At 52 years of age, i know how you feel... my favorite is the reaction I get from police when they pull up to kick me off of something and realize I'm older tham them and my taxes pays their wage, they are very polite and ask me to go somewhere else... BMX keeps a person young at heart and thats all that matters. You have a creative style, and some good moves brother!
@@mikehagen3785 Thank you! Thankfully the police have bigger fish to fry than me grinding the same ledge I’ve been riding since 2000. 37 still gets me dirty looks from the local basic bitches and boomers though.
@@frankthetankct I live in a small town and do most of my riding late at night, especially on the weekends. I've hit the same ledges and gaps since the 80s, longer than most any of the snooty commentary have been alive.. so I say fuck em, hopefully I'll be still at it at 62.
Same thing here...car honks for no reason when riding between towns...bitches talking about their territory at 3 am... as if a bmx is a competition for them......😅@@frankthetankct
@@frankthetankctI hope you bought Spencer foresman stickers to send nudes elsewhere...like a kindergarden.😊 So kids would quiclky learn to stick with nature. And RIDE!

This is what happens over time when people keeps hating you for no reason you give them back what they came for. I agree with that. Because cops physically hurted me for putting dog shit in an amazon box to catch a thief....we do need to share thoses fuck yo#'s
I was just informed that the same people who told me to "pick a real sport" in the 80's, are now telling me if "I think I'm a little too old to be riding a kid's bike." I feel sorry for them, really. Imagine living a life devoted to telling others what they can and cannot do. Sounds like hell on earth to me. Never stop riding.
@@satoril928 I've only got like four negative comments so far on this channel. Most from people who can't even hop a bike. If those comments were the majority I'd still ride.
Most righteous, bro. I used to skateboard when I was young and now I'm almost 36 and just picked it back up again and people are giving me that same shit. You're too old for long hair and skateboarding around... I tells em to piss right off. I'm feeling better than ever
Hey man im only 20 and i struggle with this too(i live in a small town with only 5k ppl and its predominantly senior citizens an farmers) so theyre totally unaware of bmx even being a thing.

46 year old here and I decided to get back on my bike April of last year(2023) after about a 13 year hiatus and it's been the best decision for my mental health along with the physical benifit. Don't hesitate! You'll be pleasantly surprised with how much comes back and how quickly.
This is the most inspiring thing I've seen in years. I'm 46 and just started Skateboarding again for the 1st time in 18 years. I've always wanted to get a BMX Street bike and give it a go. Stopped riding BMX as a kid and got into Skating. This lit a fire, thank you!
@@frankthetankct I thought you were 52? Xennial isn't a real thing, was made-up by a butt-hurt Millennial feminist in a magazine lol. Pew Research rejects the idea. Taking the smallest generation of all time and making it even smaller is the most Millennial thing ever hahahaha. But ok guy, you can think of yourself as a progressive hipster, think: me me me and go argue with your Boomer parents about how everything wrong with your feelings is all their fault. My parents are both born before WWII making them Silent Generation (born 1928-1945). Most Xers had Silent Generation parents. Did you have Boomers for parents? lol
One of my most memorable races was when I raced this 70 year old dude in a Mercedes SLK55 on an empty twisty highway. We were neck and neck even though my car had a superior power/weight ratio. I ended up winning at the last moment and he gave me a thumbs up and I’ll remember that forever. Never too old to enjoy the things you love.
I'm happy for you Frank Larson. You understand that with the bullshit in the World, people don't like to see others happy. It gave me great happiness to see you rippin it up. I do similar sessions but without the 180-360. I love street riding cause you find bumps in the sidewalk that you can get lift or other obstacles like little fences or rails to mash on. Love it dude, keep being awesome you. Peace man, from a fellow senior BMXer. I suggest to buy 2-3 used frames and build them so that your never bored and some spray paint.
I think it's the people beaten down into conformity that are the saddest and tend to lash out at people like us. You know, the ones that never chose their own paths. They need to try and make themselves happy instead of judging others. Street is my favorite for those reasons, too. Thanks!
@@frankthetankct I understand that, having suffered most all my life from fake friends to people thinking that they might try and pull wool over to cheating girlfriends and this is just the soft bullshit stuff that I've endured. Because they wanna be like Mike and haven't put the work in, and they get upset at life and try and find venues to blame, instead of looking in the mirror. I'll just leave it at this and wish you Frank happy trails and remember if it matters or not that your a dude man.
I started a petcare biz at 49 despite people close to me doubting it. Three years later, I have 70 clients and get daily inquiries for new ones. Now, I'm 52 and starting a woodworking biz for fun. Inspired to bust out my longboard and bomb some hills. Do what makes you happy no matter what age you are 💯
Amen brother, enjoy what you do. I'm in my late 30s and I love riding my bike 🚲🚲. It makes me feel young all over again. I think that is the reason I love riding. It becomes part of you, give a person passion and inspiration to others out there. It doesn't matter how old you are people. Enjoy the outdoors with your bmx, mountain bikes. Keep it real brother man, God bless 🙏🙏🙏💪.

Flippin sweeet , I’m fifty two and I still ride and when I go to the park sometimes I’ll throw a cherrypicker out there just sitting on the side lines and kids will just freak out! Even things like lawnmowers they just freak and then they want you to show them how to do it and it’s just a good time! Young and old the bike bridges the gap!
Fun memories! I started racing at twin peaks when Fuzzy hall was racing there. I didn’t know he was such a legend then. He always gave local riders great interactions, and words of encouragement. First time I watched him race he was doing 360s Over the huge doubles, and can cans as he destroyed the competition. I started racing Motocross (motorcycles) after the eighties and got pretty decent. He showed up at a local motocross race to attempt it. He came right up to me and asked for pointers. I couldn’t believe he remembered me. Anyway. Beringer and Aitken were my next influences being from Utah. And holy sh!t! They were amazing too!
@@slydwaysdrifter2159 All awesome dudes. I met Aitken once at a benefit jam. Told him I wall rode goofy footed like he does, super nice guy. Also, I can’t get over that gap Fuzzy did from Road Fools. It was gigantic, and he was too close to looping out, but he made it. Beringer has that sick flip to sprocket bash. I like to do endo bb grinds like that one he did in Road Fools 8. Don’t even get me started on his Little Devil part…
@@tommys2979 You don’t have to imagine. There are a bunch of edits on this channel from when I was in my twenties. I bar spun a lot and was slightly less creative.
I’m 49 and after about 10 years of not riding 20”, I turned it into a 24”, just so that I could hop up a curb now and then, or pull a manual. I love seeing you doing this, just to have fun!❤️🙂
Red Bull is delicious and I like their BMX team, but yeah. I lack the extravagant budget and foam pit training. I learned everything the hard way. Thank you for support!
45 years old and the only guy in my city of 5k who rides an e-skate. On my long board I can beat any car in town off the line.😂thought after a couple years I’d inspire someone to buy one, but not yet. Almost 2000 miles between my two boards and I love riding them more than my motorcycle.
You got my subscription. You just reminded me of how much I loved doing stalls and lip trick style grinds. Definitely did some I’ve never seen. The wonder was dope. You got my subscription.
At 45 myself i skateboard and inline skate and seem to get nothing but love from inside the community, a few odd looks from those who don't understand but i don't care, what the hell are they doing with their lives i will keep going as long as i can as there is no age limit on having fun
Your body will thank you later in life for maintaining exercise, metabolism, balance & mobility. At an age where many "fall into the chair permanently", which is the beginning of mental & physical decline. Keep it up Frankie! 💪Greetings from the nightless summer in the Nordics.
It’s funny how people think BMX is dying. That’s been said over and over as I pull out my S&M and ride constantly. My first dope bike was an ‘88 Robinson team series. I will always ride until I die or can’t do it anymore. I’m 48 and love this video and the riding is very unique. It’s got that Matt Beringer feel. Just absolutely fun!
20 inch wheels with maybe a 21 inch top tube or longer. Anything bigger is usually ill equipped for peg grinds. Try looking into a Sunday or Cult complete bikes.

It was gigantic, and he was too close to looping out, but he made it. Beringer has that sick flip to sprocket bash. I like to do endo bb grinds like that one he did in Road Fools 8. Don’t even get me started on his Little Devil part…
@@frankthetankct love it🤘🏼😎
you got a sick style. all about having fun!
