I'm relatively new to mountain biking, I ride a 650b or 27.5 in. and have loved it just need to bond with it more on the single track. Wondering if anyone had any tips or words of advice?

    Keep the rubber side down.

    Depends what type of riding you're into, any advice? Is pretty vague.

    Strava helped me get competitive when I couldn't meet up with friends, riding with someone else is the best I terms of motivation and enjoyment in my opinion.

    How do you ride? What's your goals etc

    Ride as much as possible. I was sketchy going over sand or loose gravel when I first started, but just doing it a lot helped me to trust my bike which in turn made me more confident going over those things, especially when they're on a foot wide path.

    How do I ride? I'm not sure if I even know. I guess right now I am looking to find out. I've only been out on a single track trail several times. Just working on getting the hang of riding the line and "Staying hungry" while pedaling and gear shifting.
