Is 29 too old to start Downhill Mountain Biking?

Have had a few years expirience in xc and have just bought complete body armour, full face helmet etc….

Hey Walter,

-Your are never too old to start Downhill Mountain Biking! But you are going to have to build up your DH skills slowly. Since you XC already you probably have the Aerobic capacity, but now you have to learn the skills, so you won’t end up killing yourself. Downhill riding is totally different from XC riding, so make sure you have a bike that is set-up for DH riding.
-I am 45 years old and I ride downhill / freeride. I ride better now than I did when I started 10 years ago. Some people say you have to be young to race in Motocross, but check out Jeff Ward for Team Honda. He is 46 years old and he is still winning Motocross and Supermoto races against riders half his age!.
-Throw on those pads and fullface helmet! You are never too old to start Downhill Mountain Biking! Well, you can always try it since you purchased all your protective gear. Ride safe!