Hell yeah I am. Thanks!
Hell yeah that’s beautiful! Thanks for the inspiration ;)
Thanks. Remember to cite your sources.
You got me over here trying to track down my childhood bike, a Giant Mosh lol. I use to LOVE hanging with my friends and flat-landing for hours!
@@resistthesystem6145 Check around FB marketplace. You’d be surprised.
Keep on rocking, dude!
@@nachsitzen_vg I will 🤘
We ride and ride till we get so old we can't ride anymore the body just won't let it happen. So keep doing what you love ❤. BMX ,Screw the others!
@@Intotheunknown44 Right on. Thanks!
Brush that backlash off, that's pure style and probably therapeutic. Sick fakie 360s and that hop over the net was 🦘
@@tcreate.s Thanks, the net took a few tries. Backlash thoroughly brushed.
keeps you in shape and all reflexes in tack, keep going bro, nothing wrong with that.
@@Photoshopuzr Not at all. Thanks!
As a 24 years old this is sick, bro. Nice and creative tricks I would like to learn next time I ride
Much props bother… 46 yo skater here. I love showin Gen y how it’s done
Thanks bud! Skate on!
Amazing, a lot of small cool tricks that you one really had to think off. It's not high amplitude but it's really creative.
I'm going for originality over risk factor. However, I have been applying the same stuff to bigger obstacles lately. Thanks!
Dude this shit is so stylish, fuck the haters.
Thanks! I agree. Haters are lame, but I've baited plenty on clicking this video, so that helps my algorithm 😁
that milk crate slide was not only clean as hell but super creative
@@thatonelonghairedguy764 Thanks 🙏 Saw a few others do it before me.
why is bmx looked at as a kids thing? it's great exercise and fun. With motorcross there are people of every age riding and why not?
Beats the gym any day in my book.
The description got me haha
You gotta play dirty to get the algorithm going on CZcams.
Dude youre a beast, i can only imagine how hard you rode back in your 20s. Keep it up!
@@tommys2979 You don’t have to imagine. There are a bunch of edits on this channel from when I was in my twenties. I bar spun a lot and was slightly less creative.
Where is the backlash?
😉
BMX ASMR. Hypnotic. Love the pacing and attitude.
@@christianvaneeden7460 I was going to title it that originally. Thanks!
I’m 49 and after about 10 years of not riding 20”, I turned it into a 24”, just so that I could hop up a curb now and then, or pull a manual.
I love seeing you doing this, just to have fun!❤️🙂
Awesome, thanks! I'm sticking with 20", its the most versatile for street.
This is better than anything red bull puts out. Well done my man, this is a beautiful thing
Red Bull is delicious and I like their BMX team, but yeah. I lack the extravagant budget and foam pit training. I learned everything the hard way. Thank you for support!
Toothpick crank flip was rad. You got me hyped to go ride, thank you
No problem. Go shred!
RESPECT. I'm 40 and there is no way i could hope to pull any of this off without a hospital visit.
Right on! I've had a few visits myself. All part of it.
45 years old and the only guy in my city of 5k who rides an e-skate. On my long board I can beat any car in town off the line.😂thought after a couple years I’d inspire someone to buy one, but not yet. Almost 2000 miles between my two boards and I love riding them more than my motorcycle.
@@awakenbeast2124 Cool 😎
Roll on brother, we are kids at heart!
Will do, bud!
man! last clip was a banger, loved every sec of this!
@@bertmanche3704 Thanks man!
You got my subscription. You just reminded me of how much I loved doing stalls and lip trick style grinds. Definitely did some I’ve never seen. The wonder was dope. You got my subscription.
Awesome! Thank you!
Dude this was sick!! Hell ya! Never stop! ❤️
@@keller_bmx Right on! I won’t 👍
Him: What's up fellow kids. 😎
Kids his age: That's illegal around these parts. 🤠
@@SCARFACE69247 Kids my age are in their late 30s.
Man this is awesome! That fakie 360 was sick
Thanks! One of my favorite tricks.
At 45 myself i skateboard and inline skate and seem to get nothing but love from inside the community, a few odd looks from those who don't understand but i don't care, what the hell are they doing with their lives i will keep going as long as i can as there is no age limit on having fun
@@bloodyknuckles9181 I agree.
