90% of my riding is by myself. All my friends my age figure they're too old/scared to ride DH. Plus there's not much to shuttle around here so I usually push up and just hang in the forest working on a line. Sucks when you want to try something new or really push speed. I always carry my cell phone in my pocket but there's no trail maps so it'd be a long, long wait for a rescue if I got mangled. It'd make for a real easy bear dinner...

always ride trails (up and down hills) alone

never freeride, dirt jump or downhill alone....

Likewise...Well...90% of the time im the same

freeriding, dirtjumping and downhill can be dangerous on your own...One bad off and your pretty f*cked tbh...
I only ever ride with 1 other person...sometimes 2 if the other CBA to come out Rolleyes

Half the time theyre both lazy now though so its just me

Not just that, but what about if you knock yourself unconscious, your pretty stuffed.
Or if your phone falls out of your pocket and your paralysed...
