Have you ever wanted to feel free, or maybe you want to soar through the sky, maybe you need a new hobby, maybe you just want some new friends? Well mountain biking has it all! Henry Moore, a student athlete at Kearns Sr High has a hobby that tops them all! Mountain biking is one of the most exciting sports out there, bringing thrill, strength, endurance, and a new family, these are only some of the rewards you will gain on your biking journey. Right here in Kearns there is a great biking team. Now of course this team is for students, but that doesn’t mean the parents cannot enjoy it too. Anyone who has graduated from high school can come to help coach. The team can be joined during the pre-season meetings and practices April 1st – June 1st. Mountain biking is an amazing sport with many opportunities to make new friends, grow as a person, and find joy in the outdoors. A joyous feeling comes when you are out riding. Henry Moore says, “I like the feeling that I get when I am going fast. I love the feeling of that adrenaline coursing through me.” Henry Moore is a JVC race division rider and student athlete at Kearns Sr High. Of course, like every rider Henry has a favorite trail. In his interview Henry said, “My favorite trail is Black Ops down in Cedar City, it’s a black diamond jump trail and it’s a lot of fun.” Even though some riders may say that a trail is fun it does not mean you should just go out and ride it. For example, Black Ops is a black diamond trail which means that it is meant to be ridden by expert level riders. Of course, there are still fun trails for beginners or riders without a lot of confidence in their skill. Henry has trails that he recommends for beginners, “I would highly recommend the Butterfield trails out in Herriman because those are super smooth and not too steep. Or I would go out too Little Valley in Draper.” Some more things you could look for in mountain biking are the brands you buy from. Recommended bike brands are Specialized and Trek for the fact that they are widely used and liked by many people.
