[QUOTE="FudgemsBox, post: 1660260, member: 569781"] I just joined my schools MTB team. We had our first practice today, and i was the slowest. I have never done cross country mtb before. Also the bike i have is alright, not suspension in the front. the biggest problem i had was going up hill. it was a a 5 min climb, but i was so slow and behind, i even had to walk the bike up a little bit. Is the best way to practice going up hill, by just practicing going up hill non stop? or is there some other ways too. I want to stick with this, and i want to keep up with those on my team. also, going down hill, i was way behind everyone. since i do not have suspension in the front, it was real REAL! bumpy. Also, i didn't feel so much control going down. so i went slower than the rest. any tips for going down fast? should i just bomb it? or is there a good technique? i do not have any suspension, any tips for Cross country racing without suspension? also, when i ride on the road, my MTB feels real sLOW!. i no its the rider as well, but on my dads bike, i feel like a i go faster on his. on my MTB it seems like the tire is a little out of air. any tips? Thanks [/QUOTE]
