So you’re a Newb – that is great – everyone was a newb at some stage and the thing you will find about your new brothers and sisters in the Downhill family is that they all love to help and teach. You see they remember when they sat 20 metres back from their first jump trying to get the courage to hit it. Soooooo … don’t ever feel the need to say you can do something when you can’t or make up an excuse not to drop off the edge of a cliff – just say “Naahh I know my limitations (as you will soon realise , limitations change daily ) “ NO ONE WILL CARE !!!
But when you are dropping off cliffs and railing the top inch of a berm and you see a Newb doing Newb stuff – remember how you used to be. Make it easy for them – the fact that they are on a downhill bike says they have more guts than most people!!
So NEWBS this page is a gift for you – it will help you learn how it works , who makes it work and even learn about how to hold your mouth when you are riding backwards down Mt Kilamanjaro.
