And we're in, ladies and gentlemen, first episode of 2020.

It's 2022 and we're on episode 27.

And do you remember we used to ride those bikes with 27 half inch wheels? I do remember those, yeah, man. That was way before Ben Z's generation, you know? That was a while ago. It's actually, yeah. That's actually an old wheel size now, isn't it? It seems that way. It's becoming old, isn't it? Yeah, it's sort of done in it now. Crazy really, when you think about that. What's next, dude? Where do we go? Do we go, big go? I don't know. I think we just keep changing. Or maybe go back. You just need... Yeah, just back and forwards now, I reckon, yeah. I just need a World Cup racer to go back to 650B or maybe 26.

Are you allowed to? back and forwards now i reckon yeah just need a world cup racer to um go back to 650b or maybe are you

are you allowed to could you could you ride a 24 on the rear and a 29 in front dude someone

would you would the uc.l allow you i don't know i guess can't see why not would they i don't know

i don't know what the or is it against manufacturers' policies or something because then they'd struggle

because they'd have to make them again. And I feel like there's a lot more of that maybe involved than what you might. Yeah, for sure. But I'd love to know what the rules are because, yeah, you would have thought someone would have tried out of like a 31. you know ages ago i had low on the podcast, and it was when 29ers were just starting to become a thing. And he went on this iconic rant about 29ers, and he was like, I'll never ride one. They're for old people like Greg. They're like, so shit. And then the next season he was there lined up on the 29er. Or maybe like two or something it was like you have no say you are riding no you have to move on with times don't you riding this bike and also what I do like about that is that ultimately that all bikes are just fun anyway aren't they so yeah true you know it's not like there's any like really not fun size no it's just some

stuff better than other stuff at different things and although bmxes aren't fun when you get past

a certain age i'll be honest not for me they're not they're not fun and i haven't even tried i

actually haven't tried a bmx for years and years and years they look scary though the head angles

yeah the whole thing's terrifying especially now that it's trendy to not have breaks on. Yeah, or not for me. You can keep that. Have you been anyway, dog? Have you been? How's your festive period? How's the new year been? Dude, how has it been? Great question. How has it been? It's been good, actually. I took a, it's nice to have some time off, I'll be honest. I didn't quite know what to do with myself last week.

Yeah.

I was like, oh, this week we're recording on Friday and the episode is not coming out until Wednesday, which is... It feels like it's been a long time. Doing weekly stuff feels like just normal now, doesn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it is weird, man, not having to do this on the Monday.

It was weird.

Kind of nice, but also...

What did you do on the Monday?

What did I do on the monday it was it was weird kind of nice but also do on the

monday what did i do on the monday i think i was still on holiday so yeah we went up to uh northumberland

for those people not familiar with uk geography up north further up north and as you look at the

uk on the right and side so on the east coast, above Newcastle. North is north as fuck, isn't it? That's where that race was. Near Danny Hart's bike park is probably a good way of describing it. Oh, there you go. Right, cool. So we went up there. My mum and her partner had a place, like a cottage sort of booked right on the beach so we were like

right let's help skip up there took a bit of a road trip and just hung out for a few days spent
