More proof that you don’t quit when you get old, you get old when you quit! It is so amazing to see so many older riders still absolutely shredding on their bikes. The over 50’s group of the Ride On BMX Video Comp proves that you never have to stop riding your bike and it’s amazing!

So in last week’s BMX react video I took a look at the over 40s results of the ride on BMX video comp and my mind was legitimately blown you can watch it happen in real time if you watch the video from last week where the riding in this video contest was just
Incredible I did not expect I didn’t have any expectations and then I went into it and I Saw 10th place and I was like this is 10th Place what is first place going to be like and then first place blew my mind completely there was
A 900 nose pick on a quarter which is something that I had wanted to see for literally years and in that it got me super stoked to take a look at the over 50s results which actually dropped today being Friday I’m recording this for Sunday so I said in that previous one
That I was going to react to the over 50s and over 30s so here we are to take a look at the over 50s results of the 2023 rideon BMX video comp but before we get into playing the video I also just wanted to to give anyone who might not
Know what Ryon BMX is a little bit of backstory here so Ryon BMX is primarily a Facebook group where it’s the home of the older Rider and I’ll read a little bit of the description on this Facebook group just so you can get an idea of
What it is and what it’s meant to be so ride on BMX is basically a group of older Riders of BMX or group for the older Riders of BMX it’s about people in the middle of their life late 30s 40s and so on who ride simple as that it’s
Basically just meant to be a community to bring people together and that is exactly what it is they do ride days over in the UK at some of their skate parks and then people just go in this group and post riding and react to it on
Facebook and just kind of talk back and forth as a community of older Riders and it is amazing I’m sure you’ve already heard of it though so I don’t need to go any further there just go on Facebook search ride on BMX and you see a group
Group with 7.9k members maybe 8K by the time this goes up and you join that group and get in on the community so with that being said I’m pumped to take a look at the over 50s results so let’s get right on into it if you think BMX freestyle in your
50s is all about doing Miami hoppers on your patio then think again this is the 2023 ride on video comp over 50s results so got some right here oh that was cool big manual I couldn’t even come close to doing that manual back flip up a step up
Big table alleyoop table down whip big Trails Allan sibl five tap to decade Jesus I missed what he said this group is our Premier League the edits sent into the over 50s group absolutely nail the spirit of just what Ron is about Rob rdge loads of riders from all over the
World all over the age of 50 absolutely killing it Dustin Reese I know this is going to stoke you as much as it stoked us I have chills I can tell you from personal experience routing into your 50s isn’t easy the old joints start to hurt a bit you’re always short on time
To ride we got the most utmost respect and admiration for every single Rider who’s entered this group before we push on I want to thanks Ian Morris who supported Ryon and this comp from sponsorship from etes sponsorship from etes and SNM when you do spend your cash remember the brands that support our
Scene here’s the top 10 oh my goodness my brain is already first 10th to sixth 10 spot Mel GES that was a lot of our spins nose pick whip on a Ledge that was cool disaster revert the other way fast plant number nine Grant Smith Smith really good looking edit well put
Together and produced jump in the spine one-footed manual some cool riding and some awful music I’m Ken de graph killing it here jumping that spine little bit of flatland bull riding with the table five tap nice seventh Steph Bowens big disaster that was a big quarter five tap fof ice

