Bmx stunts I’ve been riding bikes since I was about 4, I always liked riding bikes and I thought the people that could do stunts were so cool. My dad did stunts and racing when he was younger so that made me want to do it even more. 7th grade i got my first bmx bike I was so happy. I started trying to stunts because i thought it was so cool and I wanted to be able to do what I had seen pros do. that year I started trying the basics like wheelies, bunny hops, and jumping out of bowls. I fell and got hurt a lot trying these tricks I especially got hurt with wheelies. In 8th grade I got a new better bike I loved that bike and spent so much money on it and I customized it to my preference so much. 8th grade was pretty good year I learned a lot of new tricks that are a lot cooler and more impressive. some of the tricks I learned were how to 180, feeble and double peg which are grinds that you can do on a bike and they’re very fun to do. one thing that sucked was that in 8th grade my bike was stolen I was so sad and mad but I couldn’t do anything luckily my friend had a spare bike that I fixed up. It was tough to adjust to his bike and it wasn’t as nice as mine nor as good but at least I had a nice bike to use while I didn’t have one. This year I bought a new sexy all blacked out fit bike that I just absolutely love although i liked my other bike more. I finally got this bike some new parts to start customizing it and i'm making it black and gold and I might add some red too. Now that I have this bike I’ve learned some new tricks that are pretty sick like g-turns which are like a 180 but you just do it on your front wheel instead of jumping. Besides that trick I’ve also learned how to smith grind and i’m working on bar spins now. Something interesting is that my favorite time to ride is at night. I like riding at night since it's more quiet and the sun isn't burning me. It' especially nice to ride outside at night in the summer when it's like 60 or 70 degrees outside. Going to skate parks at night is also so much better than in the daytime because there is usually no one there so its not crowded and super loud. There is a lot of reasons I like riding at night but I don't always get to ride at night because my parents don't want me out alone. Sometimes they let me though and they take me to skate parks pretty late sometimes which is really nice of them. Riding at night can be kind of challenging since there isn't much light to see but skate parks tend to have lights that turn on when it gets dark. The worst thing about doing bike tricks is falling because there is no way to avoid it and it sucks. I've gotten hurt so much but no matter how bad I hurt myself I always just want to get back up and continue doing what I love. twice have I had to go to the emergency room and twice have I had to go to physical therapy. My parents told me to stop riding after I had to have a cast but the second I got my cast off I started riding and i even rode a little with it on. One day I want to become a pro and I want to get sponsored by my favorite bmx companies. I'd also love to have a bike named after like my favorite pros. There is nothing that I could have more passion for or love more than biking it's just so much fun and just an awesome hobby. There is so many reasons why I love biking and I could go on and on about why I enjoy it so much but i'm going to leave it here. |
