I'm sorry if this thread/topic has already been addressed but, do we have any mountain bikers here?
I BMX and I've always had an interest in Mountain Biking and I've done it a few times. That being said, lately, I have gone to our local MTB trails down the road from me and I am really starting to get hooked. They aren't too hard and there are some nice technical sections and some areas that flow really well.
Here's our local MTB trails... (a little over 4mi. from start to finish and this video isn't the entire length)
As for the bike I'm riding right now, I do not have a mountain bike but instead, I use my Fit Park Pro BMX bike. It's obviously not the best for trails because it's a park bike... Since I recently found a job, I am currently saving up for this...
It's the Trek 3900 Disc and it costs around $530.00 USD. This particular one above is a special edition and costs a whopping $10 more. :p Now, as much as I'd love to have a dual suspension 20" travel downhill mountain bike, I just don't have the money for that. Since I have not bought this bike yet, if you have any suggestions for a bike around the same price range as this one, go ahead and say so. (given that you have some experience)
Since your probably bored of my horrible story telling and my poor paragraph structure, I'll just end it with that. If you like mountain biking, reply and tell me a little more about it and feel free to make any suggestions. :thumbsup:
