Where to ride BMX in Phoenix?

Should i let my kid ride Bmx street?

  • My 15 year old son seems to like bmx street and would like to get a bike but i don't know if i should let him, isn't it considered an extreme sport? He sits around the house all day so bmx street seems ok, he played football but didn't like it. Isn't there risks for Bmx i don't want him getting his arm broken or GETTING RUN OVER!!! but i guess it can distract him from drugs and what not idk anyone mind helping me out?

I'm going to be quite blunt here. The risks involved in riding a bicycle - any kind of bicycle - are outweighed by the benefits. And I'm not a big fan of BMX bikes - but it sure beats sitting at home on your butt playing video games or watching the boob tube. How not to get run over? Simple. Learn the rules of the road & use them. BE SEEN! Be predictable when riding on the streets - where a bicycle belongs - not on the sidewalks. In all 50 states & Canada a bicycle is described by law as a "vehicle" to be used on the streets. See link below - Bicycling Street Smarts. Read this from beginning to end WITH you son. Make sure he understands it all. Another good idea would be to go out riding with him! I did. By the ripe old age of 12 - my son was riding 3 to 4 miles from home & back on his own. I made sure he understood the law & the proper way to deal with traffic.

It doesn't sound bad He just has to be careful were he rides, I do Bmx, and its really fun, and the only thing you need to be worried about is him wearing a helmet, and and have him go to the skate park so nothing will be in his way, so you should let him get involved in it, and I know someone who wasn't involved in anything and they ended up on weed, then to crack.
