How to get started with DH(2 posts)

How to get started with DHLighty

...besides getting a downhill bike.

Do I need all that body armor and full face helmet right away? even for beginner trails? Can I get away with riding a trail bike on the beginner trails? Also, where should I go if I am in Northern California. I heard North Star Tahoe is good when they are open during the summer.

get a full face and save your teeth ($50.00 Jensonusa.com). Knee/shin guards are really good start too(40 to 80 bucks). Ride your trail bike till you start feeling the limitations of your bike-you build up many skills this way.

Really important-Ride with people who are better than you.

good luck !!!
