I'd like to qualify my response by saying this is my first DJ. I really like the bike. It's feels good in the air, it's very responsive, and it comes with a very good fork for the price. I consulted with an experienced dirt jumper before buying it, and he approved. Personally, I think it's the best Intro bike on the market for the price

50 years old, just started back riding. I used to road bike in my teens, then started mountain biking when I moved to Santee while going through training in San Diego. Kept mountain biking in Virginia, and even did a couple of races. Stopped riding in the late 90's. Just got my Roscoe 8 yesterday, and I've done two rides of about 5 miles each. Living in the New Orleans area, so the trails aren't too crazy, but my wrists and all is sore already just from that little bit of riding. I did add the Shimano clip/flat pedal combo to the bike. I used to always ride clipped in. Now days, I see a lot of videos with people just riding flat pedals with the spikes. Just seems like my feet slip doing that. Hope I get at least a little good at biking like I used to be.

Thanks for sharing! Absolutely agree, so many trails on such a small area. Tbh, only that one hill near the Las Ramblas trailhead parking has 6 trails (b-lines, shovelhead, choke&coyote, chucks town, 2ball&bone, g spot) and for me usually that's good enough for a few hours or going up&down :) As for the b-line, I've hiked up the trail before, before I realized that someone can ride on it, and before I've ridden it myself. Now I'd never hike it, neither I'd try climb it on a bike :) So I absolutely understand why you didn't expect to see the two guys climbing :) Btw, just quick question about the Secret S..t. I've never ridden it but based on the map it looks like it ends in some private property complex or so. Are there any problems to ride out of it? Is it some gated community or there some connector back to Las Ramblas trails?

There are two climb outs of S.S where you can get out of the community quickly. I've never had an issue with the homeowners, but I try to be very respectful, so there are no issues.

@Jose-sy1je Few different ways. Look for group rides put on by local bike shops or mtb organizations. KZbinrs will sometimes have get togethers as well. Find people on IG who ride in your area and chat them up. Same thing when you on the trails. Chat up the riders you see. Also, look for local trail building/repair days.
