I think a complete beginner should ride hard in the dirt for a few years first, that's what I did and I think it makes a better rider in the end. Not all can do that though. Saved my butt more than once knowing how to purposely skid my bike in a controlled slide.



First bike i ever had and several after were dirt bikes, then enduro's and then street. The transition process worked for me, and as noted above, if i need to i can put my street bike over a curb and fair ok...... always avoid this however!
