What is bomb?
I keep hearing this term, "Bomb the mountain," it sounds like something Clinton and Bush did at odd intervals during their presidencies.
Not entirely sure what this means, as I've seen it separated out like "Whether you're going to bomb the mountain or just take a couple laps for a few hours..." etc, mostly on advertisements for different products (carry packs and CamelBaks).
Urban Dictionary also isn't helpful.

It's originally a professional wrestling term. From wikipedia:
The mtb term means the same thing - it's just done with a bike.
Mountain Bomb
The opponent runs towards the wrestler. The wrestler ducks, hooks one of the opponent's legs with one of his/her arms, stands up and falls backwards, flipping the opponent and driving him/her back first down to the mat, with the wrestler landing on top of the opponent.

It's where you ride down a hill really fast.
