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.

I could watch this all day! Back when I got my first bike, I used to do crazy stuff on it all the time. I’d watch the older kids and just copy what they did. Unfortunately, I’m a wienie now and you won’t see me doing what you’re doin’ with that bike. It’s pretty scary, but lots of fun for sure.
