Downhill Mountainbiking

So is anyone else here crazy enough to do it? I do, nothing like a 60mph run down the side of a mountain to get the heart rate up....

not down a mountain, but down a HUGE hill. It took me a good 5 minuts untill i got the guts to go. It was really steep. (i was on my BMX bike)

I do cross country, my buddy Greg Minnaar is pretty handy at the downhill stuff though.

I love downhil biking but only on a mountain bike, I feel much safer.

I had a duel suspension moutain bike from Avanti, before my brother pulled it apart to the shit house I used to ride down steep dirt hills all the time in my local park, nothing like the rush of riding down a hill avoid rocks trees and bushes. I love it.

But I don't do that anymore I just do BMX road riding now. Man, this thread is giving me motivation to go offroad again. I love you guys.

Its almost offroad time here in new england, most of the snow is gone but now its mud season. Most of us wait until the ground firms up a bit before riding (its amazing how much 2 riders can tear up a trail), but we always get some ass who has to go out in the mud and wreck things for everyone. We had a sweet loop through a nursery, along the back fence, up a hill and a nice sweet downhill, got wrecked and now we can't use it.
