Hiya im 31 not the fittest bloke (beer belly but not fat 😂) never done bmx before but i have always wanted to my whole life, so i dought a cheap bike off gumtree (federal extension) but i still dont know how to get started and dont feel confident to go to a park as im still learning to wheelie or bunny hop. Any advice is much appreciated. Im pontefract way in west yorkshire. Thanks

Most of us are the other side of 40 on here, but there seems to be a lot more younger members coming on board.

Keep an eye on the members, events, chat pages as Im sure there will be something to join in on.

You have done the right thing getting a used bike to get practice on.

Over 40s really! I was so worried i was going to be the old one always in the way of the cool young kids.
Im so glad there are older people into the sport.
I will certainly keep an eye out thank you very much

Is anyone local that i could come and join for a couple of hours to get to know them and learn how to ride as my self teaching method seems to be abit lacking?

Get yourself to Cleethorpes this Saturday mate, it's only a booze cruise but loads of northern monkeys to introduce yourself to and see if any of them ride.

In the members events section Ed209 posts up the ramp nights but they tend to be nearer the midlands
