these are generally awesome people who ride down a rooty, rocky and usually steep hill with a bike and armour. they are known to outsiders as 'fearless bastards' and usually get 'loose as a goose'
girls who participate in this sport are rare to find, but on the chance that you do find one you will soon learn that they are fucking fantastic and much more of a 'fearless bastard' compared to your everyday girl and guy. girls who ride bikes are amazing ;)

Downhiller 2: "fuck yeah, lets shred up some dirt!"
Downhiller Girl: "YEAH!"
very much like street BMX biking, but with a good quality, fullsize bicycle. urban mountain bikes have front-fork suspension and a hardtail, with a low-clearance top-tube and low seat. its an action sport with a small number of devoted practicioners who are recognizable by their deeply pocked, purple shins, tolerance, friendliness, maverick mentality, and sexy, athletic build.
a discipline of mountain biking originated in vancouver's north shore. northshore riding takes place in the woods, on elevated, often extremely narrow wooden constructs such as "adirondack ladders" and "hamsterwheels." a typical northshore bike has 6.5" travel front and rear, 26" wheels, and beartrap pedals.
