Like this guy?Swap the tires for slicks if you do so you don't wash out and break your teeth.

Wear a helmet?There is a skatepark near me and I always wondered if I should taken my MTB there. I'm pushing 50 so would need to be careful. Wouldn't know how to start even. Any ideas?
Maybe I'll skip the skate park..

You can start with basics anywhere. I strained my back two weeks ago, and just got back on the bike this week. Mostly doing core work but I need to have a little fun (I’m only 57).There is a skatepark near me and I always wondered if I should taken my MTB there. I'm pushing 50 so would need to be careful.

Looking good 👍🏼My daughter discovered BMX racing a couple years back so I started riding the BMX track with her on a DJ. mostly just practices, but I’ll enter a race once in a while. Also started riding pump tracks with her in the off season for her training and the flow trails etc..
This has done wonders for my progression out on the trail. I pump and jump stuff on the trail that I previously just rode over. Makes trail riding a lot more fun. These skills transfer to trail riding so well. I still need work, but way better than I was just a couple years back
Bonus, there is a photog at the track for many of the races, so I get to see myself in action.

Definitely. I love riding downhill tech but get sketched out on the flat and uphill tech. I just keep thinking about pedal striking and falling backwards on the uphills.Anyone else trying to improve?
