Mountain biking for beginners, what you need to buy. Cannondale Trail Sl 29er
Let me start of by saying I am not a professional. I just wanted to put together a quick video showing what I purchased along with my new bike. Some of the added costs so a new biker could budget it in if need be. Hopefully this will help out. I also hope you fall in love with the sport as I have, I wish I started years ago.

bright neon tshirt. for traffic and bears, and cougars.
Buen video
I disagree with the backpack as I think there cumbersome and hinder your ability to ride but that’s just my opinion and I guess it’s personal opinion
Im ur 1000 subscriber
Got a pair of mechanics gloves from harbor freight for 5 bucks.they work great! Save the money!
Bad advise on the clippless peddles. Need to get your skills up before you clip in. Bunny hoping and other skills needs to be learnt the right way.
Brain! Do not forget a brain
I feel like a lot of us mountain bikers come on these videos to just disagree with joeys xD
Went on my first ride for probably ten years. 3-4 hours of both trails and road. I didn’t wear gloves. I wish I wore gloves.
I’m your 1000th sub
Just what I needed cheers
You should make a video of what’s in your pack
Thanks for the video. Hoping to get into it all this spring!
Where is your kneebads
About to enter the world of off-road biking.Thanks for the info>
I gotta question, u said u went bought safety glasses to keep bugs from hitting u in the face, well i wear perscription glasses. So what do i do about that? By the way, i bought my first mountain bike last year, its a marlin 7 by Trek.
I feel everyone overestimates what you need to get into mountain biking
Bike
Pump
Helmet
(Optional)small backpack to hold phone, bottle ext.
Where did you get the gloves. They match my bike color
Why when you ride with clips its called clipless? Still to this day it confuses me
Thank, helpful video:)
Thanks for the info! My new canondale is arriving this week! ☺️ I’m going to try to keep the gear to a minimum since it’s already hot in AL and I’m very heat sensitive. But I think I’ll take your suggestion about the shin guards.
I would get knee pads more than shin guards and you need to drop kick who ever told u to get the clip less pedals

Also I don’t mean to be adversely opinionated about hillbillies because I definitely am 1I just wouldn’t always trust my opinion as a hillbilly when it comes to safety haha
Nice Vid!
Great info, I’m new to this. All this info was helpful.
Flats are much better for beginners and pros, flats for life!
Ok buddy cliples pedals don’t have a clip cliples pedals have no clip
4:53 I get it happens to everyone at some point but if you get a decent pair of flat pedals with good screws for grip you don’t often get it to be honest.

Until you fall off
Don’t use clips if your still a beginner or plan to learn tricks
Good vid man.
Great video! Wish I seen this years ago lol
Great video super helpful getting my new mtb bike in two days not had one since I was 10 so 7 years ago 😂
TrailForks app so you don’t get lost.
Awesome informative video. Just bought my first real mountain bike. 2015 Devinci Spartan!
Dont wear shin guards wheres the fun in that?
Thank you for your video I am just Thinking about getting into mountain biking again. I took it up about 20 years ago I purchased a bike and some equipment And I went on a few rides Then shortly after that my wife Informed me she was pregnant. An unexpected pregnancy took Up most of my free time for quite some time after that. Anyway I still have my original bike which is still in almost perfect condition It is a little outdated which doesn’t bother me but the fact it has regular Pole breaks in not disgrace concerns me in a wonder if you think that is a real serious issue. I think there are probably other people I could ask in other Web pages I could go on but your honesty and sincerity Made me want to ask you and I feel I would have more respect for your opinion Then some other whiskey driven hillbilly opinion. Thanks again I look forward to more videos And hopefully your opinion on the brakes Sincerely Steven Rogers
fuck bitches love to babble before they get on with it.
I didn’t see any tools or a repair kit…
Those shin guards fuck8ng save you when you crash. My opinion you should get another pair of shin or knee pads after they wear out. Good video tho
I am huge on safety so would a full face helmet with goggles be better then a regular helmet
How did this guy forget the kickstand? Every beginner rider needs one.
I haven’t rode a bike for probably around 8 years or so and am interesting in getting into MTB, any beginner tips like how/where to buy equipment, recommended bike, gloves, helmet, bike sizing etc. Would be greatly appreciated!
I never thought about first aid kit i the backpack. Thanks man.
Ok I’ve been biking for years giant jumps and everything. I never bought shin guards 😂 they’re a total waste of money and if you slip your foot and you get cut deal with it and save the flippen money. In my opinion all beginners should use platform pedals so if you fall you can put your foot out fast without having to shift your foot around.

If you are new to mountain biking 1 you do not need pads really unless you’re doing downhill at a park and 2 DO NOT GET CLIP PEDALS when you are a beginner it will develop really bad habits and you won’t be able to learn skills like bunny hopping right with clips and unless you are great at balancing then you WILL fall over several times and it will hurt untill you get used to them
bike, helmet, water bottle, fingerless gloves, eyewear, air pump, extra tubes, good backpack with a waist strap, bike tools. do not invest in clipless from start, if later after you get used to the bike you think maybe it is worth it find a way to test clipless without spending the cash for them, then make the decision on it.
