So I've ridden BMX for a long time. for about 15 years until maybe 2 years ago when i moved, had to make new friends and just sort of lost interest. the last 2 years or so i rode mainly park/street etc but the 3 or 4 years before that i raced competitively and took things very seriously. I recently rode a trail with a friend who let me ride his 29er. it felt so great i bought one. now what?

(besides ride it of course..)

anything i should know? trail etiquette outside of common sense?.. terminology thats different?.. etc...

You need to watch the mountain bike film "Klunkers" and you need to ride someday in MoabSmile

if you came from bmx racing I think it would be a rad idea for u to do some mountain bike racing so you can keep that competitive spirit burnin

i said i wasn't going to do that a few weeks ago (to my wife) when i bought the bike, but i was watching some videos on youtube and i do secretly want to try it. just maybe not get too into it with training and coaches and what not like we did with BMX

Look up the IMBA (International Mountain Bicycling Association) website for rules of the trail, and have fun on the trails.
