Will you still be riding when you're......

This thread is primarily geared to riders 20 years old and under, and
for those who have already achieved a fairly high level of riding. This
can include MUni, Trials, Street and/or flat.

*Question:* Do you think you will still be riding at your current
level, below or above, into your 30's, 40's, 50's or beyond? Do you
think you might simply "burn yourself out" after a certain amount of
years doing extreme riding? And at what about what age do you think you
might start "slowing down", and your skills, stamina and drive either
start diminishing, or you might make the decision to take things a bit
more easy.

Ok Let's hear from you!

I'll never quit. I'm not sure how long I'll last doing Flat and
Street(probably until I'm like 20-25), but I'll be doing muni as long as
I can.

I wouldn't consider my riding to be at a high level but I believe I will
still be doing distance rides and MUni for many years to come.

I might slow down physically a bit but I think that technique gained
with experience will more than make up for it.

I don't really know. I kinda agree with Eric though.
But I'm probably going to quit riding, or at least doing extreme stuff,
after I get married and start teaching and doing more shows and
everything.
So it dosn't really matter to me. XD

I wonder if any 20 year olds have ever made a plan that carried into
their 40s, or even 30s... other than choosing a college or maybe buying
a car. I wonder if any 20 year olds have any clue what it's like to be
40.

Its great to see riders in their 40s and 50s tearing it up like some of
the hardcore dudes we get to see at CMW and Moab. I'm very hopeful that
my body is in the right shape, and my life is in the right order to
continue such activity, but if life has taught me anything, it's that
I'll never know what's going to happen tomorrow.

Sure - but it's still fun to hear what they think.

As for me, I'm going to ride until I can't any more.

I think the "bug" (the fun) is from trying stuff that seems impossible
and then getting it. If I get to a point where I don't get that reward
any more, cause I can't make any more progress, then I'd probably lose
the bug.

So far there doesn't appear to be any end in sight. Every new trick or
skill takes me a while, but I eventually get it.

I know I'll keep at this awhile! I could ride my mountain bike today.
OMG, it was like being 8 again. I love it! But I kinda wanted to
bounce up and down on it. I guess what I'm saying is I know the uni
will be 10 times more fun. If all I could do was bounce on it, that
would be pretty cool still. I just dont want to ever grow up in
this sense.

I'm going to be riding until I'm to old to do so or until I get tired of
it.
