	Downhill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"Downhill skiing" is also commonly a term synonymous with "alpine skiing" to denote the sport and recreational activity of alpine skiing in general.
		A typical downhill course begins at or near the top of the mountain on a piste that is closed off to the public and groomed specially for the race.
		In all forms of downhill, both at a local youth-level as well as the higher FIS international level, racers are allowed extensive preparation for the race, which includes daily course inspection and discussion with their coaches and teammates as well as several practice runs before the actual race.

	Downhill techniques -- cross country skiing -- Roberts
		Find a wide-open, very gentle downhill slope with a long flat (or uphill) section at its bottom, and no obstacles in its midst or any place you might go into them if you fell or slid or turned in an unexpected direction.
		A shortcoming with this approach nowadays is that the design of alpine downhill ski equipment has become so specialized for easy turning that it does not force you to learn some basic moves needed to get cross country skis to turn reliably.
		And the "telemark" is the downhill move with the least relevance to effectively controlling your steering or speed on groomed cross country trails.

	Training for Mountain Running
		In downhill running, these contractions occur in the quadriceps muscles (upper front of the leg) when the forces through these muscles become very large, particularly as the foot lands on the ground, and can be as much as three times the body weight.
		The best form of preparation is to actually practise downhill surges over the course to be used for the race, as this allows refinement of technique over different slopes and surfaces, testing of maximum speed at critical sections, and positive self-imagery to be built up.
		Initial workouts should desirably be downhill bursts over short distances of the order of 50 to 80 metres and not at full speed in order to provide transitional adaptation to eccentric contractions over three or four workouts.

	Downhill Domination Preview - PlayStation 2 News at GameSpot
		Downhill Domination, in development for roughly 16 months so far, attempts to capture the key elements of the sport and distill them into an accessible experience.
		The graphics in Downhill Domination are crisp and detailed, thanks to Incog's use of a tweaked version of War of the Monsters engine.
		Still, Downhill Domination has shown a lot of promise so far, and Incog should be able to put all the finishing touches on the game in time for its release this summer on the PlayStation 2.

	Downhill Training
		The trouble most runners at Western run into with the downhills is that they get lulled into hammering those gentle downgrades the first 45 miles or so, so that by the time they get to the river (78 mi.), their legs are mush.
		I have always considered downhill running ability as the most important aspect of competitive running, but I cringe when I hear the suggestion to "trash the quads" as a means of downhill muscle conditioning.
		I consider downhill running as a skill as opposed to conditioning, and the primary objective is to achieve maximum efficiency at the highest possible speed.

	Downhill Domination Review for PS2 on GamePro.com
		It's neither inaccurate nor an insult to call Downhill Domination "SSX on dirt." Not only do players choose one of 14 characters and careen down 27 enormous international mountains while busting tricks, smacking opponents, and collecting power-ups, but the controls are nearly identical, too.
		Downhill Domination features an incredible sensation of speed and a canted camera that will make you leave your stomach at the top of the mountain.
		Downhill mountain biking is relentlessly fast, extremely dangerous, and not for the faint of heart.

	Gamebiz PS2 - Downhill Domination Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		So, after such a long wait, all of you BMX fans might be excited about the recent release of Downhill Domination on the PlayStation 2, but if youâre looking for a realistic portrayal of the sport, youâd better turn back now.
		Downhill Domination puts a wacky spin on BMX, just like the SSX series does to snowboarding; the characters are outgoing and carefree, you can pull off some of the most ridiculous trick combinations ever and the huge tracks are designed with enjoyment in mind rather than realism.
		One second youâll be streaming through a deadly thunderstorm, lightning igniting trees all around you, and the next, after travelling hundreds of metres further down the mountain, youâll be splashing through a group of steaming pools filled with Japanese citizens.

	IGN: Downhill Domination Review
		The timing is strange, and the subject matter, a downhill mountain biking game, especially from a developer well known for its sense of depravity, destruction and, even violence, is well, a little off-putting.
		Free Ride is an open course, free of competitors and time restraints; Technical Downhill presents various kinds of specialist challenges, narrow courses, multiple obstacles, etc.; and Mountain Cross, a motocross-style set of races, is designed with wide, short courses and more jumping possibilities.
		From running water, be it a stream, waterfall or river, to the flurry of animated objects on screen -- from elk, polar bears, deer, vehicles and hikers, all of which you can hit or be hit by -- to lighting and other weather conditions, the game is wildly kinetic.

	Michelle Dumaresq - Champion Downhill Mountain Bike Racer
		Bike racing at the world cup level is a very expensive endevour, a typical downhill bike costs over $5000 dollars, athlete's require support of sponsors and I could never have made it without them.
		I had received my new downhill bike only days before this event so I was happy to take the first win of the season.
		One notable difference this year is the lack of attention of the media, not that I'm complaining, it's nice to come home after winning a race and not have to field calls from reporters asking me to justify myself again and again.

	Downhill Domination Review - PlayStation 2
		Downhill Domination is the name of the game, a PlayStation2 release from Sony Computer Entertainment America, Inc., and Incog Inc. Entertainment, not only is it a very good-looking ride down well-detailed mountains, but the game features elements of combat and an adrenaline-pumping soundtrack.
		This is a game that is based on downhill mountainbike action, not just racing down perilous paths, filled with wandering hikers and wildlife, but in performing tricks for points as you soar off improbable jumps into the treacherous landing zones somewhere below.
		Downhill Domination is about speed, control verging on chaotic risks, and fun.

	Downhill Domination (Playstation 2) Review at RewiredMind.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		With this in mind, it was always going to be likely that we'd be looking at the new benchmark in extreme mountain biking, so we'll remember that should any other company decide to release a competitor this side of 2010.
		These basically all equate to straight-up racing on differently modified courses, with advancement to the next track being earned by winning the current race by fair means or foul.
		In fairness, the pure, unadulterated speed of Downhill Domination means that you won't really have time to pay attention to those voices, as obstacles pop up in front of you at such an alarming rate that we could trot out the old “twitch gaming” phrase that never makes much sense.

	Amazon.com: Downhill: The Life Story of a Gravity Goddess: Books: Marla Streb (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Downhill chronicles her life before racing-her training as a classical pianist, bicycling throughout Europe with her companion turned boyfriend Marc, crisscrossing the country in a battered polka-dotted VW bus, and, perhaps the defining moment of her life, the loss of her brother.
		As she recounts her experiences with humor and grit, Marla Streb reinforces for all readers the need to abandon everything to pursue what you love and to live passionately.
		So Marla Streb begins "The Life Story of a Downhill Gravity Goddess." Anybody, who's maybe lived a little bit, poked around in the dark for more years than necessary, doing what never felt right in the first place, will be able to cord right away with Marla's feeling lost, then feeling lost no more.
