So, even though \u201cthe trail isn\u2019t that steep,\u201d don\u2019t make your girlfriend\/boyfriend ride through the park so you can hit the boxes. They will thank you, and so will other people who\u2019s way they\u2019re not in. Make it your goal to make sure she\/he is having a good time. We promise, a few days of sacrifice and compromise won\u2019t kill you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.

It hurts, it\u2019s cold, they\u2019re bad at it, whatever. All of these things pass with time, but it\u2019s going to take patience to get there. Be understanding when they want to quit after an hour, or at least buy them a drink while you take a few more runs.<\/p>\n<p>In time, the bug will be caught (how could it not be) and you\u2019ll have a perfectly-trained riding buddy in addition to a loving life partner.
