Mountain biking is getting more and more popular, two of the fasest growing displines are duel slalom and BSX (bicycle supercross).  These two events are all about psycho speeds, massive air, and huge wipeouts.  In duel there are two or more riders, and one track basically its the first nutter to the bottom wins.  BSX is similar but there are usually four riders,  the jumps are often bigger (but not always).  An average duel slalom/BSX bike usually has a 14-16" frame, a fairly long travel fork (usually single crown),some sort of chain device (eg MRP),  a short stem and  a 36-46 tooth front chainring.
