New MTB rider (defying odds w/ WAL-MART inspired bike) on a budget

[Divinityche]

Hey everyone hope you all are well. Got this bike on a deal long story short basically cost me $50.00.
This is the Ozark trail ridge, wonderful frame and intro specs. Feel free to check out berms two videos on it from YouTube.
I’m near Piscataway/Johnson Park area. Always welcome to meet new riders to link up with and to keep in touch. First project going tubeless.

I still can’t believe the deal I got. Just definitely needs servicing.

Welcome to the forum! Yes, I am pretty close and a fellow walmart bike rider. Though these days I barely get to ride.

Did some upgrades! Went tubeless, new pedals, hydraulic brakes and a complete break down and rebuild of the bike. Suspension next… recommendations are welcome 🙏🏼
