I'd recommend avoiding dirt jumps as you approach your 40s. I built a jump bike, fell off every second time and spent most of my time with areas of me bleeding till I split it for parts. That was 18 months ago, but I haven't learnt. Visiting friends in Sheffield yesterday we took the kids to Parklands trails and I crashed his BMX on the pump track doubling some rollers...much blood and a sore wrist...too old for this shit.
