I want to start trail riding (problem)
I just decided that I dont really like flatland, it's fun and all but just to boring I guess. I'm thinking I wanna start trail riding but I dont know of any actual trails around here. The closest thing to trails is this dirt race track which has step-ups and table tops but no doubles or anything. I was wondering that if I were able to clear a full table top would I be able to clear double, how do I get good air on jumps and stuff, and what tricks I should start off with? Thanks in advance.

Depends on the size of the double really but i suppose you should be able to
|
If there are no trails around you, you should go to your local skatepark and ask around, or become freinds with the other trail riders...
Or just find a nice wooded area or field and build your own! As for tricks, just try simple stuff first like one footers, one handers, no footers, x-ups you know... |
One of my favorite tricks are suicide no handers.
Sure, they're one of the easier tricks, but if done right they look great. |
Suicide no handers arent easy... Tuck no handers are easyer though.

Really?
I learned them on my mtb in less then a week and just carried it over to my BMX, never really took any work. All my friends did the same. |
I havent acctually tried them, but they don't seem like an easy trick.
|
start dinkin' around at the track. thats how i learned how to jump.

As for suicides, you have to pinch your seat and they just are scarier, and tucks look better. |
I think suicides look way better, especially if they are done going fast over like a 20' double. And yeah tucks are easy. I can get them out to tail tap sometimes on a 5' mini ramp near me.

I was doing my newly learned tobaggans today at the trails, but they were horrible because it was a little wet and i was scared of how steep i made my line... |
