How to Mountain Bike Downhill

Step 1 Practice starting and stopping on gradual hills to become acquainted with your bike.
Step 2 Brake primarily with your rear brake. Lightly press your brake in and out, called “fluttering,” instead of slamming it down.Step
3 Flutter front and rear brakes in steep spots.
Step 4 Relax. Keep your legs and arms loose as you descend to absorb the bumps smoothly.
Step 5 Keep your weight on your pedals, not the seat. Suspend your rear end over the seat to avoid unexpected jolts.
Step 6 Keep your weight back on steep hills.
Step 7 Use the momentum of your speed to fly over smaller rocks and roots once you become more comfortable.
If you want to tackle a challenging hill, walk it first and plan your line of descent. Focus on your line of travel by looking 20 to 40 feet ahead. Look for a path around obstacles such as logs or rocks. Fixating on obstacles can cause you to bike into them. Slamming on your front brake usually results in a face plant.

Wear a helmet.

Downhill biking (DH) is a gravity-assisted time trial mountain biking event. Riders race against the clock, usually starting at intervals of 30 seconds (seeded from slowest to fastest), on courses which typically take two to five minutes to complete. Riders are timed with equipment similar to that used in Downhill skiing. The placing is determined by the fastest times to complete the course; races are often won by margins of under a second. As the name of this discipline implies, downhill races are held on steep, downhill terrain with no extended climbing sections, resulting in high speed descents with extended air time off jumps and other obstacles

Blunt Force Trauma Never Sounded So Good
Big, beefy, burly — Bullit. There are times when delicacy will only get you hurt, or laughed at, and when gravity is calling like some freakish ghost yodel that only you can hear. Times like those might call for a simple, heavy-duty bike. One with a plentiful 180mm rear travel, a massive 20mm single pivot axle, ISCG05 mounts, a gusseted to 1.5″ headtube, and the choice of 135 or 150mm dropouts. That’d be the Bullit.

13th Annual “Barking Spider” Mountain Bike Race

Rob Chrin — Fri, 14 May 2010 21:52:29 +0000

I shot this while riding my first mountain bike race. I used a Canon Powershot digital camera set to video mode. I mounted it to my handle bars using a headlight mount and 1/4″ bolt & wingnut with a washer as a platform for the camera. The vibration was quite loud so I had to turn the audio down during editing. I came in 25th Place in the “Beginner” category. April 12th 2008

1989 or 90 Mountain Bike Downhill Practice and Race.
This is a video that I shot during a downhill mountain bike race. The race was held at Killingworth west of Newcastle N.S.W Australia. I thought I would share it because it shows all the old bike gear being used. Including old style body Armour., 30mm travel shocks and hardtails.
Riders include Werner Walrab, Scott McDermott, Glen Forman, David Burgess,Tony Wade.

Amazing Mountain Bike Jump Competition – Red Bull Rampage – Virgin, Utah

Rob Chrin — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 12:45:15 +0000

This is a video of the Red Bull Rampage competition that was held in Virgin, Utah for three years in a row, I think from 2002-2004. The event was held again in October of 2008. The goal of this competition is to get down the mountain the most difficult way without wrecking or putting a foot down. This stuff is sick!

Side Note: I do not own the rights to this video. That is reserved to the owners.
