So i recently decided to stop riding big wheels and ride summit smaller for a while so bmx was the obvious choice

park is very different to dirt so the tricks i usualy would try and adapt dont have much relevence unless i hit the spine

so can anyone gimme some tips on the first tricks i should look at doing in the park

i got descent hops and can foofanu pretty good just were is best to start ?

thanks XD xx

180's look cool and if yur good enough 360's if you can 360 a mtb you can 360 a bmx way easier, i alost really like going to the top of a bank, then footjamming and bunny hopping back in it looks cool and you'll probably get it around 5th try.

Hops, spins, manuals, lip tricks(disaster,tire tap etc), barsipns, grinds. just go onto youtube and watch some pro bmxers. that should give you some ideas.

i'd learn how to ride the park first. a bunch of tricks over a spin isn't nearly as fun as flowing a park with lots of style and not doing any tricks at all. it all depends on the park though. you should learn how to boost out of quarters and get comfortable riding wierd vert stuff. its a big change coming from riding dirt to parks.

The first thing i learned on my bmx was footjam whips...but that's probalby not the best beginner trick. try stuff like 180's, hops...ect but first make sure you just get the feel of the bike cause it feels much different then a mtb.
