    Just remember never to be (and especially not to demonstrate you are) better than him at climbing, descending, jumping, repairs or anything else bike-related and you might just get away with it! :wink:

    Oh and ask his advice often (although never about anything he might not know the answer to) and listen to his reply as though each word is a diamond-encrusted trinket for you. :lol:

    Hello :D

    My other half got me into mountain biking and I am completely converted now! I agree with Belv, in the interests of domestic bliss just try not to look too smug when you actually do something better than him :wink:

    I'm a bit of the opposite, my girlfriend got me into mountain bikes and I love getting out there with her, even if I do hold her up when I get the opportunity, but I'm getting in practice whenever I can and we're going out on our bikes together for the first time in about a month this weekend, I'm hoping to show her up a little :P
