Dirt Jump
One of the many sports commonly involving mountain bikes are known as "dirt". This sport is based on the idea of using shaped mounds of earth to push itself into the air. After takeoff, the challenge is to regain control of his vehicle of choice to secure a landing insurance in a specific place. Sport can be played with several different rides. The most common are 20-inch wheels BMX, Cruisers, mountain bikes and motocross freestyle. Of these, the mountain bike is definitely the favored option.
Dirt Jumping competition is not considered a sport, but rather to participate in the simple enjoyment of it. The bicycles used are manufactured by companies that are smaller and less known, which adds a little to the exclusivity of the sport. Dirt bridges consider their sport to be part of the groundwater, which is probably why there are not that many matches. In recent years, companies have begun to run competitions with cash prizes for dirt jumping, but has not yet reached that stage where almost everyone has heard of him.
Some appear think that dirt jumping as a sport, is identical to the mountain bike racing. This assertion is false. While the two sports have some aspects in Common dirt jumping focuses more on the pitch and duration of the break to finish the race faster. Moreover, the number and quality of the tricks performed is also a factor. This sport is far more dangerous than racing and has many years and much practice before the blows longer appear.
However, not all mountain bikes are necessarily suitable for dirt jumping. The frames are usually smaller than those used for other purposes and usually only have a brake rear. The tire size is either 24 or 26 inches and the forks are rigid or short haul. The wheel size is especially important because it determines the how to takeoff. Therefore, before starting to learn the sport, you must sure your mountain bike is for the task. Accidents have been known to happen because the participant does not have the proper equipment. Caring for the mountain bike is very important not only for yourself can avoid breaking a leg or worse, but also that you have in mind when she does dangerous jumps.
