Hey guys, I'm doing a school paper on Downhill Racing. Trying to expand my sources to get different views on this topic we all love to do, Downhill Racing. What better place to get different viewpoints then come to the main source, rider forums. My keypoints i'm writing about are:
-the mental side to racing, why we ride pedal bikes down mountains at blistering speeds risking waff 'n limb.
-is Downhill Racing just as much mental as it is physical? how do you deal with the mental side of dealing with finding new race lines/ overcoming new obstacles(jumps, drops, etc.)
-how downhill racing gets our adrenaline pumping, over playing normal sports like football or baseball.
-what drives us mentally too push ourselves over the limit to reach that next level of speed.
-(General) what makes "extreme" sports more exciting to watch.
Forgot my outline/notes, but that is the basis of my paper. If any of you guys can shed some of your own personal insight on this topic, that'd be awesome. Much appreciated, Thanks.
