Dirt jumping is
one of the names given to the practice of riding bikes over shaped
mounds of dirt or soil and getting airborne. The idea is that after
riding over the 'take off' the rider will become momentarily airborne,
and aim to land on the 'landing'. Dirt jumping can be done on almost
anything with wheels, but it usually involves bikes.
Dirt Jumping
evolved alongside bmx racing from its birth. Dirt Jumping is similar to
BMX
or
Mountain bike racing in that the rider jumps
off of mounds of dirt. It differs in that the jumps are usually much
larger and designed to lift the rider higher into the air. Additionally,
the goal is not to complete the course with the fastest time, but rather
to perform the best tricks with the best style. Trails are most often
hand built, with attention to detail.
