So at 42 years old I'm back into riding a bmx bike. We now have a couple really nice concrete skate/bike parks local to me. I've been messing around at one that has a 3 leaf clover pool that is 10-12' at the deepest point. I've tossed my bike down in it and messed around but couldn't bring myself to drop in or try to pop out.
Today I went to the other local park that has a much larger pool with a ton of flat bottom, a capsule and a brand new "point" in the flat bottom. This one isn't near as deep at 6-10' depending on what part of the pool you're in. Once again I slid my bike down in and road around for a bit and was finally able to try and pop out but ended up pussing out and hoping off the bike 3/4 of the way up the wall and landing on my feet while holding onto one grip to keep the bike from sliding back in. I did this twice in about an hour long period.
There was a couple small features at the 2nd park but not near as much as the 1st. The second is built mostly around the pool and the 1st is more spread out with more grinding features with multiple ledges.
I'd really like to drop in on the 2nd park and I was close a couple times but couldn't bring myself to hop in. I have dropped into stuff 20 years ago but nothing like the depth of these pools. The hoping out is just going to take me a while but I know I'll get there. I'm off work right now so I've been going in the morning since the parks are empty before 9am.
Any suggestions or tips?
