the same answer as the last two posts you put up about this- go for it, you'll have a ball. A wet ball, but it'll be fun.

Go for it, you'll have a right laugh. You'll end up swimming a lot but that happens with everybody, I don't think anyone has ever has jumped straight into a 29er at your age and not made it fall over regularly. You'll learn a lot from it. :)
