The risk is much more in other drivers than yourself unless you're doing purposely dangerous shit beyond your abilities.
only need to learn young if u wanna make a career out of bmx, u can just have fun on the bike and ride within ur limits, only do stuff ur comfortable trying, u can get a bmx bike with front and rear brakes and play around with flatland stuff, its relatively safe and low risk, u might get small bruises n scrapes but itd be hard to get a life altering injury or smthn of that level unless ur doing shit u got no business doing, give it a shot man youll love it! if u enjoyed the journey in toribash to get better bmx is very similar in the skill curve
