those bikes do weigh about 250 lbs though which would make him speed up alot faster then a mtn bike. plus alot more force hitting the ground.

All things fall at equal rate

r u sure on that one?

Yes, it's basic physics. Weight doesn't make something fall any faster. It's wind resistance. If you have a 100 lb ball and a 1 lb ball, they would fall at the same speed.

then why would a 100lb bowling ball make a louder sound when it hit the ground than the one if the speed is the same?

well even if its not falling faster there is still an extra 200lbs of force hitting the ground which makes a big difference.
