We had a blast last weekend riding our All Mountain Motocycles on variety of trails nearby. We started with four riders and another friend joined the ride halfway to Ramlees Peak. A friend on a KSR had to leave early prior to the final climb and four of us continued on. The trail for the day included open climbs,singletrack,plantation,rocks and jungles. It was chosen for varieties and an opportunity to observe nature within suburban environment. The ride started at 9am in Sec 9 and ended at the cafe on Bukit Ramlee at 1 pm. The return ride was taken on a different route to complete a loop. We arrived back to Sec 9 safely at around 3 pm.
The whole idea of All Mountain Moto/mtn bike ride is to have maximum fun and minimum risk for every rider and bikes on the ride. Trails are chosen as such that escape routes are available for the not so skilled and for those who are can test their skills on the more difficult lines. There is also an opportunity for nature lovers to appreciate and blend in with the environment. There are plenty of line choices to suit everyone. There are elements of MX,enduro and trials thrown in and make up all Mountain Moto style of riding with a suitable choice of trails.
It should be fun and that is what All Mountain Moto riding is all about. It is also about learning from the better rider in a safe and controlled environment. You can be fast like in MX, have good stamina like in Enduro and have good balance like in Trials, you can learn all these in All Mountain Moto riding and become good rider overall . It is helpful to become a safe rider on your everyday commute if you are a full time rider unless you want to compete......thats a different story.
