Bonus clip of a hawk eating a pigeon by my local at the beginning there lol. I started riding bmx pretty late at the age of 23, I’m now 26! Ruptured my patellar tendon last summer. Ironically I was trying to show my friend my 180s to see what I could do better (had them, then lost them), when everything took a nightmarish turn and my seat lodged into my knee as I fell over the bike. First five minutes of the sesh lmao. Getting back nose pivots as you see in this clip brought me so much joy, it’s my favorite trick that I can do!
I want to get back into riding more but the weather has been atrocious in New York, my knee limits how long I can ride but I’ve gotten most of my tricks back. Not that I have a big roster lmao. I’ve even mustered up the courage to start trying 180s again and I can get full rotation now 🙂 Need to soften the landing before I fakie because every time I land, my knee turns into a GMO potato and I have to stop riding for a few minutes.
