You'll notice on this bike, the front wheel has a special kind of shock on it that allows for about eight inches of travel and when I say travel it means how far the wheels compress and so the bikes that are made for downhill mountain biking are really fashioned out of the same technology that motocross racing has built so when you look at the types of terrain that those bikes can handle, they can really handle rough terrain and make it a smooth ride.\"\u003cbr/\u003e22.

He says that the sport is growing in popularity.\u003cbr/\u003eMany of the trails on the mountain have jumps and special ramps that cyclists can try.\u003cbr/\u003eBob says that they good thing about the sport is that it adds a new dimension to a skill a lot of people already have. \u003cbr/\u003eThe sport can be dangerous and so cyclists wear protective gear - including full-torso suits. The armour covers the spine and kidneys and a hard plate covers the chest. It's often worn with rigid protective pads over the arms and legs.\u003cbr/\u003eDavid Yoo is the Marketing Manager for the mountain. He says that downhill biking is not much more dangerous than skiing or snowboarding and that motocross technology is increasingly being used for downhill mountain biking.\u003cbr/\u003eJoe Alamo is a competitive biker and a trick downhill mountain bike jumper. \u003cbr/\u003eHe says he loves the sport but he acknowledges the risks involved - citing the injuries he has
