Park Tips
SMART STYLE:1.) Look Before You Leap – Scope around the jumps first, not over them. Know your landings are clear and clear yourself out of the landing area. 2.) Easy Style It – Start small and work your way up. Inverted aerials are not allowed at BBMR. 3.) Respect Gets Respect - From the lift line through the park.
