What do you wish you had known before you bought your first mountain bike?

that 29ers are harder to manual than 26 and 27.5 due to the longer chainstay and generally longer stock stems making it more difficult to position your weight correctly over the back wheel.

There really is a reason for having a dual suspension xc mtb.
You can always case your rim and pinch straight through your tire(even tubeless). Getting stranded with one shredded tire doesn't seem like it could happen with a heady tubeless tire but it can. It always can

My first mountain bike is still kicking (kinda) 18 yrs later so I guess I didn't do too bad.

Nice, desu.

I'm graduating from College soon and my folks asked if I want a new bike. I have a beater commuter specialized rigid but want to get into more trail riding. Should I look at just front suspension?

once you go full squish you won't go back to a hardtail but this of course depends all on their budget. If its under 2k get a hardtail.

Seriously any background on that picture? Maybe some video of mtn bikers getting wrecked?

It's a crash from Red Bull Rampage. The guy popped his ankle back in and walked it off.
