Must Watch/Do: 10 Things Every Mountain Biker Should Have Done

Been there, done that.

10 out of 10, if taking the bike to the Hotel room in order to prevent theft counts as “sleeping next to your bike”, at least…

An easier list for some than others. I feel fortunate to have done them all. I’d take “visit a bike park” off of the list. Replace it with “build a trail.”

They missed one:

Do trail work

we are missing: teaching someone to ride a mtb in a tech singletrack, am I right?
9/10 living in a tropical country does not help to ride in the snow, replace that task.

Ok, so that’s a decent list of what most determined mountain bikers have already done. But I agree with the commenters, how about the next 10 we all need to do. My first shot at it is:
– build a trail and name it
– take a friend on their first ride in the dirt
– teach a kid to mountain bike
– ride with the person who made your frame
– ride into another country
– film a ride and make a watchable video of it
– cheer for everyone from the juniors to the pros at a race
– ride with someone who rides for a living
– get an article you wrote or a photo you took published in a bike mag
– host and organize a race

Maybe we can come together and make the next video!

Cory you are spot on. Based on where you live you may have done these all by default not thinking it was all that challenging to do
