How to make a Pond Bike?
ok im 13 and ive been wanting to backflip and 360 my BMX bike I learned trying them off a 4ft dirt ramp with no experiance is kind of Painful I looked into foam pits and those cost a fortune my dad is building a pond to water our MX track and to swim in. If i can build a downhill ramp with a lip at the end into the pond how can i prepare my BMX bike to be able to handle going into the water without the frame filling up with water or rusting and stuff like that. It is a Mirra 540 air so it is a nice bike and I don't wanna trash it but i need a way to do sweet tricks without the whole broken bones thing...another thing to prepare my bike is if i lose the bike in the water is there a way to find it the pond is 12ft deep......so do i need a 13ft thing of string with a bouy on the end of it to tie to the bike?
Go.....buy.....a.......cheap....bmx......bike.
You *will* ruin your nice bike pond jumping. Trust me. If you don't care about your bearings or rusting your frame and other parts, then ok. But there is no way to keep your bike in good shape when you submerge it in dirty water (or clean water, for that matter). Try to pick up a beater bike from a garage sale or craigslist maybe. Around here you can get them for $10 to $20 and have a hundred to pick from.
I can tell you from experience that trying to drag up a 25lb bike from 8' of water is a real hassle. lol. I'm not sure how people do it other than just diving down and fighting back up with it (that's what I had to do). I don't think a string would be a good idea because it would get tangled up too easily. Hopefully just on the bike and not on you and the bike together. Maybe you can rig up a buoy like you said...something attached to the bike like a throw-bag so that it'll all be coiled up while you flip and spin but where the float can come loose easily when the bike goes under.
Have fun...smart thinking to go with the water jumps. Broken bones do suck.

Am i able to become a BMX pro?
I am 23 and hoping to become sponsored in the future for BMX and hopefully go pro.
I have been riding since i was 15 and I am pretty good at dirt jump tricks like Tail whips, bar spins, superman, backflip, 360's etc.
Do any of you think it is possible I can go pro at this point because I know people like Matt Hoffman went pro when they were 15 and I am not sure at 23 if I would be able to go pro since they usually want people younger that can do that stuff most likely.
so what do you guys think?
Sponsors look for talent, but if you worry about that, then your performance will most likely drop. If you concentrate on having fun, keep learning the latest tricks, as well as work on a few of your own, you will be just fine. Have fun, keep a positive attitude, try not to show any anger, and you might just get a few curious scouts/coaches. You are not too old, as long as you don't feel too old. McCoy is in his 40's. Good Luck.
