What bike do u ride, hardtail, full suspension, all mountain, freeride, dh, and what brand?
 
you sound like someones mom who is desperately out of touch with her children.
 
I enjoy xc mountain biking. I ride in Helena, MT's south hills trail system which is pretty fun to ride on.
 
I ride/race XC in Minnesota.

I ride a Cannondale 29er, and in a month I'm buying a Giant Composite XTC 1 29er. Needless to say, I am excited out of my mind.
 
I LOVE TO MOUNTAIN BIKE!

But seriously, I'll be doing mostly DH this season because I have to sell my XC rig to afford a new DH bike which I already bought and now am $800 in debt to my parents. I'll be working again pretty soon though so paying them back won't take long. And I need the money I make this summer for college.
 
i ride a stumpjumper fsr comp from last season out here in bozeman. pretty new to the whole sport so i haven't tried my hand at any dedicated downhill, but biking is entirely too much fun. never thought i'd find something as awesome as skiing until it came around. now if only both sports weren't crazy expensive...
 
Downhill freeride! I have a specialized stumpjumper full supension. Fork is roc shox and back is Fox
 
If you're new and in Bozeman get a book called "Montana Singletrack." Its a guide book that features 50 different rides all over the state, and most of the rides are pretty sick. Its more of an XC book but it has some super sick rides near Bozeman and all over the state that have incredible downhills.
 
I too enjoy in the activity of mountain bicycling.

I just did the inaugural of the MINNESOTA high school MTB league, and that was pretty bitchin.

I rode a trek marlin 2011 29r hardtail, was kinda shitty but now I'm getting a Specialized Carve 29r this week, obviously hardtail. Super stoked!

the season's about to start, ready to go hard...

ANY MINNESOTA peeps doing the whole series?
 
Sweet, man! I almost bought a Jamis Dragon One SS last year. I want to try the SS way of life, but I need to try it out first for sure, and it isn't in the budget right now.
 
dj, freeride, dh, xc at Moscow mountain and beacon, build some of my own trails, 2008 Giant Glory 0 and Specialized p2
 
I also ride/race in MN.

My beloved bike used to be a specialized 29er rockhopper which I upgraded with a rockshox recon gold fork, and Easton EA70 wheels. This winter I bought a HT carbon stumpjumper frame and shimano XT components. I am fucking stoked for the race season this summer.
 
love mountain biking, i have giant anthem and specialized demo, and hopefully building up either a transition bandit or Santa Cruz blur tr soon. I ride a lot of xc/trails with school but i hate xc races not because I'm unfit I just find them really boring and annoy to compete in.I also ride dh which is what i enjoy most.
 
I am definitely jelly of this.

Currently riding everything oregon has to offer, in the summer im out most weekends in Bend, Post Canyon, or Sandy Ridge
 
Havent been biking in like 8 months but gunna try to go out soon. Downhills were its at but scary as fuck when your about to crash. Your going down hard.
 
I ride a 2007 Yeti 575. I do xc all around colorado then dh at keystone occasionally. I am looking to get a full dh bike but they are so damn expensive.
 
Living in Florida I'm very limited with the trails but I have found one sweet trail that probably sucks compared to anything you guys ride. Anyone ever venture down here and hit trails in the central Florida area?
 
I picked up a santa cruz tallboy lt last summer. I ride xc and am starting to try to do some enduro races, Mainly ride in seattle and colorado springs with a few trips to fruita and moab each year
 
I am. Been finding some, but it always helps to have someone who has ridden em before rather than driving an hour and a half to ride some shit trail that blows donkey dick.
 
I haven't had a bike in a few years now. Went from tons of street riding on mtb's (Planet-X and Black Market Riot) and a bmx, but then basically stopped riding. I'm looking at getting an all mountain FS bike now and am probably going to pick up a Banshee Rune. I can't wait!
 
do a little freeride and a tiny bit DH, but we only have a few short tracks really DH-like.

but i rode close to "professional" (not money-wise obviously) when i was 15-19 or so in XC. never did much races because i didnt like the whole atmosphere. its so much more fun to just ride 4-5 hours alone around the wonderful nature here in austria witout seeing anybody. kind of "get away", relax, but still work out and push your body/find your limit.
 
Fruita and Moab are really fun places for mountain biking. Some of my favorite trails for sure.
 
I ride a Banshee legend, Ibis mojo and a Dobermann mollosse. I'm racing the full quebec cup and a couple ontario cups of DH this summer, as well as some trips to bromont, ste anne, kingdom trails and highland NH. Yeah, I loves mah bikes, LOVES MAH BIKES.
 
if you have the time stop by sunday river. Its technical and will kick your ass but the trails are maintained and aren't let to be washed away. The people are also great to ride with and they are welcome to ride with anyone. If you do go bring lots of beer, we keep a public beer cooler at the bottom of the lift, you put in beer you get beer of whatever variety is in there. Mostly micro brews that are ipa.
