FREERIDING & DOWNHILL

WARNING

FREERIDING AND OTHER FORMS OF “EXTREME RIDING” RE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. YOU CAN BE

SEVERELY INJURED OR KILLED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Freeriding, jumping, hucking, dirt jumping, mountaincross, downhill, slalom, slopestyle, urban or street

riding or other evolving forms of extreme or hard core mountain biking are inherently dangerous and can

lead to serious accidents. Wear all safety gear and be sure your bike is in excellent condition. Follow all the

instructions and warnings below. These steps will reduce, but not eliminate, the inherent risks. Even with

state of the art protective safety gear you could be seriously injured, paralyzed or killed. If you do not want

to take these risks, do not engage in this type of riding.

Fundamental Risk

Freeriding, jumping, hucking, dirt jumping, mountaincross, downhill, slalom, slopestyle, urban or street

riding. It seems that everywhere you look, from Mountain Dew® commercials to the X-Games® to the Red

Bull®Rampage, riders are grabbing big air and sticking sick drops. And it sure looks fun.

But what the videos and bike magazines and ads don’t always tell you is that extreme riding takes an

amazing amount of skill. Some of the riders you see are well-paid pros who have gradually built up their

skills through endless hours of practice, and who have also had their share of stitches, concussions and

busted bones (and bikes). Others are daredevils who have chosen to accept or ignore the risks. Would you

allow anyone to say that you are so weak in the head, and have such poor judgment that you copy those

you see in the media without thought of the serious risks?

The stakes are high if you screw up. Realize too late that you aren’t up to the challenge, and you run the

risk of major injury or even – say it aloud – death, paralysis. In short, extreme riding carries a high degree of

fundamental risk, and you bear the ultimate responsibility for how you ride and what you attempt to pull

o. Do you want to avoid these signiﬁcant risks? Then do not ride this way.

Product Limitations

Problems of pilot error aside, hard-core riding also beats the heck out of your equipment. Although we

build and test our bikes to make them tough, there’s no way that we can guarantee they’ll survive your

umpteenth six-foot drop. For starters, there is no industry “jumping” standard. The many circumstances

of takeo, landing, speed, rider technique, etc. are unique. The judgment, lack of judgment or insanity of

a rider who may ride a Cannondale bicycle cannot be completely predicted, so it’s ﬂat-out impossible to

predict how anyone’s equipment is going to hold up.
