Although maybe a small amount of downhill knee floggage is good to get the leg muscles used to it. Only works in bike park hours obviously

Have done this a few times while the son is doing his best to hurt himself on a downhill bike. It’s certainly a good grunt, get the feel goods when you can pass a biker struggling up the gradient
