How to downhill mountain bike by 1newman

"SO GOOD"

How I did it: I went down the hill, with only minor injuries.  I got full pads and made awesome for 3 hours straight.  Be careful but do it.  I went to highland mountain bike park in new hampshire, and later to jiminy peak in western massachusetts.  One time on a iron horse 7.3, the other on a giant reign X.  Its pretty tough and I have to give it 100% of my attention or else I crash right away.  Anyone who wants to downhill bike needs to be pretty good at regular mountain biking, or else they are in for a hurting.

Lessons & tips: lower your seat all the way, and have a bike with at least 5" front and rear travel       

Resources: 2008 giant reign X, full face helmet, knee, shin, elbow pads, gloves

    can't stop thinking about it 13 months ago

    I was curious when a friend of mine told me his wife is a professional downhill mt biker. (He was a professional cyclist himself as well.) I later googled it and checked the sport out on youtube. Watching it was like coming home … a feeling like it was in me somewhere … like I’m meant to try it and be one with it. Ridiculous rantings and thoughts I’m sure, but now I can’t stop thinking about it. My friend says his wife does a clinic of sorts around July every year for all skill levels (beginners included). I have every intention of checking it out come that time. Until then I’ll dream myself that little dream. :)
