Im 35, but feel 40+ after I ride/race. I also am forced to race much yunger racers. That isn't a problem, but my endurance is nowhere close to what it was at 20.

However, at least I am still riding and I still get better everytime, I just feel it more the next morning.

I haven't hit 40 yet, I'm gettin close at 37. I still ride as often as I can. I think I continue to improve with age. With consistent riding my endurance is able to match most the younger guys I ride with. Its the crashes that seem to be soo much worse with age. These days I know that every time I hit the ground I'm gonna be out of commission for a while. .....When I was 25 the ground was much softer.

I still enjoy big air and tricks as much as I always have.

I am 38 going be 39 in the fall. I still have to race against the young punks. Our series doesn't even have 30+ class, however, we have a 40 + class.

My dad is 46 and he still races 40+ in neatv. hes not shure but this year might be his last year because hes got a little more important thing to take care off but he still isnt shure.

this is my dad, me, and my littler brother after a good day of practice.

35 and have no plan to stop !! Age makes me a little smarter than most of the guys, (Seat time) is the key to that ! I couldnt stop if I wanted to, I just got my son into racing. Drink light beer and date younger woman !! Just tell yourself your 25. LOL !!

Oh, it hurts to reply in this thread! :p I am 41... My last racing was a couple flat track races last year, but no pics. Here is the last pic I had taken, 3 years ago. I am on the LT250R. I plan on getting back into more this year.
