My boys have always loved to go mountain biking. When they were teen-agers, they would go on the many mountain biking trails that were near our house at the time. I remember one time when one of my son’s went mountain biking with a friend who was just getting into the sport. We lived in a hilly area, so the biking trails were very hilly and it did take a lot of stamina and strength to go up them. My son’s friend made it up several hills and loved going down them, except for the one hill that got him. He took a big spill coming down one of the last hills before coming home. Thankfully, he was ok, but his one knee and calf were pretty scratched up. He had to walk his mountain bike home, because it hurt too much to bend his leg. Needless to say, they were back on the trails again not too long after. The guys still love to mountain bike and stay in excellent shape because of it and there hasn’t been any spills for quite awhile.
