Not the last one in the pool

14 06 2018

Jim Cielencki’s “retirement” from riding seems to have gone off (or into) the deep end as of late.

But that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

In a bit of an unexpected surprise, Jim C has dived back into riding (at least for the moment) to session a local pool that’s scheduled to get filled in soon.

He’s been documenting those sessions on his Instagram account. And based on the comments there, I’m not the only one stoked to see Jim C out riding again.

I’m beginning to embrace the fact that I can’t just turn it off. I’ve ridden straight up and down on the tight part of the deep end, but I’ve never “aired” it and I sure have never “aired” it on the 24” bike. Glad to get another session at the pool. #sundaybikes #wavec #modelc #24bmx #bmx #bmxcruiser #plussizebmx #bigbmx #sundaymodelc

And even though it’s only the third time this year out on his bike…according to Jim this is “the highest [he’s] aired in this pool”.

It really is just like riding a bike. This is the third time I’ve ridden my bike this year, I guess It becomes ingrained in you after riding the bike continuously for 30+ years. You just don’t forget. I think this is the highest I’ve aired in this pool, not bad for “retirement”. #sundaybikes #modelc #24bmx #wavec #plussizebmx #bigbmx #sundaymodelc
