Are you new to Mountain Biking? Or perhaps you've been riding for years without making an effort to advance your skills and overcome your fears? If this sounds familiar then I'll be willing to bet at least one of the following applies to you:

• You absolutely hate climbing hills!
• You have to slow down to a crawl at corners
• You can't understand how other riders simply glide over boulders and tree roots so quickly and easily
• Nobody ever told you the real secret of using all those gears properly
• You always wanted to learn how to pull wheelies, bunny hops and jumps
• You'll do anything to avoid slippery or technical surfaces
• You just get frustrated with how much faster everyone else seems able to ride than you!
• Fear of hurting yourself
• You want to buy a bike but get overwhelmed with the sheer number of choices
• You worry about your bike breaking down miles from civilization
• You need to adjust those annoying screeching brakes or slipping gears

If you can relate to any of the above, then I have a book that you MUST read.

If you could only buy one Mountain Biking guide this year, this is the one. This comprehensive learning system for beginners eliminates the frustration of endlessly surfing the web trying to piece together the tiny nuggets of information you need to really make a difference in your riding skills.

Perhaps you've bought a couple of 'Beginner's Guides' before but even the most up to date books on the subject are at least a year old by the time they hit the shelves - with the swift developments in technology any hardcopy guide is sure to be out of date in months. And more often than not they're wishy-washy, feeble and nowhere near comprehensive enough.
