Mei Englisch war und ist zwar net grad das Beste aber das wäre mein Vorschlag:
Downhill is one of the fastest growing segments of mountainbiking.
Over the last 15 years the level of development experienced an incredible enhancement which (oder that?) also affected track-design and riding style. Due to the high demands on material, full-suspension with about 8 inches of travel, hydraulic disk brakes and chainguides are standard today.
Since durability is essential the weight of a state of the art downhill-bike reaches from 16 to 20 kgs and can cost over 6000€. Some prototypes are even more expensive.
For several reasons, especially frame geometry, gear ratio and weight a downhillbike is not suitable for riding uphill. Therefore the rider uses a gondola or an alternative shuttle service to get to the start of the track.
Mehr hat imho in einer Einleitung nix verloren. Außer natürlich worums beim downhill überhaupt geht.

Die Kunst ist, einmal mehr aufzustehen, als man umgeworfen wird.
