Growing Up BMX | A Gen X Childhood Story

Описание: For a lot of us who grew up in the 70s, 80s, and early 90s, BMX wasn’t just a bike — it was freedom, independence, and our first taste of risk and responsibility.

In this episode of Burn Slow Bus, I look back at growing up Gen X with BMX bikes, from my very first bicycle at 5 years old to racing BMX as a kid, and the bike I had on layaway when I was 9 — until my dad surprised me with it on my 10th birthday. Those moments shaped who I became, and they still stick with me decades later.

This video isn’t about specs or tricks. It’s about what BMX meant to an entire generation — riding until the streetlights came on, learning hard lessons the painful way, and finding confidence through something as simple as a bike.

Burn Slow Bus is about nostalgia, storytelling, and growing up analog in a digital world. It’s about the machines, memories, and moments that helped shape us — and why they still matter today.

If you grew up riding BMX, racing bikes, or dreaming about the one hanging in the bike shop window… this one’s for you.
