It's not something that I'm in to now but definitely something I want to get into next Summer (hopefully)!

I never thought I'd be back on a bike, but ever so glad I took it up like 2 years ago in the summer. Then just got hooked, plus saving almost £200 a month due to not usind public transport. Used to use the tube or drove, now cycle all year round except in the snow.

Had a nose at that earlier! Used to race downhill, raced for work again last year and came 12th out of 100 bods on my last race of the year, more into my all mountain stuff tbh now! Got an ankle made of titanium now so I'm a bit softer than I used to be lol

On a side note... This thread needs pictures.

Seriously though, I was well into BMX back in the day, built my last one up using a Hoffman frame, liked the heavier feel it had, but sorta grew out of it.

I remember the LeToys! Did they have silly thick tubing and could handle looong travel forks? Back in the days of Marzocchi Super Monster T's lol 300mm of travel... I remember how much I wanted a set of them just so I had the biggest forks!

I used to love it...was on my bike everyday and was fit as a fiddle. Got a car and the belly grew outwards however after seeing this its making me tempted to put the car on hold for a month and buy a downhill bike haha
