I actually used to race BMX competitively for many years. Until I jacked up my shoulder for life(Thoracic outlet syndrome). Which led to wanting to race cars instead. The Last bike I used to race(and still own) was a Freeagent Speedway.


Oh the good ol days..

Damn cool shit, sucks about your shoulder. I crashed 3 times in one year on my bike already. 2 rain related, dislocated my knee cap and last doored, stretched rotator cuff. But love to ride cops don't bother me when i break the speed limit haha

Knee get hot when I ride for long periods of time, and shoulder was like 1.5 months ago still recovering, using light 1-2 pound weights to get stability again and tera bands

Yeah man, I tell people i prefer getting my knee or ankle trashed b4 my shoulder or hands. Cant really work on my car because I'll forget an injured then back to square one. Did a 27 mile round trip bike ride, that was awesome. Just need to be ready for April, 28 mile midnight marathon ride.

Its a great entry lvl bike... I got it for $250 from a doctor who rode it twice and said the frame was to big for him(its a large and he is 5'9") im having to get used to the big ass 29er wheels. Makes the turn radius a lot bigger. Also im seeing a learning curve for clip in shoes. I busted my ass hard on a climb yesterday before I took that picture. Yes the saddle is straight poop... Looking to get a new one and haven't found which one i want.
