Mountain biking has developed into several different categories depending on the preference of the rider. Some prefer cross country while other prefer the downhill. Downhill mountain biking is such fun to do that many have specialized in racing downhill.
Downhill mountain biking is a very adrenaline pumping sport. The speed that bikers reach while participating in downhill mountain biking races are really fast. The possibility of an accident happening is great because the downhill bikers pedal their bikes even as they go down at great speeds. The reason why they still pedal is to achieve more speed and go faster than their opponents.

Downhill mountain biking races usually have two categories. You either race against an actual opponent or you race against the time. Racing against opponents are what is called dual slaloms. In these races, both the downhill bikers are released simultaneously and they race to the bottom in a bid to reach the finish line first.
The other kind of race is done by letting the participants have a go at the downhill course at least twice. The best time they achieve during the two runs will qualify them for the next round....
