Beginner Here! Any Advice Appreciated
Hi everyone! I've always wanted to buy a bike and ride the trails. FInally shelled out the cash and bought a Kona Manomano. I'm gonna start with a "beginners" trail nearby.
Just wanted to say Hi and maybe get some tips from more experienced riders that can help me avoid some beginners pitfalls. Thanks!

Good luck to you, Angel! Just keep riding. It's amazing how good you get by simple riding, riding, riding. And don't be afraid to challenge yourself.

Welcome to the sport. Its great fun and a great sport. (Besides you can do all sorts of crazy stuff like dropping 6 foot cliffs and so on). As for your bike. I dont think it can get better. KONA RULES. Remember that!
