Mountain Biking is something that I have always wanted to do, and this week I FINALLY pulled the trigger and scheduled a lesson. It was very nerve racking, but I had an absolute BLAST!
Mt. Hood Skibowl has mountain bike lessons that you can take to learn, brush up on some skills and do drills that will help your body positioning and how to master the basics. During the lesson we started out in the parking lot learning everything about the bike, how to position your body on the bike and what to expect when you're on a trail. As you grow, learn and get better throughout the lesson you move on to a few mock trails right at the base of Skibowl! The instructors were amazing and always made sure I knew what to expect as I was going through these drills. Eventually I was able to start going over some obstacles, rocks and small jumps. After the lesson I felt super accomplished and hungry for more! I can't wait to get back out there again and challenge myself.
