This is my generation right there. All household names for me. At 57, I just dusted the cobwebs off my old 20 inch, updated some things and I am now eyeballing a new20 inch racing setup. I rode 20" on and off for the past 30 years but was always on the mountain bikes. I have concluded MTB makes you soft...LOL Who knows, maybe this old pro will make a comeback. Good stuff!!
Outstanding selection and commentary! I remember watching Rupe and Griggs in the early '80s, now I'll be running in that 51+ age group myself before long. I haven't found a good video from which to work yet, but I'd love to get your take on an X-Games Downhill Supercross event from that 2000-ish era with Brian Foster, Robbie Miranda, et al. Cheers!
This was fun to watch. Thanks Conner! I'm a 50 year old novice and have learned a lot from you. Hopefully things will calm down soon so I can take what I've learned to the track. I got first at the Sooner Nationals and I'm hoping to get to the Intermediate class before the Grands this year. You won't remember me but I thanked you for your videos at the Grands this last year. Have a great day!
As a Dad (47) of two boys that are new to racing and an ex -racer myself these videos have been amazing. Hoping to see a 26" Cruiser in my future and an entry form
I just turned 55. And, just picked up GT pro series cruiser. A buddy of mine just bought a Redline 24. Getting back on the track this spring! Gonna be great just being at the track. Not sure how fast I wanna go but just hearing that cadence before the gate drops will be amazing!
U should do commentary for evey race of champions main! Hearing a champs commentary is cool. And it will give you tons of content and stuff to do to combat this covid-19 boredom!
God bless your Dad..I've raced my entire life and had to quit due to Crohn's disease. Got 2nd at Southpark National. My last race at 46..I'm now 53.my little sister go 2nd in the world..Bmx was my life since 1978..Merry Christmas and Dad dont forget to PEDAL!! GOD BLESS ALL..Frank Balazs jr.."The Actor "!!

I turn 52 June 4th. Raced BMX competitively until 17 finished in expert class. Won 2nd at Superbowl of BMX in 1986 in Texas. I have joined USABMX and will be trying to get back into this amazing sport again along with my 9 year son and daughter. I purchase a 2022 Chase Edge Cruiser.
I can’t really tell, but the announcer coming in on the second half of the race, reminds me of Jim Reilly... I haven’t been to a race since 2002... correct me if I’m wrong?

Today, you're 53. Still riding? I'm 53 and getting back into it. I love that older OG riders can still race bmx
@@lenBrill1971 , Been riding on a casual basis this year. Been rather busy but hope to get back to it next year. ;)
So rad! Grew up in Donnie Robinson's insanely fast class, looking up to half the guys in this gate.

This gave me inspiration as I’m about to turn 38 and embarking in my BMX racing career! 😬 Hopefully I don’t suck too bad. 🤪
Rupe and Griggs were from my days racing! Cool to see them still at it!!
Its cool see u narrating an old school race, Thats great Connor, congrats
It definitely says something when the most exciting race of the day is the 51 and over expert.
Excellent job taking a 15 second race and really highlighting how fast you have to react....excellent race craft
Heck yeah! That is so awesome! Those guys put on a show. Damn, I am sorry, I didn't get to see it in person

you are correct!
Connor Fields Thought so! I used to race against his son Matt “Scat Matt” Reilly growing up. Does he still race?
@@kallusmusicchannel7261 oh gosh, no. Matt’s last race was the 98 Grands. Our dad still announces tho 😉
I watched all day. This was the best race of 2019 Grands
That was satisfying but cool
51 and over woo hoo cool. It looks like fun but I'm too fat.
