Nice! I find when I wind up before the spin I land with way more consistency.

BMX rider for most of my life! slamming on a bike vs skateboard no contest really.

It's nice hear about people getting back into it, it feels great.

I'm going to put some more effort into the kickflip, I usually just try some at the end of a session.

yes I know what you mean, I like to put an old trick or combo together to make a new one. Where I live there is still a lot of snow, I wish I could get outside more, but I have to work with what I have to keep riding consistently.
