Here is a photo of me and my mountain bike instructor in the pine forest at Muriwai.

He taught me to keep my balance by imagining I am split in half and distribute my weight evenly.

The hardest thing in my mountain bike session was going up a sandy hill, I would keep sliding down once I got close to the top.

 I changed how I did it by walking instead.

I would recommend  this

 activity to anyone who

is adventurous.
