  1. Try using Bike Flights. They are online only, but they are fantastic regarding everything about shipping your bike. They can even provide you with shipping boxes. Also you can use them to ship your bike via FedEx using their account which you save you a lot. Far cheaper that what airlines charge for shipping bikes.
  2. Invest in mountain bike skills classes. You will learn proper techniques for riding and how to practice the right way which will make you a better and safer rider. Gene Hamilton provides classes locally thru his company Better Ride. He travels all over the country doing classes. I have taken his skills clinics multiple times here in Austin. It's the best investment you can make in improving your biking skills ability and riding more safely. The usual advice given to novice riders is to follow someone faster than you and do what they do. Not only is this idea ill advised, it can lead to serious injuries when someone tries to ride beyond their abilities. I don't know of any sport you can become good at without learning skills and proper techniques and practicing them correctly frequently. The advice I hear constantly is "ride more." Like you will just figure it out and ride successfully (once you've done all the wrong things and crashed a lot).
  3. I was informed by the landowner that there are also many trees down on the property, which I'm assuming are blocking the trails.
