For as long as there have been mountain bikes, mountain bike riders have gone up to come back down. Energy spent on the climb is returned, plus interest, when the bike and the rider turn downhill. Some riders use their own two legs to power the climb to the top. Others opt for a more effort-efficient way of getting to the top to optimize and prioritize the descent. The use of trucks or chair lifts to assist their journey allows them to save all of their energy for the adrenaline-filled descents that many riders yearn for. The majority of these uplifts are devoted to downhill and all-mountain style bikes crammed into the back of a pick-up truck resting on the down tubes.
