I rode backpack like once, maybe twice before I went and bought mne. and I had only ridden a dirtbike one time as well. I hopped on and forced myself to learn. If she actually gets a bike and learns how to ride then cool, good for her. hopefully she buys some damned gear while she's at it. but talking about it accomplishes nothing. and thats all it is, just talk. that and the desperate groupie backpack thing
