There are 9 different categories of mountain biking. When it comes to these categories, they're very versed in what they offer. Included are:
What is BMX? A style where the bikes offer 20 inch meals is called BMX. At skate parks or dirt jumps are where these bikes are commonly used. BMX bikes have smaller wheels and shorter wheel bases which means performing stunts and tricks are easier.
What is cross country? With this type of mountain biking, you'll be riding your bike up and down hills. Although it's the least extreme form of mountain biking, most cross country riders are very fit and go on long rides.
What is cyclo cross? This is a cross between road and mountain biking. These riders have to go over obstacles, cross through rivers, and race on and off the course.
Dirt jumping. Dirt jumping involves jumping the bike over large man made dirt jumps then doing tricks while they are in the air. Riders can go over six or more jumps in one run since these jumps are normally close together and they gain a flow in order to give them more speed for bigger jumps.
Facts about downhill riding. With downhill mountain biking, the rider races downhill as fast as he can. This type of riding offers riders ultimate thrills and excitement because it's very extreme and intense.
Facts about free ride. Free riding involves finding the perfect line down the mountain using all of the terrain to express yourself. Riders can express themselves the way they see fit and so these competitions are very popular.
Single speed. This isn't fixed gears but rather a form of cross country biking that's done by using a bike with fewer components and one gear. Simplicity is the idea with single speed. Because of lack of components, the bike will be lighter and there will be less mechanical problems as well as efficient pedaling provided by the straight chain line.
Street and urban. This type of riding involves riding in urban areas, ledges, and other types of man made obstacles. Riders of street and urban biking will do tricks as well, such as stalls and grinds.
Trails. When it comes to trails, the bikes used look nothing like mountain bikes but it's still considered an aspect of mountain biking. They sport small, low frames and use 20-26 inch wheels. Trail riders will hop and jump their bikes over obstacles, which requires an extreme amount of balance and concentration.
