I am moving house soon, and just found out there is going to be an indoor skatepark opening near to where I'm moving to.

I haven't ridden ramps (half pipes and stuff) since I was a kid (17 years ago) and wondered if my dirtjump bike will be okay for riding at the skatepark. (it has a 21" top tube, I'm 5'11" and it feels just right for Dirtjumping)

I reckon It'll be fine and it'll probably just take me a little time to get my head round the different riding style again.

Just wanted to get some feedback.

You shouldn't have any problems. Some people like small bikes for street/ramps. But I am 6' and ride a thrillseeker with a 21" tt.

as long as it's a decent bike from a decent company you'll have no problems, I've been riding skate parks on my trailboss for 4 years now and it's still in good shape

if you have a really long rear end it might make manuals a bit harder, but not to much else. Have fun I went from racing to street and dirt at the same time, it's all in how hard you want to learn.

good luck bud!!! have fun

Well I ride my cruiser on ramps.

It isn't ideal but it works. Just try your bike and if you're dissatisfied later, then worry.

If I feel ok on my bullit at the skatepark you should have no problem at all.
