How to develop skills as a beginner mountain biker

[TigerMom]

As usual, I totally agree with Irulan.

In California, there are a lot of free clinics for Beginners.

I think for women, than gaining confidence on easy fun trails leads them to liking mountain biking and then wanting to improve. Although your husband is nice to help you out, I think that people who lead rides specifically for beginners will help you feel less frustrated because women feel like they are slowing down other people when you are biking with people who are a lot better than you are.

Best of luck!

What she said. In addition, if he's a self taught biker with only two years experience, I wouldn't count on him to understand the actual skill set. He may have figured some things out that work ok, but whether they are the correct techniques is up for dicussion.

I appreciate every tips that are posted. That's helpful enough. I would like to get better in mountain biking too. Maybe, I need more focus as a beginner.
