I'm 39 started riding mtb a year ago.. I had to say I'm way more good than I was last year. I think riding atleast once a week helps develop confidence.

I'm 63. Been riding almost 30 years and go to gym and swimming to help keep fitness up . I do some weights, cardio and stretching which helps a lot. Best thing I did was retire early so I can do a lot more for myself. Worst thing about me is my balance sucks, so I am working on that at gym and on the bike.

[GabeC]

Coming back from nasty health problems and weight gain, I finally got to the point I could ride again a few months ago. Luckily, I have the freedom to ride 4-5 days a week and it's so nice to feel and see the progress in strength, skill and confidence. 👍 Big thanks to GMBN and GMBNTech for being a huge part of my pit crew.

Old bmx and dirt jumper when I was 13. Found my love of all things bike last year at 35...
I made the most progress doing the disciolines I once made fun of haha. Raced my first XC race two weekends ago, and it is adding to my endurance on the track. Crazy how every other skill helps build all around bike badassedness. And I found out I love the spandex. Makes ya feel fast 🤣

[graeme]

I really love how genuine and honest the gmbn team are. I’ve learnt so much from them. Thanks!

[bikecaveyt]

Got my first full suspension bike, time to learn how to get the most of it!

[speedlive]

All of these tips help me thrive at sixty-five!

[inraviratious]

Thank you. Been injured around six months and haven't been riding. Been pounding in Skills videos to get the ideas down. Now all I need to do is heal

[unkle-user]

I'm 40, I bought my first fs bike 2 years ago, my dream come true. More I ride, more I progress. Never to late for a nice ride🤘

"Local skateparks, local DH trails, local pump tracks"

Haha I wish

[JimmyJamesonJnr]

I've found plain regular walking the best for my riding fitness, once I hit 10km a day, which during winter is difficult.

[_wheeltherapy]

All great points, dialing in the bike has a bit of a learning curve but pays huge dividends.

[thevapingpolisher]

All we have in my area is cross trails but it’s all good . The mountain trails are 12 hours away 🤦‍♂️Lol just getting out to ride is all I care about can’t wait till it warms up do I can get out again.

[-LetsHaveItRight-]

I've now got the gear and no idea 🤣 I'm near dorking ..on the surrey hills so spoilt for choice.

[chimpsgimps]

Looking for little opportunities in apparently boring trails. Try and find a compression or a rock to make something of can make riding much more fun.

[radiocontrolled]

I wish I had a back garden where to practice!!

[jimbo]

Anytime behind the bars is well spent ! The more you ride the better you get

[sbbeowulf]

Ive been riding for almost 3 years on and off and I’d say I’ve improved a lot but this year I’m really gonna push it get into some racing and see what I can do I did have some background in Motocross so I had a good basis

[JGBerserkR]
