Me too. I also prefer most gravity sports. Well, ones that doen't require a parachute or bungee cord. Started out canoeing, moved to touring kayaking briefly, then spent the last three years whitewater kayaking. I started running class V this past year and realized the importance of having strong legs. Thus, the mountain bike purchase last month. It's a great off-season sport for whitewater kayakers. Here's a couple of my exploits from this Winter and Spring. I'm the guy who can't boof (Green Mamba) in the first one and I'm in the Yellow H3 in the second one. Where do you paddle?
