Dont know if its been done already, But i havnt ever seen it..

My grandfather taught me how to ride. I was young, most likely arround 8-9 years old. He was about 78 at the time.
It was a huffy, the white heat model i belive. He sat there, and rode it, and said do it just like that.. and followed me, and kept me uprite as i learned to ride. I can still rember it.

So who taught you how to ride?

dad, can't remember the bike tho, but remember the first ride without the training wheels and dad running along beside me holding onto the rear seat

good times

We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.

In addition. When did you really get into it, and on what bike was it.
A buddy (actually a forum member) got hit by a car, and got a new bike. I had pretty decent bike at the time, but never used for anything more than the trail beside the paved trail.. But when he got a new bike, we started to get out into the hills..
I owe it all to my novara, and a buddies GT

Good thread idea, Chris:thepimp:

My mom taught me how to ride, but she forgot to mention how to stop until after I rode into a row of bushes at the lower part of our backyard.

Hmmmm, that may explain why I don't crash into the nettles like most people at SST:???:

my dad taught me how to ride a bike. And I started riding hard after I got my 125 and met Blaine, he taught me a lot.

I troll shitty posters like yourself, because it's amusing to watch you skidmarks get all riled up.

My buddy Wanker taught me trail riding at the Delta Watershed. He went into trials - I went into freeriding

No one. I'd sneak onto someone's bike (brother's, friend's) and try to pedal. Probably was around 5 or 6.

Probably my dad, although I have no recollection of it.

Mr. Bridle Path was the one who introduced me to mountain biking.

It was either the pack of wolves that raised me as their child, or my dad.

I guess it could have been my mom too.

I dunno.

TUFF will be like the time you went to the candy store and everything was on sale, except better.
