DOWNHILL MOUNTAIN BIKING
Downhill mountain biking as I said is for the adrenaline junkies, these guys are crazy. In the UCI ( this is the world championships) the guys doing downhill go down this course at a tramendous speed, tale corners at crazy speeds, take jumps and clear like 10 meter gaps if not more, these guys just arent scared of anything.
Terrain:
Very rough and tight course, there is no time for messing up at all, if you mess up once there is a hight chance of breaking bones
Bikes and equipment:
Downhill bikes always need suspension, in the front and in the back, otherwise you will destroy your bicycle frame.
For equipment you need knee guards, baggy cycling clothes, a full head helmet and any desired cycling shoes.
For interest sake the Downhill world champion is Greg Minnaar
We do pretty decent downhill sections in our Enduro race. The total ascent and descent combined over 3 day’s race would make up the highest altitude Enduro race in the world. You might want to check out Yak Ru
