Hello all!
Just joined the site so, HELLO! I have been doing MTN biking for years, more just trail riding than anything. A friend of my suggested DH, and after renting a DH bike, fell in love. But, I have questions and can't see to find a good resource which answers all my rookie questions..So any help is appreciated..
(1) Is there a good resource out there to fill me in on the tech side of DH riding? I go through the posts and 90% of the time have no idea what anyone is talking about!!!
(2) Can I outfit my current mountain bike (Scott Contessa 50) to at least start me into DH or is it crutial to go out and buy another bike?
(3) Aside from posting on the forums, is there any way to find groups to bike with...esp ones that don't mind a rookie with alot of questions?
(4) Are those weekend warrior lessons worth it? I've seen a few classes advertised, but they are rather expensive. WIll I learn just as much through trial and error?
I have like a million more questions....don't really know anyone around here who owns a bike, let alone DH bike.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU in advance to anyone who answers any of my questions which I am sure have been asked a millllllllion times.
