Fair play. A bit of company really helps when your learning though, it can get quite repetitive and frustrating. As all you need is some flat ground you might get some helpful tips of how to bunnyhop, etc if you head to one of the polo nights and have a play around before/after they've played polo.
On the topic of second hand bikes make sure you look for something flatland based as the geometry is quite different to a normal bmx (steep angles and short wheelbase) and you'll probably end up with a freecoaster. This will help when you start learning more complicated tricks.
