Hey I'm just getting in to BMX and getting it this month, (Kink Gap LHD 2016) and my close mate is also getting a BMX soon and we were wondering if there are any riders near Solihull or Birmingham? We ride these parks:
Tudor Grange
Shirley
Creation (Birmingham)
Solihull BMX track
If you live round our area or want to ride email me at cammo148@hotmail.co.uk
Happy riding!

I have recently started again after 25 years or so (had the bike just over 1 week), I plan to start back on the pump track in a few weeks once I have got some strength and balance back. I have a few mates that ride the Bishops Tachbrook one, lucky for me they are away in the Alps cycling so I can get some practice in before they come back!
At the moment I am finding it really tough, my body is struggling, went out last night and really struggled to even bunny hop, just no strength left after long session on Sat.
Really trying to get onto the grind box (200mm high), almost embarrassing that I can not, used to clear park benches no problems... At the moment just rolling around the park getting used to it.
My fakie is getting close I think, manual seemed impossible a week ago, it seems I may manage it is a few more weeks.
Its funny that these things used to be second nature to me, I think my brain knows how to do it still, but my body can / will not do what its told!
Dupe...
