Also… your skills do take a bit of time to develop. Give it time and respect cos it’s too easy to get in over your head with todays DH rigs.
You can also look at the used market (which is inflated right now) or mail order such as via Chain Reaction or Canyon. For this fall consider renting a few bikes to try them out. If you’re spending $5k then spending only $2-300 renting could be money well spent to get you on the right bike for you.

Definitely will be getting the full assortment of protective gear and renting something local and giving it a whirl is a good idea.
Speaking of skills, are there local MB camps that people would recommend? I know Winsport and UofC offer programs but not sure what the reviews are like.
