Unlike many who learned to ride in the dirt, I learned on the street. My off road skills are lacking to say the least. But I have been a mountain biker for years and hopefully will learn fast, I'm practicing! BTW I love this bike!!
I had never really been on a dirtbike either but I feel the years I had mt biking really helped......especially with picking lines and moving your body weight around on hills and stuff.
Sooooooooooooo... Where is Bethlehem,NM..........You got my attention regarding the Mountain bike..... We have some awesome trails here in NM right....... Congrats on your new ride...... On this one.... you don't scoot your hiney behind the seat....lock your jaw.......and hold on to the bars on the DH...whilst closing your eyes....and pray for the best..... Gonna be fun.... Erling
