Unfortunately, street riding has lots of dangers that you won't be concerned with in dirt. Manhole covers are slippery, painted stripes are slippery, road turtles are slippery, dirt on pavement is slippery, drivers will brake quickly, drivers will veer into your lane, drivers will pull out in front of you, etc.
I started in dirt too, and still crashed twice. Fortunately, neither were too bad.
