Bern, sali ka sa "Fast din Kami" this july 17, 2005. sa San Mateo (maarat), Rizal. it will be fun. for Beginners and Novice riders ang race kaya madali lang at ito ay para sa lahat dahil dehins masyado mahirap ang course.

yes you can, for entry level dh it will work..... but DH is a suspension dependent sport, the only way to truly enjoy it is to go full suspension ..... dnt worry there are good DH bikes for entry level riders........ theyr a lot cheaper than full DH Racing rigs!

anytime as long as you've got the complete equipment and safety gear, and always ride witha group.... it sucks to die alone in the jungle... heheh
ok i'll just share how the first dh rides would feel...... its just like going to a strip joint after getting married, everything is so scary but exciting......
If your just starting dont be afraid to go with the faster riders, riding with experienced riders kinda speeds up the learning proccess as it gives you the chance to feed-off these pros.... and everything is easier if its explained on how its done and by practice...
i remember when we were all just starting we did the same thing,, we fed-off the other faster foreign riders and other homegrown talents... then practiced.... by the time you realize it... your reading and making your own lines, ripping sections at anti-noobie speeds, and a lot more.......
DH riding is very dependent on the individual's enthusiasm to fuel his drive to keep riding, everytime you break a boundary of what you thought was not possible on a mt bike, it fuels you to give more answers to your questions of " can i do that?".
DH riding is not just riding steep sections and all that , it is a never ending quest to perfect one's flow at insane speeds on the most non-biker friendly terrain. it aint just another cycling sport... and as proven it gives the highest adrenaline rush of all mtb genres...
It aint just a sport, its a lifestyle. i mean riding mainstream mtbiking is fun and healthy but one thing the other fields dont have is the ability of a sport to enhance individuality and build distinctive characteristics for the rider.
Since FEAR is such a big issue in DH, fear is subsequently conquerable... phobias are just long term questions that have been unanswered in your mind that got imbeded incorrectly... hehe..... nothing is permanent not even fear, cuz fear is just a bigger brother of curiosity... but its not big enough to hold you from learning how to get over it.
