 you have no life...

 why because i think MOUNTAIN bikes should not be riden like a bmx, like a foot jam on a MOUNTAIN bike is hiddious, mountian bike should stay on the MOUNTAIN.

 The same way as BMX's should stay out of SKATEparks? You're an idiot for thinking that. Let people ride what they want.

 bmx is a skate park influenced sport so naturally bmxs are going to be in skate parks weather ppl like it or not. but what i dont like to see is a mtn biker trying soo hard to do bmx tricks ina stake park or in the streets. just dosnt fit. it isnt like bmxers go up and try to rip some DH or huck some huge 30 foot step down or something like that, now thats mountain biking.

 Man, if you dont like to see this, dont watch the freakin videos...

 BMX is skatepark influenced? I believe BMX's were originally created for racing, so technically someone took a BMX and used it for something that it wasn't meant for (kinda like your opinion of MTB's riding street and park). Which is still stupid as you're comparing BMX with a differant type of mountainbiking (as even I think using a full sus, front and rear braked DH bike to ride park is stupid).

 [katol] i kinda have to watch the videos to see whats inthem, cant judge a book by its cover right??

[charge rider] yes BMX was made for racing but bmx is limited to the streets(and dirt jumps) but when bmx started to evolve into a free style sport skate parks where just perfect thing for the free style aspect of BMXing. and look how alike bmx only park looks are compared to skate only park.... pritty much the same thing . mountain bikes were not created for what they are used for today,but it evolved just as bmx did but what im trying to get at is like why not ride a BMX in the parks and the street and ride a mtn bike in the mountain /slopestyle type riding.and i wasnt talking about riding fulys in the park i was talking about any mtnbike esspesaly ones with little or no suspention and small wheels and no brakes.... like why not a bmx.

 Man, lets just stop 'cuz obviously were not getting anywhere. Let people ride what they want and that way every one will let you ride what you want (and wherever).

 Denis, you do realize that you contradicted yourself... You mentioned the word progression. This is a progression for all types of mountain bikers. Since there is no DH in the winter time I know tones of Elite level racers that ride skatepark in the winter time as a type of training.

You also realize that mountainbikers have been riding street/skatepark/dirtjumps since the 90's? Shaums March, Kirt Vories, etc are perfect examples. Have you ever watched Jib? Classic mtb movie where guys are ripping street on their full on DH bikes. Don't hate on what people are riding dude, the two wheel love should be spread around evenly to everyone regardless what size wheels they ride and where they are riding. Who knows, but maybe you're just jealous that you don't have the steez and skills of this guy....
