This is my first post about whatever I want to post about and I chose mountain biking, which is one of the greatest sports ever invented. What’s not to like? The adrenaline rush, the difficult climb to the top, and the concentration to overcome obstacles. In this section of my blog, you will learn why mountain biking is one of my favourite activities.
What even is mountain biking?
Mountain biking is a sport where you try to go down a steep traverse, hill, or mountain and there are different features that you can hit, such as jumps, berms, drops, gaps, tabletops, wooden skinny’s, rock gardens, and so much more! You can go up hills and climb, you can traverse steep rocky cliffs, or you can travel cross country and discover new destinations and fascinating places.
Ok, so who does mountain biking?
One of my favourite mountain bikers is named Jackson Goldstone, he is one of the people I look up to and he is also a very inspirational person.
I try to copy his riding style to my greatest ability, but that isn’t always easy. Mountain biking is extremely popular on the north shore of Vancouver. It is done almost worldwide and it was made popular in the 1980s in the United States.
Why do you even enjoy mountain biking?
One of the things I like most about mountain biking is riding with friends while challenging yourself go constantly improve and get better. Mountain biking is a sport where you try to compete with yourself rather against other people.
I can be found riding my bike mostly on Mt Seymour, but I occasionally ride on Fromme and in the summer, Whistler, Squamish, and Cumberland. My favourite trail is John Deere, because you can go down it with a lot of speed without worrying about getting sketchy on a jump or drop. Every time I ride it, I find a new line and I try to challenge myself to do something harder each time.
The struggles of mountain biking:
The hardest part about mountain biking is trying something for the first time. This is because everything looks harder the first time you do it. But you have to overcome your fears of doing that hard feature and just send it!
Conclusion:
If you are interested in trying mountain biking, you should definitely consider giving it a try because it is a great way to get outside and to meet new people!