Don’t let the haters get to you bro ! It’s awesome to see people doing what they love regardless of what anyone else thinks. Keep ripping 🤘🏼
@@madeinthe90s22 Right on!
Your body will thank you later in life for maintaining exercise, metabolism, balance & mobility. At an age where many "fall into the chair permanently", which is the beginning of mental & physical decline.
Keep it up Frankie! 💪Greetings from the nightless summer in the Nordics.
Thanks, I will! How's the street riding out there?
I'd rather be the old guy at a skate park than the old guy at a house party. Ride on, my fellow geezer!
I haven't been to a house party in like a decade. I'm sure kids from school still have them. I can imagine the cringe. Thanks!
It’s funny how people think BMX is dying. That’s been said over and over as I pull out my S&M and ride constantly. My first dope bike was an ‘88 Robinson team series. I will always ride until I die or can’t do it anymore. I’m 48 and love this video and the riding is very unique.
It’s got that Matt Beringer feel. Just absolutely fun!
@@slydwaysdrifter2159 Being compared to Beringer is a huge compliment. Thanks so much, I’ll keep it up 🤘
@@frankthetankct rock on!
Thank you for sharing in your life.
Keep shredding sir!!!!
Inspiring
Thanks! Will do.
46 and still love a cali surfer 🤟🏻 keep sending brother
Awesome! I will. Surf influence is everywhere.
love the content. it shows me how to do tricks too
can you do that wall ledge thing and make the rear come back from where it started?
@@char_rb7367 It's a possibility, just have to lift the front end the right way.
That milk crate slide was sick! Creative af man
@@Bunsdo Thanks! I’ve seen it done before a few times, but I threw it in for fun.
I’m 47 and just getting back into skating and bmx….fvck the haters! Do it for you, dude!
@@westhompson2118 I will, thanks!
Yo that nose crankflip was sick dude
@@thx4ban736 Thanks dude 👍
You got skills dude who gives a shit what anyone says if the talk shit handle that... bless😏
@@Idkbroidont Bless yah back, dude!
I fully resoect the no wax grinds.
Metal for life
Nothing is maintained in my area anymore. Metal is the only option unless I hit the park. Thanks!
0:44 “Yes!” 😂 that was so clean lmao
@@fote1382 Your avatar is a minion.
@@frankthetankct Yes, it is Stuart from the Despicable Me series
@@fote1382 This chick I know, her sister dresses as a slutty minion every year for Halloween. Or at least she did. Imagine that.
milk crate grind was awesome and reminds me of something i would of done back in the day. 🍻
Thanks! It's really fun and easy to do.
I really want to get back into riding. I’m pretty tall now what size bike would be recommended?
Keep doing you bud, hats off to you!
20 inch wheels with maybe a 21 inch top tube or longer. Anything bigger is usually ill equipped for peg grinds. Try looking into a Sunday or Cult complete bikes.
bmx bike was my first bike loved the pegs. i would bike it while sitting backwards ahah
Nice!
I don't know what you're talking about I'm 50 and I Crush every part in Seattle and I get nothing but love from everyone
@@polarbear9662 I’ve been to Seattle. I’m from Connecticut. East coast is a way different vibe.
I feel this in my soul as 40 year old who skateboards in a small town.
@@jmzan I hear yah. Kind of like being an old ghost 👻
The drop in on the slide was siiiiiiick
@@hikerzeek8844 Yeah, a lot of fun too. Thanks!
Damn brah 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼 greetings from the UK 👍🏼🍻🇬🇧, new subscriber here 👍🏼🍻🇬🇧

Much respect. What you do keeps you young and fit.
@@Left_hand_clapping Yeah it’s the 9 to 5 that ages you. Thanks!

Thanks! Trying to be my most original.
I stopped riding at 19, im 35 now and back at it full on. f what anyone thinks, it puts the biggest smile on my my face
@@angloviking3798 Good to hear 👂
Im 44 and i ride (or try my best at least). I wish i could go out and ride with you! good work!
Thanks! I'll keep it up.
Keep on shredding buddy! Show those haters that middle finger in its full, unadulterated glory
Will do! Thanks!
