Now I only wanted a test ride.

Just wanted to say hi.

New to this site, thought I'd join and get some advice from those in the know. Been riding for fun for the last 3 years on a basic cross bike. was going to go down the road bike route, but soon realised that I get more enjoyment out of cycling through the wooded areas.
Now, I only went into the bike shop for a test ride, honestly. but after a chat and having a go on a few bikes I ended up buying a cube aim disc 29. And to be honest it was my wife's fault because she spotted a few paint chips and got 20% off the price. And from a newbie point of view I'm amazed by the clearance and comfort, been down tracks i could only push my previous bike. So for now I'm happy.
So I look forward to any tips for a beginner.

Only crash often enough to be sure it's you pushing the limits and not that your rubbish at it! (It's what I tell myself!)

I will take years to build up skill

Just enjoy it, eventually you'll find yourself getting quicker

Then start to push yourself, take on red graded trails and attempt hard features

if you crash try to avoid the giant patch of stinging nettles (:
