Nine out of ten mountain bikers agree that riding downhill is more fun than climbing. Just kidding, I made that up. It’s probably closer to ten out of ten. While most of us agree that descending is the fun part, some of us like to take it slow and savor the flow while others like to gun and be done. So tell us how you roll!
Question for the comments: Are you the fastest, slowest, or middlest descender in your riding group?

Some call this energy "speed", but I think of it as "momentum".
This trickery is so that I can justify going as slow as possible -- while still retaining enough energy to clear features and obstacles.
If you opt for this method you need to focus more on Trials skills than Racing prowess.
Modern BTB racers can jump over very impressive obstacles, often landing on bad runouts, and while this makes for exciting videos, it's not my ambition.
Just be careful NOT to go too slowly, loose momentum, stall out and wipe!
Enjoy the views that are now visible...........
