Hey guys/girls
im entirley new to the sport, ive done all of the typical childhood riding a boy does, and maybe a little bit more jumping, but now im 16 and just gave up football for irrelevant reasons. With the extra time this has given me, id love to get into biking on a semi0serious level, i miss adrenaline rushes and i think this will be a great way to get some while helping stay in good shape. . .
so to the questions. . .
my bike, mongoose inferno (stock) http://bluecollarmtb.com/2004/12/19/2002-mongoose-inferno/
my rims are already out of true, so those need to be replaced,
i was looking for ideas on new rims and other reasonable upgrades that will make getting into this a safer, but more fun experience
also, im having a hard time finding trails to ride, i live in rochester ny, and the only place i ever rode was a rather nice personal dirtbike course that is now unavailable. . .id love to find some decent places to ride
any other advice??
thanks
