Downhill Racing Bike

The high temperature of 4 degrees had come and gone one Sunday afternoon last December at the base of a mountain in Lake Louise, Alberta, when Lindsey Vonn found her husband, Thomas, and buried her head into the shoulder of his puffy ski jacket.

“I’m so depressed,” she said quietly. He put his arm around her.

“Hey,” Thomas said. “That’s awesome.”

The Idaho mountains are a wonderful place to go for a biking adventure, and with 19,000+ miles of trails to choose from, there are trails for beginners and experienced riders alike. The best time to bike in Idaho is during summer and fall, because the spring is too wet and muddy and the hard winters make biking nearly impossible. But it’s worth the wait until early summer because the views are fantastic and the trails are awesome.

The Mink Creek Recreation Area near Pocatello has an 11-mile loop called the Valve or Pump House trail. This is a great place for beginners to hone their skills. Theres nothing too technical here, but it will test your endurance. Bring plenty of water.

I'm looking into going into the downhill mountain bike, I rode a few friends on a bike and I have a semi-rigid but I was wondering what would be the best dual suspension bike to start racing.

Get a yeti or cannondale frame, there are lots of them on ebay. I bet your buddies have plenty of random parts that they will sell cheap or give to ya.

It all depends on how much you are willing to spend. All bicycle manufacturers have a good downhill version.

the brand special or gt. they both have good bikes.

The Specialized Demo 9 is an excellent downhill bike.
