Description
This is the one-and-only women-specific instructional mountain biking video. Learn four keys to beginning and continuing to mountain bike: -Select the bike that's right for you
-Find the right people to ride with
-Practice drills off the trail
-Have fun! This is an excellent video for beginners. Sue Haywood, Trek/VW pro cyclist, provides step-by-step instruction in a clinic setting. On-the-trail riders apply demonstrated skills and provide inspiration as they tell their stories of overcoming challenges such as logs and clipless pedals. Skills include body position, ascending and descending, clearing obstacles, cornering, and slow speed riding. Additional segments include bike selection and fit, basic bike care, fitness and safety.

 A great introduction to mountain biking November 10, 2003
Greg Pryor (Washington, DC United States)
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Although my own biking has been limited to road riding...I found this introduction to mountain biking interesting, informative...and even inspiring. The video makes mountain biking far more accessible to the average weekend warrior than I had imagined...it does not necessarily have to be the "extreme sport" I envisioned. The segments on technique, bike selection and bike maintenance are all helpful and encouraging. The producers have an affection for this sport and although the video is clearly directed toward women it will serve as an excellent introduction to anyone. The overall sense is that mountain biking is not only a healthy outdoor activity but a lot of fun as well.

A great way to get excited about mountain biking. Easy to learn tips for the beginner, female or male, from world class mountain biker, Sue Haywood. Will help you conquer your fear of riding off road. Laid back friendly feel of the participants lends a unique perspective not usually seen in training videos. Definitely worthwile for the novice off-road rider!
Great place to start December 7, 2007
R. Ballantyne (Chicago)
I bought this for my girlfriend as she was beginning to mtn bike and we both really like it. She feels more confident now and practices the drills shown in the movie. We will be watching it again before the next season starts.
Good introduction for men or women November 30, 2007
J. Silva (Los Angeles,CA)
Although targetd for women, this makes a good introduction to the sport for anyone. The producer and women in the video are obviously passionate about the sport. Lots of drills and techniques that anyone can take advantage of.
Another related video to check out is Performance Mountain Biking and Zinn and the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance.
I mainly commute with my mountain bike and often use Down Low Glow Lighting Kit - Two Tubes -Ice(blue). It is rugged enough to take mountain biking on night rides too.
