What type of riding do you do and where?
 
Are you a XC rider? or do you bomb the downhill rides? Why do you like this style? Feel free to post where you ride, too.
I myself ride freeride/allmountain all Galbraith mountain, bellingham wa.

i like bicycle riding. i do it wherever i can, pretty much all over. i'm mostly a dowhiller when i'm riding my bike down a hill. i'm mostly a cross country rider when i'm riding my bike across the country. i'm also an uphiller, but only when i ride my bike up a hill. i'm a techy rider when i ride technical stuff. i'm a huge ***** when i walk stuff other people ride. i like to think of myself as a guy who has a bicycle and rides it. i ride mostly in colorado, and also in any other state i'm in when i have my bicycle.

^-- Well played... Around here, my educated guess is on the all-mountain side of XC. Super rooty and rocky terrain, with some pretty hairy technical sections at times. I don't say full XC because that's what's in Stillwater, where I went to school and learned to ride, and that's a bunch of nice, flowy trails by a lake (awesome scenery). I think I would love to do DH, but we are lacking slightly in mountains 'round these parts.

I call my favorite ride Parkour on a bike. I go in one direction and see what's in that direction and then return.

My rigid frame is tearing me apart, so I need to look for a full suspension bike.

I find people to walk up hill to ride downhill are completely weak. I took a trail up a mountain with a group of people yesterday. They all had $2000+ downhill bikes and I'm on a $50 rigid frame bike I bought a couple days ago. They walked up the mountain, I biked on my lowest gear. They started to slow me down so I took off trail and went directly to the top. I waited 2 hours for them to catch up. The downhill was fun, yet I was the second to last to get downhill because I had to watch what I did to not crash and destroy me and my bike.

I mostly like to do crawls too, just to pedal at the lowest gear and to look around like I'm on a scenic hike. I like to do this and follow rivers and every once and a while to bring a fishing pole and camping gear and stay a couple days

Well, I'm practically new(3 months) to the sport. Rode the other day El Yunque Rain Forest Trail and it was insane. But what I mostly ride is a very easy rooty rocky trail near my house.
