Mountain biking involves riding over different types of surfaces with roots, rocks, and trail obstacles. As a mountain biker, you can choose to have your own adventure, but this requires knowledge of safety tips and sufficient practice to get to your desired skill level. For starters, you shouldn’t be afraid to fall as it's part of learning how to ride a mountain bike. Falling is normal as it means you’re pushing yourself to learn new skills as well as trying new terrains and obstacles. Invest in a good helmet, gloves, and eye protection to remain safe.
Keeping your body flexible, especially your knees, shoulders, and arms, makes it easier for you to handle your bike easily and help you have smoother rides when going downhill and over obstacles. For instance, you should flex your elbows and shoulders by lowering your chest towards the handlebars to lower your center of gravity and make steering easier. Additionally, learn how to track stand, which helps to boost your confidence and ultimately improve your mountain biking abilities. A track stand is when you remain in an upright position when your mountain bike has stopped. It can balance on your bike without toppling over or having to put your foot down.
