A Reminder: Make sure you are geared up well. A helmet, riding gloves, a riding jacket, a pant or an elbow and knee guards, and proper riding boots are necessary for venturing into trails. Always partner up with one more rider on trails. Trails are supposed to be unexpected, and you can never be ready for it all. It’s best to have at least one more rider accompany you for trail riding. This reduces your chances of getting stuck in one place for long for whatsoever reason. Carry the basic toolkit to take care of any mechanical urgency on the way.  And be versed to use that toolkit. Always carry a first-aid box with you and learn how to use it. And finally, on riding front, keep that throttle in check. Engage engine braking while coming downhill.  If your bike stalls while going uphill, use engine braking to stop it from sliding down.
