So i do a fair amount of XC (and road cycling, for that matter), but i realized my favorite part is going downhill, taking drops, obstacles, etc. I really wanna try DH, but Im not just gonna drop a grand on a used bike and show up alone at a park.
I'm wondering if theres anyone who'd wanna try this out with me, or anyone who'd wanna hang out and show me the ropes one day (i'm located in NYC). I guess i'd just rent at diablo, i was looking at maybe doing the lift, rental, lesson package at diablo cuz i think its the cheapest option. Just kinda thinking out loud, hit me up with anything really.
also, if its just my first time, i obviously wouldnt be taking the biggest drops and stuff, could i get away with my xc hardtail for day 1? (heres my bike, with a few small changes:
