Hi from Melbourne.

[Hock]

G'day
In my youth I was pretty obsessed with bikes, bmx, then motocross.
After taking a beating on the motocross track I gave that up.
Dabbled in a bit of mtb in my late 20's then basically gave up any cycling for over 20 years.
Then a mate invited me up to ride Buller, hired a duel suspension bike and rode for 2 days up there.
That weekend really changed my life, 20 years of mountain bike refinement suddenly underfoot, it was amazing. Rediscovering all those fantastic sensations on two wheels, I have accepted my mid life crisis and hope I'm not too old to refine my skills further and keep riding for life!
Hope to be a part of the rotorburn community.
Cheers.

Welcome. What bike? Unless an Orange, you ain't seen the half of it yet.

I've heard the duelling scene in Victoria is taking off? What style are you down with? Sydney recently held the annual St Ives medieval festival and that included the jousting championships. It's good to see these martial impulses returning.

Welcome to the site. Bikes are fun.

Welcome to the best god damned sport, and the best forum, on earth.

There are some absolute pinners in their 50s and 60s, so there are years of two wheeled good times to be had. Welcome.

And if you aren't...there are many substances that will help get you the edge. Not just crack or ice either! You could dabble in a little kick of electricity...

I thought you were going to post the video of Randy Spangler being hit by lightning twice at Rampage.

The human lightening rod! That is a bit of a wow factor. I wonder if his performance was described as electrifying by any cliche spewing commentators?

Edit - found video of him talking about it. He says a bad cliche pun!

Bought an Anthem, quickly realised I needed something more enduro style.
Now have a Knolly Warden, love it, does everything I need.
Always wanted to see ball lightning, pretty rare event though!