Bru nice fakey cabin over the curb back into it some flat land oo lots of spinning not going to pretend like I’m an expert on flat land but I can appreciate it some trails in there nice wall ride feebs man flat land blows my mind I have no idea what any of this
Is oh that’s cool Street Channel Gap 270 a hip I like it table of the hip I think that’s a hitchhiker I think IND God knows what carving the bowl nice little table hip there good song to go with it too Smith on the quarter I like it riding some
Street wall ride down the stairs straight into more flat land that’s it’s a good one it’s pretty good fifth place pretty good I like it next up I could like a fine wine getting better with age taking the number four spot is none other than Jay Boyd this edit is
Jam-packed with locations the judges absolutely love the fact that every clip was from a different spot almost every clip loads in here flows along nicely and it’s awesome to see Jay ripping this year because I know he struggled with some injuries check this out here we
Go oh that’s cool j Boyd 55 years old nice wall ride nose pick on the quarter ride up the ledge oh that was cool little hand grab thingy maber there almost almost having a terrible situation with that kid hip tabe I like it fly out three there nose pick over
The spine riding a pump track doing the double those doubles are scary at pump tracks maybe that’s just me but they freak me out the manual from the beginning nice grind oh that’s cool tap one hander one footer like a kick turn five tap without taking the back tire up at all that
Abubo is sick cabin the pyramid hip abbaka and then a mini air in the quarter X up nice nice uh Canadian there that was good that was real good and I want to just check one thing real quick bear with with me what frame is he riding I can’t
Tell okay anyways keep her going here next up okay so top three time top three really really tight judging came down to some real fine margins but taking the third place is the tech monster himself self this guy is in class of one when it comes to front wheeel tricks it’s Rob
Bridge for sure I didn’t even need to hear him say it Rob rdge 52 years old cab to Tire tap Barb bar over Jesus flatland around the world is what I would call that then a boomerang my goodness I love Rob Brides riding nice GT turn stalling it out to a peg Bonk
Another angle on it nope to no footer this time jeez another G turn here to a pinky squeak back into the nose no hops notice that down whip Peg down Peg whip to grab the seat bring it back around like what do you even call that there’s the same
Trick a it’s a cool photo that was cool the nose pick no hander double footed something or another like you can’t even how do you describe ra Bridges riding Neil is right when he says he’s in a class of one because nobody else can do Rob rd’s
Tricks I just have to sit here and appreciate it oh my God he just died oh that was rough I hope that didn’t hurt too bad so taking second place in the 2023 over 50s group is Ry on favorite this guy’s always going big always got rad tricks he’s currently out
There on his full-time BMX project if you get a chance to check out some of his other videos do so check it out it’s Stefan manow I met this guy he had heard himself trying to do a nose pick drop in on the 20 the mini Mega quarter I think
At Woodward East this guy’s a beast nice little curve wall ride there foof is that Oppo oh that was cool Superman C grab I like the song honestly nice whip in there riding Street in the dates back flipping that was the flip bar up nice to drop into that
Nice that was cool abubaca to nose pick on that setup there’s that fakey to decade riding some vert no footer on the vert big tabe 510 tap nice and Woodward West mini ni little Whiplash riding the full pipe carving big no foot can on a dirt jump right in a pool hell yeah
Ninja drop that’s a big quarter that was really good hell yeah who’s got first who’s on first so taking first place in the 2023 over 50s group this edit is jam-packed with stuff you won’t see every day from someone who really understands what BMX is all about is it
Owen c as soon as the first trick hits you know you’re in for a good time feels like proper BMX it’s oh James White oh James White flatland James White no different guy James McGraw is flatland guy James White he’s doing flatland though yo that was cool dude the creativity I missed his
Age we’re watching this again 52 nice Whiplash putting both fo on the pegs and then the kicking it around on the shopping cart that whoa that was cool it’s just creative I love it nice the foot plant revert thing Boomerang foot plant revert shopping cart just freestyle this is sick hell yes nice
Fast plan over that slider into and out of the fakey what even was that that was cool though some more flat land here just tossing the bike around in ways that I can’t even begin to understand he just like kicked the bike around and made it
Going out into a caveman into the I think hitchhiker and then the guy in the background what the f that was rad James White look creative that was awesome so that wraps up the 2323 right on video comp thank you to Matt Brett Mike and Chris on the judging panel massive thank
You to every single member who shared commented on and liked the post in the videos that that we posted on this comp I know it means a lot to the Riders to enter who see the comments so thanks very much the comp has grown every year thanks to you guys getting involved and
Getting in on board sending in edits keep it coming and we’re going to come back strong in 2024 we hope you’ve enjoyed these results so shows that we’ve done to showcase the top 10 and if you got any ideas for how the comp can be better next year drop him a line
That’s it for 2023 until next time ride on that was awesome it just goes to show that even over the age of 50 you can still kill it and there’s a lot of people over the age of 50 who entered this and we out of the top 10 also who
Just may not have entered in this that absolutely kill it I love to see this group growing and all of the people coming together in a way that I feel all of the rest of mainstream BMX could definitely take something from and see everybody come together and and you know
Neil’s out here putting together this contest with three different Decades of age groups there’s no reason why somebody else could put together a video contest and bring together community and get together something for everybody under the age of 30 so with that being said let me know what you guys thought
Of all of these which one was your favorite and I hope you enjoyed this week’s BMX react stay tuned for next week when we’re going to react to the over 30s winners from this same video contest which has already been released but I have not watched yet thanks for

As a older guy (53) I thank you. Many of us had our best years with around 30 pounds of metal between your legs.
James is my fave and well deserved, so unique, Rob Ridge on the lip tricks and all the others are ripping it. There now could be an over 60's as legends like Matin Aparijio hit 60 this year and rips flatland still. As a 55 year old occasional Irish based rider myself this gives me further inspiration to keep going. Thanks for sharing Brandt 🙂
Generation x showing you ,extreme sports doesn't discriminate on age..enjoy until u can't no more..
I am 44 and I love riding street!
Off topic … Do 20.5 toptube fits with 5'7?
