New Zealand BMX riders show that skill and creativity goes into both building and riding dirt jumps. Dirt jumps are the foundation of BMX riding. It's where it all began, with kids sculpting crude take-offs just to get a taste of almighty airtime. That tradition has carried on, only now riders are digging deep in the woods and creating intricate and beautiful trails on a mammoth scale.
As you can see in the video above, it doesn't matter if it's in BMX hotspots in the U.S. like Pennsylvania or Austin, Texas, or if it's halfway across the world in New Zealand -- the passion for dirt riding is strong everywhere.

I love how dirt jumps/ trail videos are completely timeless! You could watch this 10 years from now and it will still look so sick! No huge spin to win trick just simple flow and style for days!

you want to know what's really sad when dirt jumps like those sink back into the ground because the kids that used to ride them grew up and left the sport behind

Yeah, there's 1 or 2 good spots here, but when ever new stuff is added people (Non riders) always bitch about it. No one ever puts much time into them though, because someone else will just come along and wreck it.

There are some local jumps that i have been maintaining and riding, i didn't build them but I work on them a lot. The owner of the land saw what we were doing so he gave us a bunch of wood and the opportunity to use his tractor to build whatever we want this weekend. I'm pumped to see what we get built 🤙

+driverjackboy build your own trails!! or use game trails, or paths that are very very rarely used- and absolutely respect other peoples work. its not fair that we dig big jumps and dips and gaps into paths people have walked for a long time

thats what i said i gave up nuilding my own because people ruined our jumps or messed them up so we went to some we knew about and the bike parks chicksands etc i used to be dedicated to making jumps brought spades and boxes and even got a wheelbarrow from somewhere we found and they wasnt big jumps and wasnt very safe we used stuff that people fly tipped in a carpark near by it was good but it became a lost cause due to location and everybody ruining them the forest people didnt even mind because we cleaned our rubbish up and we re used old stuff to make jumps i dont just dont have the enthusiasm that i had back then it was back in 2007 and it was when we didnt care what bike we rode i had a cheap old bike then upgraded to diamondback beta dirt times change though im more into street now cant ride dirt nomore

The dirt jumps in my town are next to a playground and have very few people who maintain them. It isn't uncommon to show up the next day for a ride to find our tarps taken down and made into forts on the playground , toys and sticks all over the jumps as well as destroyed dirt from kids climbing on them
