Mountain biking 101 with Martin Simich Hi there, my name is Martin and while I’m not sitting in the office compiling crazy adverts and dealing with mad clients that want us to create something amazing for their ad campaigns, I’m out in the wild with the wind rushing past my ears, sweat running down the side of my face and holding on to my handle bars for dear life as I cruise through as much rough terrain as I can possibly find. If you have never been outdoors on a mountain bike before then it is time that you get out there and try it. There are so many places that you can check out that will give you the ride of your life if you just get out there to find them. I wouldn’t suggest trying anything rough your first time round, but at least if you get to know your bike and feel how well you can handle it, then you will start to explore your capabilities and get to know how far you can push yourself out there.

I am personally a big enthusiast of mountain biking that I have even dedicated one of my own blogs entirely to the subject. I wanted to call it Martin Simich Mountain biking, but the name sounded a bit long winded and I just ended up using my own name instead. So far I have posted a number of gnarly videos about guys that have done some really crazy stuff on a bike, including one guy getting run over by a wild buck while riding along some trail in the bush. In fact, it was definitely one of the more interesting things I’ve ever seen to be honest. Things like that don’t really happen often in case you were wondering but at least you know you are guaranteed an exciting time every time you hit the road.

So to start you off, you need to make sure you get a decent bike. That might sound obvious, but you have to think about where you plan to take the bike. If you just going to be cycling on the roadside then you don’t really need anything serious, but off road terrain can get pretty nasty and having good shocks, a comfy seat and sharp breaks will be important.

It is not really recommended for beginners to try heavy terrain right away, so you need to make sure you ease into it. Get yourself the right gear and ALWAYS make sure you have your helmet on for safe keeping.

If I had to consider myself as a professional I would have to say that I’m a better marketer than I am a cyclist and the reason for that is purely because I prefer to be more creative than I do being active. That’s not to say that I don’t enjoy the outdoors, but I do enjoy it for one particular reason. When I’m out on a ride and watching the road sail past me at record speeds I tend to

think about my next move for all my marketing clients that I do consulting work for. However, it is never actually about finding ways to make your work life work, so to speak, it is all about getting out there, doing some exercise and breaking free from all the regular hum drum that one experiences in their everyday lives. What you think about while you are out there is really entirely up to you, and if you want to spend it thinking about work then that’s okay, as long as you find it constructive and it doesn’t bother you.

Personally I like to promote cycling and being outdoors, whether it be on the road itself or exploring some rugged terrain that not many people have crossed. My Martin Simich motto for cycling has always been a simple one; Do what you love best and always do your best for the things you love. It’s a simple saying that has a lot of meaning and is quite pertinent to most things in life and as long as you stick to the things you love most and you do the bet you can when you do them, then you will never be unhappy with your life. As a personal life philosophy I believe that people need to live their lives to the fullest and they need to do the things that make them happy.

On another note, I think that people should spend more time outdoors to get a feel for nature and a feel for the world around them. If you can get in touch with nature then you will really begin to experience a freedom that is incomparable to anything you have ever known in your whole life. For me, it has to be cycling, but you might be able to do the same thing with climbing, hiking or simply spending time in your local botanical gardens.

Either way, it’s good for your health to keep fit and stay active so that your body can build on itself and get healthy and there is no better way to do it then the outdoors.
