This is a beginners bike…right?
Welcome back to N8 Second Ride. No matter where you’re at as a rider, this video is for you and your buddies. This is a list of my Top 8 tips of trial by fire mountain biking lessons I’ve learned from over 15 years of riding. These tips and tricks cover maintenance, technique, and trail etiquette that’ll help you get set up faster, ride safer with less rough days, and simply have wayyy more fun than the next guy or gal. While yes these are the ones I chose for this list, they are not the only lessons to be learned or things to look out for. Thats where you all come in. Leave a comment about what I missed and what you’ve learned from your experiences. If I get enough good ones, I’ll put together another video about them. Oh I also got a new bike… more about that soon.
