I had great tires when i wrecked and i am telling u it hadn't rained for like 6-7 day's so it was very dry just cold and i still ate it takin my time.And i am pretty decent in the mtn's for a 4yr rider.


I no ant getting his 1st bike this yr is very fun and all but i was just warning him to take it easy in the mtn's considering he has never rode a bike in the winter yet thats all.I just don't want him to get those permanent injuries like myself.
nope, but I also have a pretty good idea of what I am doing and know when to push and when not to. it also doesnt take crashing to find out when and where the grip is. really not trying to say Im a badass or anything, just have decent mileage in the mtns in all seasons.
just because its his first winter doesnt mean he will wreck. I did the same thing, started riding in the winter. no problems. it all depends on how smart he is, but I understand you looking out. it happens all too often. just gotta be smooth with everything. ive been up there draggin knees with snow on the side of the road so just because its cold doesnt mean you cant go ride.
