Hi there guys and girls!

I have just joined up to this forum after having a quick look around and seeing whats what. I have owned one of my BMX's for 14 years but it is mega heavy and I have never been very good at doing any proper riding on it so recently just bought another lighter bike. I have started getting into freestyle riding and really want to have a crack at park riding but don't really know where to start. There are a couple of cool looking parks right by my apartment but I was unsure if it is acceptable to just turn up and ride around a park or if I will get laughed out of there for my inexperience.

How did you all get started?

just go ride man. no one will laugh at you (and if they do they are douches) they were all beginners once too. I started riding when I was about 14 and I just went to my local park and rode. if you are worried about your inexperience, just go ride early, or later when there aren't that many people there. I like riding with people who are better than me (even if I don't know them) cause it pushes me to ride harder and get better.

The other problem is outside of a bunnyhop I don't know any tricks so would literally just be riding around! I think going early or later is a good idea cheers!

They seem to be pretty popular here in Germany. It's alright but I am going to be swapping them out for something else
