How old are you?
 

Well idk about anyone else but it just strikes my curiousity how old the people on here are....i'm 19, freshman at PSU.

17

And I love to freeride. I hate X-country. I can't see how so many people are into X-country?

xc makes u work.

18, xc rider.

27

Pinkbike much?

31, I dh, fr, xc, little djing. Whatever floats my boat that day.

Same here. 22

Pinkbike is awesome

33 in 2 months

15, cross country. I don't see how FR/DH could be fun, you wouldn't have to work as much ;) :p For some reason, I love events that tax your legs and lungs to the max. Screw the big air and 8" supension.

47 and just beginning on a Mountain bike.

Ya, thats what I thought.

If I had the money for a fr bike I'd like to try that. Until then, xc is ok.

The adrenaline and the rush is what makes FR/DH the best. I just think that big air and tricks is awesome and makes the sport very interresting. I love how, back in 99/00 mountain biking was basicly nouthing. The air that people were getting in the first NWD was next to nouthing and the tricks were also limited to nouthing and how the top of the line mountain bikes had 50 mills of travel and little tiny weak frames. And now, 6-7 years later theres freeriders dropping off 50-60 foot cliffs and jumping massive gaps, and how now the best top of the line mountain bikes have 200mill of travel and are as strong as a truck and have parts on them that is more complex and stronger than a most parts on a vehicle. I love how the sport is rapitly growing and expanding. I even can't wait till 07 to see Norcos new bikes, for example. I love the sport!

19, Urban Freeride...and maybe dirt jumping if I ever get around to finding/making some.

I am not going to argue but you really have no clue what you are talking about. If anything the freeride scene is going smaller. Back then almost everyone was hitting 30+ with 45 for the top 2 or 3 and 54ft attempted. There is a very small handfull left going 30 ft plus. Most drops are sitting in the 20 to 30 ft range and people are styling it out. That entire paragraph reads like you haven't actually seen nwd, kranked or nsx.

There has never been a successful 50+ft drop completed. Show me the vid where it happens and I might believe you. It was very easy within a couple of posts to see you came from pinkbike...

39 for about 3 more weeks. I just ride.......a lot. I think what rocky rider is talking about has been beat to death on here. That's so middle school/pinkbike.

I think overall the mtb sport as a whole is growing. As in the every day person is getting into biking more than before. As far as xtreme freeride I wouldn't know. But watching nwd 6 and retrospective sure gets me pumped :)

Dude I would never have guessed you were 39...wow.

I see that Gastro :D

He's 17 y/0 and talking about the old days

24, xc

Guess it's time for 66 to be a moderator eh.

Yeah, mtnbiker66 is a fossil. In fact he walks with a cane when he's not shredding on his bike.

And Mael, sometimes I hate having a sponsor's name in my sig...
