to try some jumping again sometime but for now just some backlanes and trails are doing fine
