This week i got myself an inexpensive 09' Haro steel Reserve DJ bike to ride indoor during my downhill offseason. I brought it to the skate park in Hackettstown, NJ and had lotta fun but also took many diggers. Any advice on how to turn 180 on a quarter pipe and come down without crashing? Is it like a bunnyhop 180 at my apex? I know its super generic question but i was doin something wrong, looking for tips.
First time park riding on a DJ

Come to hackettstown saturday and ill throw you some pointers.
dont start on a quarter pipe. try a mellow bank. a quarter could be a bit intimidating.
I think i might be at hackettstown this sunday morning, if any other 26" wheels wanna takeover the place lemme know.
I agree that starting on those big quarters on a busy wends night was not preferable. I guess i'll practice on the non vert quarter, and practice those little 180 hops. I just seemed to get so tired doin those over and over... definetly goin to whip me into shape if i don't break my elbows in the meantime.

yeah sorry, that was some pretty poor info. I'm used to empty outdoor half pipes and mini ramps. Turning up and trying to use a quarter during a busy session at a park probably won't help you learn or make any friends.
a flat bank or just riding with people better than you will see you get it pretty quick

Yea i definetly felt like a newb crashing in front of everyone there. It is a big difference from my dh background, but like anything i guess i just gotta practice. This time howerever, i'll wear elbow and knee/shin guards.
yo eric what time are you goin' sunday morning? I'd be down to head out with you
myself and a few others will be at h-town sunday ridin 26's sunday morning as usual.
I will definitely be there on sunday, I am not sure about the morning. Maybe afternoon because it is cheaper and there are less little kids.
I'm out. My gf got us tickets to see avatar in imax 3d. booya!
I saw you there. I was that kid on the raw blackmarket.
