35 - "aggressive XC" - I have to keep up with everyone else who is riding full-squish, road, daily commute in traffic, SS rigid mtn
Over the years I've become wiser, so I don't crash as much, and switching from FS to HT has improved my skills considerably.

I'm 28 and I explain my style as cross stuntery. Long rides with drop and bridges and long log rides. The people I ride with use 6-7-8 inch travel bikes on our 2-3 hour rides, AND we ride super fast. Hartails need not apply.

15 here and love downhill mixed with a bit of light freeride. Strangely enough I ride up to the DH tracks (I don't like uphills) (1 hour of riding uphill) when I could save myself 30 minutes of those by taking the funicular. Strange. To cap it off, FR/DH.

33. Guess it would be XC, be it on my rigid SS or full squishy. I also commute on a road bike converted to fixed gear, and own a road bike for long distance riding.

32 - Mostly XC/All Mountain - depending where and who I am riding with. I don't huck, but will do drops up to 6 feet or so, when on the right bike.
I do try and go '' super fast '' most of the time, but hardtails can apply. ?
