Top 5 Mountain Biking Tips for Girls
Presentation ByDanny waters
Don’t show off
These are the words that my husband sends me out the door with when I go out to ride with friends. What he’s trying to say (I think) is “Don’t do anything stupid.” Basically I remind myself of these words of wisdom when contemplating taking something at a higher speed or doing a bigger drop then I have business doing
9 Out of 10 times it’s the pilot not the plane
Okay, so the one time it’s the plane is for the people who are already so rad on the bike that they could ride a big wheel and still out climb and out descend me. But for all the other times, I really believe it. Get a good enough bike or a nice bike but don’t get caught up in having the best, the brightest or the lightest
Crashing often doesn’t mean you have bigger
I used to think I was pretty tough because I crashed a lot. I liken it to thinking I was a great driver when I was 15. Practice, hard work and training may not make you perfect but it will make you a better rider. - See more
Treat your bike like you want to be treated
Who doesn’t like to be washed and lubed weekly? I know I do. Your bike needs to be washed and checked over (for loose wheels, bent derailleurs, stretched cables, etc.) weekly. Some might say after every ride but I’d bet that person doesn’t have dishes to do, kids to feed and a dog to walk
Know when to hold em and when to fold em.
Kenny Rogers knew what he was talking about. I’m talking about knowing when to let it ride and when to walk your bike. Knowing how to leave your ego at the trailhead. Knowing when you are out of your element. It can be hard to walk something you’ve done before or to take a tight switchback slower than you are used to
