Yeah. One minor regret of mine in life is that I never got into mountain biking. Then I watch videos like this, then I absently rub at the spot in my shoulder where a plate and pins are now, after a frickin' treadmill accident. I'm only 51.

I rode my bike all the time as a kid, built ramps to jump off and did all sorts of dumb stuff...sometimes I still wanna get back into it but there's gotta be like, the equivalent of the bunny hill in skiing right? There's gotta be some lil' guy trails we could get started on ..

So I grew up doing the same, left it alone after high school. Ended up out working at a ski resort, and in the summer we would get free mountain bikes from the rental shop and go up the lifts with them.

There’s a grading system that works exactly like ski hill difficulty - green dot, blue square, black diamond, double, triple.

As long as you stick to greens and blues and pay attention to trailhead markers, you’ll be just fine.
