With that being said how in the hell can freeriding not be considered a form of cycling, freeriders pedal an object that has two wheels, a fork a frame a set of cranks, pedals, deraillieur and chain. What is that? It's a bike rookie, live with it. The Evolution of the sport is obviously light years ahead of your self created timeline.
