Why it is important to jump on a bike

Jumping on a mountain bike is a super fun thing to do and it can be very important if you race on downhill tracks or cross country tracks. It is very helpful because if you don’t jump then you might have to slow down on the track. You have to walk around the jump because you are too scared to jump it.

You also need to know how to jump because if you don’t jump then you might lose a lot of speed and if you are racing then that would suck for you to lose most of your speed. Jumping is also something that you can almost do anywhere for example if there is a curb you can launch off of the curb. You can also jump without anything to help you jump you can just do a bunny hop, it might take you some time to learn how to bunny hop but you can get the hang of it and you will be able to do it no problem and maybe once you get good at jumping you can learn how to do some tricks like no handers, no footers, and backflips and similar tricks.

Jumping is important for downhill biking because when you are jumping you lose less speed. After all, if there is a rocky spot on the trail and you have no choice but to go on it you can just jump over it and you won’t even have to lose any speed if anything you will be gaining speed. Another time that you might want to jump is when there is a drop because if you don’t jump then you will nose dive and you could get very hurt and might even have to stop biking for a while.

Biking is a very technical sport so there will be many times where you have to jump or else you might crash or slow down and you don’t want either of those to happen. You also want to jump because some things could break your bike if you don’t jump like if there is a big rock and there isn’t any way around it you will have to jump over it or use it as a jump depending on the shape. It might be scary to jump though, so that is why you need to get used to your bike, or else something could go wrong while you jump and you could crash.

You also could jump around a lot because if you jump it makes riding a bike a lot more fun to ride. You also can get more respect from some of the other bikers and let me tell you it feels super good to get more respect from some of the other bikers. It feels really good to get the respect because when you get the respect you feel a lot more of a better bike than you thought you were before and you probably are. You also should jump around because when you jump around you get used to hitting small things on your bike and then later you will be able to get used to jumping on a bigger jump and it will be a whole lot easier and more fun. Just jumping around is also very good because when you jump around you have a whole lot more fun than if you were to just ride without jumping.

In conclusion, jumping is a great thing to do and it is also one of the most fun things to do on trails, around your neighborhood, and anywhere.

What are the different types of bikes and which one should you buy?

What are the different types of bikes and which one should you buy?

There are different types of bikes because there are different types of places where you want to ride those bikes. if you are riding at the wrong places with the wrong bikes it is not half as fun as it would be with the right bike.

 

BMX bikes

 One of the bikes is a BMX, a BMX is for riding on more of a flat surface because it doesn’t have any shocks. It is also made for racing on the smooth races that are made for riding on a BMX. It is also a smaller and more playful bike because it can clear a lot of jumps because of the size. 

 

Full Suspension bikes 

Next, there is a full-suspension mountain bike. They are made for riding trails and more technical things and it has two shocks one in the middle and one on the front, they are put there so that the impact of jumps and the bumps are a lot softer. It also has two parts of the frame: it has a front triangle and the rear triangle. There are two parts of the bike because if there wasn’t then the rear shock would not be able to move. Also, the shock would be solid and wouldn’t move even a little bit. You have to have strong parts on this bike or else this bike will fall apart if you are riding it very hard. 

 

Hardtail bikes

Next, there is a hardtail on a hardtail there is one shock and it is on the front of the bike. On this bike, it is a lot easier to gain speed on a paved road whether it is uphill or downhill. It is also a lot harder to gain speed on rocky terrain because there is no front shock to absorb the impact. It also is a little bit easier to jump with because you can gain speed on them a lot easier but there is a lot harder of an impact than there would be on a full-suspension bike. But they still are pretty fun and playful bikes to be on and it is a good beginner bike to ride on when you first start to ride on mountain bikes. They also are a lot lighter than a full suspension bike because it doesn’t have a rear shock and a rear shock adds a lot more weight because you have to add a lot more bolts on a full suspension. They also help you to be smarter on the trails because it is a lot harder to find a more smooth trail.

 

Road bikes  

Next, there is a road bike. Road bikes are a bike made for strictly a less rocky trail because they don’t have any shocks at all so if you take them on a rock trail it is not very fun to ride on. But when you are on a road you can get going super fast because when you ride on a flat surface there are nonshocks that take the power out of the strokes while pedaling. They also are one of the lightest larger bikes that you can get, like some of the pros can buy some that weigh as much as 18 pounds! They are super easy to gain speed on and they can be super fun to ride on on the roads.       

Gravel bikes 

 Lastly, there is a gravel bike. They are like a mix of a road bike and a hardtail. They have much thinner frames like a road bike but they have a front shock. It is also a super small front shock like most shocks have about 100 mm. Height but on a gravel bike, there is about 20 mm. They are very tiny shocks. They also are a lot lighter than a normal hardtail and a lot lighter than any full suspension bike. But they have the front shock so that you can still have some fun on the trails. They are also very good for riding on the road because the shocks are still pretty hard and they don’t move unless you want them to move. Also, you can make the front shock lockout so that it doesn’t move at all. Also, it is a very good bike to ride if you are not into mountain biking and you just want to ride on the roads. 

In conclusion, there are many different types of bikes in the world and they are all made to be able to do different things. They are also made to help you get better at some of the different things. Riding bikes is a super fun sport and I hope this article might encourage you to do it and help you to get started in the right way. 

