What is Freeride Cycling?
Freeride cycling is a type of mountain biking that focuses on tricks, stunts, and technical descents. While it is similar to downhill cycling, it differs in that it is more focused on the tricks and stunts rather than racing. Freeride cycling is also known as “big mountain” or “extreme mountain biking” because of the impressive stunts and jumps that can be seen in this type of cycling.
Freeride cycling has grown in popularity over the years, with more and more cyclists taking part in the sport. According to the International Mountain Bicycling Association, more than 80% of mountain bikers participate in freeride cycling at least once a year. Freeride cycling has become so popular that there are even professional freeride competitions and events held around the world.
Freeride cycling is a thrilling sport that requires skill, balance, and courage. If you’re looking for a new challenge and an adrenaline rush, freeride cycling may be the perfect sport for you.
The History of Freeride Cycling
Freeride cycling is a style of mountain biking that emerged in the late 1990s in North America and Europe. The term freeride was first used by mountain bike magazine Dirt in the late 1990s, and became popularised as a way of describing the style of riding.
Freeride cycling is a form of mountain biking which combines the technical challenges of downhill mountain biking with the tricks and stunts of BMX riding. Riders use mountain bikes to perform tricks such as jumps, drops, and flips, often on large man-made or natural features such as dirt jumps, logs, rocks, and other obstacles.
The sport has grown rapidly since its inception, with riders competing in events such as the Red Bull Rampage and Crankworx. Freeride cycling has become increasingly popular, with riders pushing the boundaries of what is possible on a mountain bike.
