My six year old is very into cycling – we go mountain biking, to a skate park or a pump track a couple of times a week. He’s super confident for his age and is trying to jump off and ride down everything in sight. At the moment he can confident drop into a mini bowl, jump out by using speed (as in the pic), wheelie drop off about 18 inches high, use rollers and ramps to pump and jump. He can’t manual or bunny hop yet but he’s definitely trying to do both.

I’m a reasonably competent mountain biker and I’m happy teaching him that but I don’t have a clue about bmx. Like I can manual and bunny hop, but I can’t e.g. fakie and I don’t have a clue what the next step in his progression should be. There are no BMX clubs local to us but I’m looking into some further afield.

How did you guys learn skills and tricks when you were wee?
