I've been looking for an alternate source of exercise and I liked riding my mountain bike as a kid through the woods until some shit stick stole it. Anyways, I've been looking into getting into mountain biking. I know it's expensive but so are a lot of things, I can work on it over time. Anyone have any advise or experience with mountain biking and what some suggestions on bikes/gear would be?
I'm not sure if it makes a difference for the bike itself but I'm 6'4 240lb.
Thanks guys

I genuinely and legitimately don't understand a thing you say or what the joke is (if there is one) behind the way you post.

Just wait... soon BR will make a certain kind of sense. Let me interpret for you:
Hit up /bbg/ if you have specific questions. When you ask them post your height, plan, budget, local craigslist. Depending on how off road you want to go you could swing a non-MTB specific frame with big tires or you might want something a little bit more specialized (ie front suspension or full suspension).

your too big for mountain biking. go for walks until you're sub 200 lbs. and stop eating fat.

29er

go shitpoast on the bikeforums "clydesdale" forum.
I see you on a single speed surly fatbike, slowly struggling up a small incline with full fannypack, visor, Eddy Bauer button-up, blasting Dropkick Murphys on a bike-mounted ipod speaker

get you a 29er hardtail to start with. regular platform pedals, any old skate shoe, a good extended-coverage helmet (DO NOT skimp on this), some full-fingered gloves and maybe kneepads if you're going to get frisky right off the bat.
also get some bike shorts with a good chamois. do not skimp on these, either. just... trust. you want these.
THIS is a 29er Hardtail (29-inch wheels, front suspension only hence 'hard tail'), but it is really fucking expensive. Get a less expensive model unless you're a dentist or something.

I got my bike from a police auction for 200$ complete with the wheelset, fork and decent drivetrain that I replaced with a single speed. So that's a good place to check too, because when I went there were a lot of other nice cheap bikes. Also is your comma key stickey?
