{"product_id":"2940013160774","title":"Technical Down Hill Mountain Biking","description":"The key to down hilling is relaxing your upper body.\u003cbr\u003eThe steeper and rockier the hill is, the more tightly the rider tends to put a death grip on the handle  bars.  Most riders tend to slow down as they approach obstacles such as rocks, then apply both brakes.  \u003cbr\u003eIf you don't apply your brakes, the rock will stop your wheel.  This isn't good, as the rock can throw you off balance and completely kill any type of  momentum you have. \u003cbr\u003eRelaxed riders won't slow down as much.  The combination of extra momentum, no front braking at crucial moments will allow the wheel to bump over the rock and continue onward with little effort.\u003cbr\u003eIf you are going slow, it's essential to release your brakes as much as possible when you approach an obstacle.  This may entail going a bit faster, although the result is much less painful.  On steep hills, going really slow will always make things much more difficult.","brand":"unique5stardeals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079209140464,"sku":"2940013160774","price":4.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013160774_p0.jpg?v=1763577376","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013160774","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
