Of course start by doing a lot of trial riding. For a newbie especially, nothing is better than a lot of saddle time on the trails. If you can’t get to a trail as often as you like just ride anywhere.
next search on-line or ask a few bike shops about racing in your area. Here in MI, MMBA (MI MTB Bike Association) runs the sanctioned races. Tail Wind holds sanctioned and non sanctioned races. Once you know who to talk to you can get schedules of races.
Half the races are on moderate trails usually. The races are categorized – Newbie or beginner races are what you want to do. You’ll race with novice riders and the races are shorter than the higher level races. Have fun with it.
go to walmart and buy a cheap bike.
then ride it at a local trail to see how you like it.
if you are doing anything besides riding trails such as a drop, make sure that you KNOW what you are doing so you wont get hurt.
if its really fun…get a better bike.
im sponsored by giant and they give me free bikes so i know what to do. First go to the site that you want to get sponsored by and send them a video of you going down a fairly hard mountain bike trail. Wait for there response …then they will give you all the information on money and free things and all that and then you have the right to sign up for competitive mtb racing.
Dudes, if you don’t know the answer move on to the next question.
That MR dude is the only one that makes any sense. The others are high on somethin’ other than life.