Why mountain biking is becoming so popular

Why mountain biking is becoming so popular

Did you know that mountain biking is becoming more popular? It is a sport that gets your adrenaline pumping no matter what. It is a very thrilling sport and a whole lot of fun. Also with a good bike, you can almost do anything you want.

It is becoming more popular because bikes are becoming safer to ride on the trails than they used to be. They are safer because they have better shocks and stronger frames and stronger tires. Also wider tires for more grip. They are also becoming a lot lighter. Before the nice bikes used to get up to the forties in pounds. because they were made of aluminum but now all of the nice bikes are either all carbon fiber or have some carbon fiber parts on them so that it is much lighter. Some of the pros are riding hardtails just to get rid of the weight from the rear suspension. And they are making the bikes lighter so that it is easier to ride. And so now there are more people buying bikes at the beginning of the race season making it so that there are hardly any nice bikes in the shops. So all of the people that are wanting to buy a nice bike aren’t able to because all of the bikes are out of stock.

They are also able to go off bigger jumps than before because the shocks can absorb the impact better so that the impact is soft so that it doesn’t hurt when you land.it is also becoming more popular because the trails are becoming more fun, and easier for people to ride because the trails are more smooth because we have the technology to be able to make the trails more patted down so that you are not sliding out on them. It also is a sport that gets your adrenaline pumping and gets you hyped for a good time. Also, it helps you to get stronger legs. You can also go riding almost anywhere when you are on a mountain bike because they can ride on road, dirt, snow, ETC. Also, the people in the mountain biking community are almost all nice people that will never try to hurt you during your races.

Here are some bike brands that make very nice bikes to ride on trails and race with. First is Fezzari. They make e-bikes, hardtails, downhill bikes, cross country bikes, road bikes, and dirt jumpers. They have very nice bikes that will be able to let you go anywhere. Next is Scott, they make e-bikes hardtails, full suspension downhill bikes, full suspension cross country bikes, and road bikes.

The different types of biking sports

The different types of biking sports

There are many types of biking in the world, but today’s topic is going to be based on the best ones. From XC to Red Bull racing, these ones are the best:

First is XC mountain biking or cross country which is what I do. In cross country biking you race up to about 50 to 100 people per race and you all start at the same time. It is a pretty hard sport and you have to be in very good shape or else you will get very tired on the uphill because the uphill can get very technical and hard to do. At almost every race there is a person that walks their bike up the hills because they are not in the best of shape so all you have to do is ride a little bit more or ride longer, then you will be able to ride a lot faster and it won’t be as tiring unless you push yourself to your limits. Also, you don’t want to have your shocks very soft because if they are it will make it hard to go faster on the uphill and you want to be fast at the uphill. After all, if you are not then you will be passed on the uphill because there is a lot of people that are fast at the uphill.

Following, there is downhill, for downhill you need to be very fast at the downhill. Also, you need to have very good shocks for your bike or else it will be hard to be able to get through the technical parts of the downhill because the shocks are too hard which makes it bumpier so it makes you slow down. You also need to have a strong bike with very great bikes because if your bike is not strong enough you might get a crack on your bike because the trails might be technical for the bike so that is why you need to have a sturdy bike. You also want to have strong arms so that you can hold yourself on the bike easier and also so that when you are pumping you can pump a lot harder and your arms will not get as tired as easily. Also, you want to have very sturdy wheels because they are taking in the most force from all of the rocks that you are riding on. In some of the downhill races, some of the racers don’t have strong enough tires so the tire tacos and then you have to forfeit.

Next up, we have road biking. Road biking is a very fast biking sport because the racers have bikes that weigh as low as 17 pounds and for a super-light bike, I have a bike at home and it is a pretty nice bike that can sell for about $2000 and my bike weighs about 34 pounds. The average price of a pro biker’s road bike is about $7000. They are very expensive and with the money that you spend on a nice bike like that you can almost buy a car for that price. Also, the pro races have many laps that they have to do which makes them very hard for almost anyone that races them. Some of the races for road biking go from 30 to 200 miles and for me, I have trouble getting 25 miles on the rides that I go on. Also on a road bike, you can go a lot faster than on a mountain bike because the road bikes don’t have any shocks, and on the road, the shocks slow you down because it flexes and takes some of the speed that you would get without shocks away, so it is a lot easier to ride a road bike on the road and sidewalks than it is for a mountain bike.

Then, we have BMX. In BMX you learn how to ride fast on a BMX. You also learn how to jump very long distances. I have a friend and he does BMX and he has been doing it for a very long time, and now he can jump over 25 feet long on a 1 ½ foot tall jump with the right amount of speed. You also have to have very strong legs because it is a lot harder to pedal on a BMX. After all, there is only one hard gear and you cant switch them during the race.

Lastly, there is Red bull. In red bull, you have to hit huge jumps. You also have to be able to go very fast on the downhill or else you won’t be able to hit the jumps with enough speed so you might case it and on some of the jumps are gaps over valleys so if you case the jump there is a huge chance to get hurt or even works you could even die on some of the jumps. It also has many huge drops that can be very tall, there are some that if you mess up the landing you could get very hurt, and then you might not be able to ride for the rest of the season. But also you get a pretty good amount of money for doing something that you like to do so why not do it.
There are many different types of biking sports and these are some of the most popular ones. If you are interested in mountain biking try it out it is a very liked sport and it is something to do so why not try it.
