dirt jumping

Bicycle mound leaping

Dirt jumping is a form of mountain biking where riders launch off sculpted dirt mounds to perform aerial tricks and stunts.

The jumps are typically built in sequences, with takeoffs and landings shaped from packed earth.

Related to BMX freestyle but done on mountain bikes: The park has a dedicated dirt jumping area with tabletops and doubles.
