How good do you have to be to Mountain Bike

Question

Well I'm just into biking and trial biking watching the insperational vids.

I haven't biked much before i watch the trial vids and i was like i gots to learn that. So i bought a bike. Now i was wondering how good do you have to be to mountain bike.
