Mountain biking is a great way to explore the outdoors, stay in shape, or just have fun. It's fun to race down the side of a mountain but it's also dangerous. The entire family can enjoy it as long as you ride with caution.

What are the styles of mountain biking? Mountain biking can best be characterized into three different styles - downhill, free riding, and cross country. In some ways, these styles are similar but different skills are still required. Determining the type of bike you'll get is the style you pick.

Where to go if you want to ride The sport can best be thought of as biking on an unpaved surface. Throughout North America, there are locations specifically designed for mountain biking. Before going down a trail, don't forget to ask the local park for rules, regulations, and routes.

Also, you can find competitions and groups that have mountain bike rides. You can look on the internet or even in a local paper and see exactly what's available in your area. You may be able to find groups for the more advanced riders as well as beginners.

To be a great biker To become a great mountain biker, endurance and stamina are important. If you want to succeed, you need ambition, practice, and conquer the course. Time and practice is essential here as it is in other sports. Those just beginning will have to get past the bumps and bruises from falling off the bike.

How to choose your mountain bike The bike you select is more of a personal choice, and a big determining factor on the type of riding you will be doing. There are different bike sizes, styles, shapes, and prices which means it's hard to select one for yourself.

You should use the internet to help you shop for a bike, even do some price comparisons online as well before you make a purchase. Before you buy a bike, always ask to try it out first. Becoming one with his own bike is what a great mountain biker will do. When buying, make sure you check for comfort, how it fits, even how it is geared.

Safety riding tips As mentioned earlier, riding on an unpaved surface is dangerous. That's why you should wear a helmet, knee and elbow pad whenever you ride. Goggles should be worn when you're following a group or riding in the woods. Safety should be your top priority and never taken lightly anytime you are mountain biking.
