It's like downhill skiing, pretty much, except it's a bicycle. It's the same thing as downhill skiing, a downhill mountain bike - a race against time, the same, almost, if you go to Durango. A downhill mountain bike has 9 inches of travel at the front, and 9 or 10 inches of travel front or back. It's like having a motorcycle - lots of travel.
