Hi, I mainly cycle in parks or on roads to commute to work or recreational riding, new to mountain bike trails. After reading pointers on the internet, decided to just go ahead and try it today. The bike park I went to had 3 levels of difficulty - "blue square", "black diamond" and "double black diamond". Below vid is my first attempt at the easiest blue square trail.
Did the blue trail 3 times, and starting to get better at it. But the black trail is totally out of my skill/fitness level, gave up after 5 minutes. Any tips on how to get better? The jump from blue to black in terms of difficulty is really big, not sure if I'll ever be able to do it.
Also, does 27.5" or 29" make a significant difference? The bike in the video is a 27.5" I rented.
Oh, and for the forum safety police, yes I was wearing a helmet
