those mirraco frames look realllll nice. its all personal preference i guess. the way you set up your bike is gonna make or break things tho. a good wheelset and some big bars will help get you goin.

im terrified of heights. but i have no problem riding trails and airing ramps.  i think the whole point of bmx... the thing that makes it really really fun and keeps you coming back again... is scaring the shit out of yourself but making it. the feeling you get when you do something that really makes your heart beat fast.... and you ride away smooth... thats what bmx is supposed to feel like. my advice to you is this: if you know you can do it, and youve got the technique down, then suck it up and go for it. go as fast as you can at that vertwall and just blast it.

ride the shit out of the track.  clearing a stepup will help you clear a double. but its better to jump the doubles at the track. most tracks are settup so that you need to go as fast as you can to clear the doubles. thats fine tho you wont be that high in the air, theyre just kind of far. tricks are for much much later. seriously, the stuff to learn now, is to ride FAST, and be smooth. learn to pump and manual and anti pump. the basic mechanics need to be there wayyyy before you worry about any kind of tricks. learn to be as smootha s you can, because when you DO find real trails, youre gonna see real doubles that send you nice and high, its important to have solid basics and not over jump them. land both wheels at the same time, nosedive everything. learning to ride rhythm is the hardest part about trails. once you can ride rhythm, its all balls from there on out. tricks will come once youve got good balance and good bike control. which will take at LEAST a year to develop. good luck. have fun. dont get in retarded arguments with internet bmxers that may or may not be actual riders.
