Here's Kiwidino (retired blipper). We did our mountain bike course yesterday so naturally we hit the hills this morning, on our demo bikes.

It was raining, the tracks were super slippery, and at times it was incredibly challenging coming to grips with new techniques and new bikes. I had my worst fall in ages.

However, most of the Port Hills single track was amazing! Spots I used to have trouble in, I literally cruised through. It was SO exhilarating!

We probably won't buy these bikes, they are a little out of our budget, although they were awesome. But we?ve got eyes on some others. Yes, another bike shop visit today.

So how well is KD doing here? Not bad actually.

1. Arms are wide
2. Bum out, with body down and the back flat - so the weight is centred over the pedals. Weight neither forward not back
3. Head up (looking for trouble)
4. And "light hands" by the looks of it.

Possibly the only thing is feet cantered back slightly more to help brace against all that forward pressure.
