We can’t complain about the number of concrete parks being built, but sometimes they’re just too far away. Sure, you hit the streets looking for spots, but have you tried the local BMX track? Times of sticking out your foot when entering the first turn are over. First of all, the MX part has disappeared out of BMX. Dirt first turns with loose dirt where you had to stick out your foot are hard to find. BMX Tracks have concrete or brick turns now and with everyone clipped in, it will be rare to see a rider dive in the first turn with his foot sticking out.
