What's up from New York!!
 

So I've began taking an interest in biking and I came across this website so I thought I could use the insight of people who are more experienced than me.
My mom said I can get a new biike since the one I have right now is going on five years old. I mostly ride on road but I want to start finding local trails and do more mountain biking.

Welcome to Bike Forums.
Visit a local bike shop and see which bike talks to you.
What bike do you have?

It's a Mongoose mountain bike. I'm not sure what it was exactly I got it years ago.
