While out riding this past weekend, I came across a rather tricky bit of off-camber, rocky/rooty descent. After cleaning it with no problems, I got to thinking about how much trouble I used to have with stuff like that, and thought "if only I knew then, what I know now;" it wasn't until I figured out how to smartly use my brakes and the beauty of proper body positioning that I was able to start enjoying the challenge of that type of trail.
I got some peeps at work riding with me occasionally and it's the first time off-road for many of them. They're definitely hooked, but I find myself maybe offering too much advice. So, with "if only I knew then..." in mind, what's the one piece of riding advice you wish someone had told you when you were first starting out?
