This sport didn't really click for me. I think I'm just not coordinated enough for it. No sport has left me bruised and bloody and just mentally broken like mountain biking has. I also didn't really enjoy the experience of having to sit on an extremely bumpy bike for hours on end. To each their own, though - I am jealous that folks get to enjoy a sport that takes them deep into the beauty of nature.

Not nearly as dangerous as in real mountains I presume.

- uejfiweun 3y agoI imagine that would be a little better. Last time I went mountain biking was in Sedona, AZ - extremely stressful. You're biking up narrow mountain passes, and if you fall, decent chance you fall directly onto a cactus. I'm a clumsy guy, and I prefer for the consequences for my clumsiness to be like spillage, not impalement.
