I was just wondering if there's many BMX bikers in the skiing world. At my skatepark, when I told people I was a freeskier and they had no idea what I was talking about and they looked at me like I was a dumbass. I think BMX biking is a great alternative to skiing In the summer if there isn't an available summer setup for you. It might not be the same but it still helps pass time in the offseason

I used to and it was a super good time. I wasn't great, but it was fun to flow around the park. I also had a freecoaster and that was fun to mess around with .

I just started getting into it. I crashed bad in a motocross race and had to quit so bmx just kind of fills the void

My trusty shred whip - GT DLSY frame with mostly Eclat parts


And about 5 minutes from my apartment is this gem of a concrete park


It's definitely a skatepark designed for skaters, but it's still a good time. Plus in my old age, I feel bad grinding ledges in Salzburg since they are from the 1400's. I feel like I am destroying history haha.

Definitely helped my DH riding BMX first, but if you do pick up BMX (or a 26" dirt jumper) your DH skills will improve dramatically. You will be come a much smoother rider, better able to find flow through jumpy sections of trail.
