Congrats on the new whip! New bike day is always so awesome. With regard to your question above, travel is how much your bikes suspension (fork and shock) can compress when riding. It is typically measured in millimeters, with most modern trail bikes being between 130 and 150 mm. Other than that, just watch YouTube videos, read stuff, ask questions, and pick up bits and pieces as you go. Happy riding!
