Pinkbike Poll: Who Taught You How To Mountain Bike?
Got my first MTB back in 198f*cking&!
There were ZERO MTB coaches then lol!
But still riding at 50, and going faster than ever. Partly from the amazing bikes and partially from all the years of learning. I love taking a lesson here and there to really get focused.
