How do I start Downhill Mountain bike racing?
Question by MTBdh: How do I start Downhill Mountain bike racing?
I am 13, I love mountain biking and I am quite good at it. I was wondering, how do I start out, I already have a bike (Kona Stinky Garbanzo) and all of my gear so don't say I should get a bike. I get out and ride at least 7-10 hours a week, and I want to start racing, please help!
