41 year old dad here. Still trying to be rad 😂 My wife keeps telling me to be careful as I’m a dad and had 3 bad crashes within a month. It’s definitely taking longer to recover, but I also exercise more than ever to continue to ride my bmx as I’m no longer 20.

Ouch. That’ll happen harder to bounce back from though.
I’m pro metal pedals but I can’t think of a good argument against nylon bar ends (looks like you have nylon). Metal ones look real sharp when you first put them in only to literally become sharp as fuck every subsequent drop
Kudos for going at it again!
Make sure those end caps are on always. I saw a kid get literally impaled by his handlebar at a charity ride once. His intestines started spilling out and he had to get careflighted. (He ended up recovering and being ok). One of the scariest things I’ve ever seen.
Buddy of mine almost died from that. Went home without realizing he was bleeding internally and passed out.
Got real lucky his wife came home in time to take him to the hospital.
Did that to my thigh last month, still a dark purple bruise 😂
This is why I hate seeing people rolling around without bar ends….
