C's first experience with hydraulic brakes.

C's first mountain bike experience with hydraulic brakes. The clerks at Northstar said get used to the rental bike. They were right. It was his idea to get a closer look at the mountain. Seriously, he actually has 1200 miles his first year on his Trek road bike. So breaking on the downhill with pavement is 2nd nature. Here he is only going on the easy stuff this first time. Hence only gloves and helmet needed. Lesson learned, wear you gloves.

Yes, better to biff it on the flatter part of the hill than later.  This has been a PSA.

@clovis6000 who hasn't ever gone over the handlebars at least once? I just did it a few weeks ago after a very long hiatus from cycling. Just bought the bike and was riding it home and was going pretty fast under a freeway over pass. Accidentally grabbed a handful of the front brake and abruptly went over. Luckily I landed on my hands and feet. The bike was more damaged than I was. Live and learn or in my case I lived, then I forgot, then I had to learn again.
