Good response a2psyklnut. I ride a hardtail and do technical singletrack which can include any of the following:
1.hillclimbs
2.steep downhills (the kind that puts you behind the saddle)
3. switchbacks
4. logpiles
5. rockbeds

It seemes as if most people are switching to freeriding because they are against climbing on hills.

I don't consider myself a freerider because I don't ride a full suspension bike. I say this because people thin that because they ride a full suspension bike, it automatically makes them a freerider. Maybe I'm overthinking.:confused:
