is an extreme trail a good place for a new rider to learn on

[RagunCajun]

I would say no because it says "extreme." You could always take things slow and progress faster and faster till you get better. But that's just my two cents....

Well, then again, I've seen trails labelled expert 4X4 only that were tit for anyone regardless of the machine.

The best way to learn is by finding a trail just a tad beyond your normal limit and hittting it. When you think you've mastered it, ride it some more.

When learning to jump, start small and hit the same height at various speeds. Master each height before going higher.

Play with your bike in ALL terrains. If you can, set yourself up an obstacle course. Ride it at varying speeds learning how the bike reacts to what input versus what terrain.

Most importantly, wear every piece of protective gear you have. It's all too easy to get hurt when pushing your limits.
