So I bought I DK 8 pack last year but I haven't really got myself into riding bmx yet I've just been riding the bike around town. Now I want to learn bmx but I'm not sure how to approach the sport. I have woods near by with some decent trails where I could build some jumps but I'm thinking street/park would be more practical since theres a skate park down the road (not a specific bmx park though).

So should I just try to doing basic tricks from intructions of the web at the park and anywhere I can or is there some sort of class I should take or should I try to find somebody who knows how to ride and ride with them?
