marshall1234 (Oct 1, 2011 at 11:57)

thats somewhere that you dont want to get a puncture and find out you dont have a spare tube... but at least you have a good view while youre walking your bike down the hill Razz

thgltch (Oct 1, 2011 at 12:03)

Or just take off your rear tire and ride if your fine with getting new rims

Taane (Oct 1, 2011 at 20:34)

good shot, but why is it in free riding?

connor-rix (Oct 1, 2011 at 20:53)

why not?

AdamLaycockPhoto (Oct 1, 2011 at 21:01)

2 seconds later, he turned left and went classic freeriding.

Taane (Oct 2, 2011 at 8:51)

riding down a grass meadow? yeah thats really pushing the limits of free riding.

AdamLaycockPhoto (Oct 2, 2011 at 11:05)

Thats what actual freeriding is though... Going down hills without an actual trail. This is just mellow.

TheOnesThatGotAway (Oct 1, 2011 at 9:09)

now we arre talking thats real mountain biking going up hill without getting off, no rush to go anywere just enjoying the scenary and enjoying the ride then watching the sun set before a beer in the nearest pub to cool you down before heading home thats real mountain biking, dont get me wrong i have great respect for down hill etc but you cant mess with the true mountain biking

Taane (Oct 1, 2011 at 20:35)

you can't call one form of the sport true mountain biking? true mountain bikers ride everything and have skill, fitness and the need for scenery?

TheOnesThatGotAway (Oct 6, 2011 at 8:58)

this is original mountain biking its how it started you never had the need to push because you had the physical capability to ride up hill! omg suprise suprise!!! bike uphill what is this i speak of..... plus MOUNTAIN means that weird increase in the angle of the land and BIKING is pedaling add those together and wow just like that your going up that strange bump on the earths surface. the other forms are "FORMS" meaning they are developments of the original which my austrailian friend is that up yonder. and the scenery is your reward for breaking a sweat, and yes everything does require skill and fitness glad you figured that much out for yourself. As an outsider, what do you think of the human race?

Taane (Oct 7, 2011 at 19:17)

Its just a photo bro. Dont have to write an essay about it.

TheOnesThatGotAway (Oct 30, 2011 at 3:05)

Taane (Oct 30, 2011 at 20:04)

TheOnesThatGotAway (Nov 5, 2011 at 3:52)
