Adaptive Downhill Mountain Biking Intro

One of the adventure sports that is available for people who have limited physical abilities is downhill mountain biking. This is a gravity sport, which, as the name suggests, relies on the forces of gravity. Simple, right? You start at the top of a mountain and ride down… that’s the gist. I’ll get into details later.

This sport has captured my interest over the past year. In the spring I connected with an adaptive sports organization to assist with writing a grant to fund some equipment costs for their program. Throughout these efforts my eyes were opened to details that make seeing this sport expanding on a widespread basis somewhat difficult. My problem-solving cap was put on and I’ll be examining some related issues here on this blog in the not-too-distant future.

I don’t have first-hand experience with riding yet, but that will change during a trip to Colorado in August. Can. Not. Wait.
