2. Cars

Little Lee has never quit BMX. But here’s an edit with MY old Corsa..

Dave still riding? Nah he’s into cars now…

How many times have you heard this gem? You set about having driving lessons because you want to travel to more places to ride. Then before you know it Dave is driving a late nineties, high mileage Corsa painted matte black by hand with orange wheel trims. Then the ender comes as this hits your Instagram feed “BMX for sale, £600. Need cash ASAP as head gasket blown on Corsa”. Final nail in the coffin. Your unsuspecting BMXer has now got a bunch of Ginster munching ‘car mates’. Who choose to handbrake turn vehicles with a retail value of around £800 in Home Base car parks instead of riding.

Advice – Don’t buy a Corsa. And don’t forget why you wanted to get a car in the first place, so you could put your bike in the back and ride new spots. Being into cars is fine, look at the Boqer crew, all drive decent motors while still finding time to ride BMX. Balance point, hit it.
