I dont particulary know any good jumps near that area to be honest but i can help with technique.

Landing and knowing how to take off are key issues.


Landing for example - Lean back slightly so it reduces risk of going over the handle bars and smashing your face in but make sure you land neatly

If you feel you are going to crash try to adjust your body position to help move the bike into the direction you wish.


Taking off- Basically as you are about to jump pull up on your handlebars doing a slight wheelie this will allow you to actually get air and not look like an idiot missing the landing or jump at all.

BMX track at ringwood park near hollingwood/inkersall may work. But not too sure as I like 2 wheels firmly on the floor :shock: my only attempt at jumping was very very painful :oops: :oops:

I am also based in Chesterfield PM me if you want to know anything else.

Edited so as not to sound like a proposistion :oops: :oops:
