One tribe where the relaxed and rebellious attitude of early DH racers lives on in spirit is Dirt Jumpers.
These people are happy to head off deep into the woods to build sets of jumps knowing full well that once the landowner discovers them they’ll be levelled, but still go ahead and do it anyway. They’ve taken the spirit of early downhill racers and mixed it with the laid back look of BMX. Baggy shorts and trade tops have been traded for jeans and T-shirts, the peaked helmet swapped for a piss pot lid.
