There is no place to hang up my helmet, so I guess I can't quit? j/k I used to ride with my dad last year, he is 55. He just hung up his helmet, because he has bad knees. He drives a sandrail now, and loves it. I'm 33, and I don't see myself quitting any time soon. A lot of dune riders change over to sandrails when they start to get beat up a little to much from riding hard, but I can't stand driving in the dunes. I would rather ride.

My dad kinda stopped last year. He didn't ride to much last year and hes like 55 or somthing.

When i stop riding it will because i fell and got seriously hurt and made me relize that riding isnt worth being peralized (sp) or when im to old like in my 90s.
