This is my Diamondback full suspension mountain bike. It is not the best bike out there, but it suits me just fine for now. Yesterday; October 7, 2010 it got ran over by a truck while on a bike path. The fellow has agreed to pay the repair costs, which right now stand at 5. The bike was purchased brand new for about 0. This is the video I took of my bike before I brought it to one of the local bike repair shops to document the damage should the fellow decide not to follow up on his word. When he ran over my bike, he smashed the back end, and stayed on it, which dug the whole bike into the ground. If your bike gets run over, or you have a bad wreck on it take it in for repairs. Some types of damage to bikes… especially frame and rim/hub damage can cause fatal accidents down the road. Its not worth saving a few hundred on repairs only to have a very serious and probably even MORE expensive mishap down the road. Its fun to live on the edge, but it’s more fun to be alive to do such things!

SimplyTrustedGuide.com — How to Mountain Bike Downhill STEP 1 Practice starting and stopping on gradual hills to become acquainted with your bike. STEP 2 Brake primarily with your rear brake. Lightly press your brake in and out, called “fluttering,” instead of slamming it down. STEP 3 Flutter front and rear brakes in steep spots. STEP 4 Relax. Keep your legs and arms loose as you descend to absorb the bumps smoothly. STEP 5 Keep your weight on your pedals, not the seat. Suspend your rear end over the seat to avoid unexpected jolts. STEP 6 Keep your weight back on steep hills. STEP 7 Wse the momentum of your speed to fly over smaller rocks and roots once you become more comfortable.
