F. Extreme, stunt or competition riding
Whether you call it Aggro, Hucking, Freeride, North Shore, Downhill, Jumping, Stunt Riding,
Racing or something else: if you engage in this sort of extreme, aggressive riding you will get
hurt, and you voluntarily assume a greatly increased risk of injury or death.
Not all bicycles are designed for these types of riding, and those that are may not be suitable
for all types of aggressive riding. Check with your dealer or the bicycle’s manufacturer about the
suitability of your bicycle before engaging in extreme riding.
When riding fast down hill, you can reach speeds achieved by motorcycles, and therefore face
similar hazards and risks. Have your bicycle and equipment carefully inspected by a qualified
mechanic and be sure it is in perfect condition. Consult with expert riders, area site personnel
and race officials on conditions and equipment advisable at the site where you plan to ride.
Wear appropriate safety gear, including an approved full face helmet, full finger gloves, and
body armor. Ultimately, it is your responsibility to have proper equipment and to be familiar
with course conditions.
WARNING: Although many catalogs, advertisements and articles about
bicycling depict riders engaged in extreme riding,this activity is extremely
dangerous, increases your risk of injury or death, and increases the severity of
any injury. Remember that the action depicted is being performed by
professionals with many years of training and experience. Know your limits and
always wear a helmet and other appropriate safety gear. Even with state-of-the-
art protective safety gear, you could be seriously injured or killed when jumping,
stunt riding, riding downhill at speed or in competition
.
WARNING: Bicycles and bicycle parts have limitations with regard to
strength and integrity, and this type of riding can exceed those limitations.
