I just tried my first couple Outdoor Nationals this summer at the age of 29. (Colorado, High Point, Muddy Creek)
Looking to give it another shot in 2019 if my recovery goes as planned after shoulder surgery.

Also, I did not start racing until I was 18 as well. I rode as kid but not very often. I did race BMX at an expert level though so that helped for sure. And I climbed all the way to unknown local pro in SoCal
My old man had his first race at 45....no pro but could wheelie like one.
He got a CZ pro ride at 19 years old.

Metcalf was 16 and thought he would give racing a go.. 1 year of racing he won an aussie tittle. hit 18 and thought he would give it a go doing it full time.
could say it worked out well for him
Post a reply to: Any pro riders that started riding late? Like 10-14 years old.
