Hey, congratulations on the new bike. Giant gives you a lot for your money! I think the message you are getting here is correct. Get a helmet and get out there and use it. Try for easier trails and be prepared to walk the bike up or down steeper stuff. In a few weeks you’ll be riding those parts and wondering why you walked there at first.
After riding a few weeks try and find someone to teach you some actual technique. This can be a friend, a teacher or even YouTube. Main thing is to use it and have fun!
