Losing my DH virginity

If you climb the hill by bike, you gotta ride back down with some style.

This is what I kept in mind before trying downhill bike for the very first time. My friend Gašper, who's been in this sport for a while, knew exactly how much I'd love to try it, so visiting Bikepark Javornik was his birthday present to me. It was a really warm day in September, so the tracks were pretty much dry.

No matter how easy it seems when you're a viewer- it's not when you try it. It took me some bruises and a handache to realise that, but I still think it was a great experience and I got really motivated to do better next time.
And because videos just weren't impressive enough to be shared with you guys, here's a photo my happy face under helmet, which should do the trick for now.

And the park was great - it's clear that guys are really doing their best at managing different tracks, providing lots of options for many types of riders and plenty of curves, jumps and drops to keep it interesting. Bikepark Javornik, keep up the good work, I'll be back for sure to eventually try it all.

Do not miss my DH updates in spring! ;)
