Dirt jumping , is that a trick ? If it is then that would have been the first thing I did on a bmx.

Like the others I had wheelies and bunnyhops on my Grifter, but the bunnyhop was the both wheels together stylee.  I think my first 'proper' BMX trick was the wheeliehop, or American bunnyhop - front wheel first yeah?

Jeez......  Seems like a VERY long time ago........ :(

Getting old sucks.

My first real trick without it being putting a z-rim at a 90 degree angle, and something that I could pull off most times and felt good, that took hours of practice and pain....was a wheelie hop over the top of another standing up bike end on - started over at the rear wheel then over the top of the other bikes bars then landed without a wipeout, boy did I have a grin...... even got a fiver for that first time, it went towards another renthal post (anyone that knows me will remember that I got through wheels and seat posts quite often)........thinking about it now it was crazy, no lid either and on tarmac and I was only a nipper...

I also used to jump bikes upside down on the doubles at Royston track for a dare.....it's making me laugh tears even thinking about it....  :'( and once got in trouble at a race meet cos I jumped right over the top of another EA rider......hehehe...his dad was not happy but I got the trophy  ;D
