hey all i been biking (properly) for about 3 - 4 weeks and i have tried everything (street, dirt, vert, flatland the lot of it) but it wasnt until today that i tried mountain bikeing and now i absolutley love it ! :D
i started off with a roughly smooth but dam steep long bit off grass and went down that for a while
then i moved on to down a steep hill in the woods with rocks andcrap on the ground and it was dam sdcary but very fun
then i tried this reallly long really steep rock path all was going well untill about halfway down i hit this rock that was a bit bigger than the rest but i hadnt seen it and so i wasnt expecting it and it jolted me real bad, my feet came off the pedels and so (natural human reaction i spose) i slamed on the back brakes.
normally this would have been fine but the new bike i got the tyres had hardly any grip on them at all so the bike slid round from under me and i went flying :(
i got gashed up pretty bad but it was all round fun and now i am sticking with mountain bikeing (and gettin some new tyres !! :mad: )
dont ask why i said all of this it was just my way of saying hi to every 1 hear.
