Hey guys. I am researching different disciplines of mountain biking for a college assignment, as I want some people on here to help me with my 'primary research' by filling out a short questionnaire (sp?).
Thanks guys.
Survey: Age: Your chosen discipline of MTB: How long have you been riding that discipline: Why did you start riding:
Thanks in advance guys, I know there are already a few threads like this, but I need it to be MY research.
Age: 16 Your chosen discipline of MTB: DJ How long have you been riding that discipline: 3 years Why did you start riding: Friend brought an X-rated, and we thought jumping it was fun, then somehow we all got into it
Age:17 Your chosen discipline of MTB: DJ and freeride. How long have you been riding that discipline: like 3 years now i think Why did you start riding: because my friends started
16 Freeride, Xc and DH Freeride and Dh 2 years xc like 6-8 started it as fun/ excercise with friends but i prefer tricky stuff and i hate hills and i got a good dh/freeride bike
Age: 17 Your chosen discipline of MTB: starting 4x, bmx and street this year, used to do light fr and dh How long have you been riding that discipline:fr and dh 3 years... everything else like 4 months Why did you start riding: i have a treck to get to school in the morning by bike and it goes over the downs (which are actually up.. go figure) so tehre were some nice dh runs off there then i started finding my own routes street, because i had a dodgy crash last year and its much cheaper and more of my mates are into it
Age:20 years riding:4, possibly five. not sure Discipline:just trails and digging, nothing else anymore. bored of dh, its not that fun anymore. why i started: friends did it, boredom.

Age: 15 Your chosen discipline of MTB: dj/fr/ dh/ xc How long have you been riding that discipline: 5 years since i got into it Why did you start riding: On holiday with family and saw people riding xc, and thought wow. It gives me something to do and lets me see places i wouldnt ordinarily.
Age: 17 Your chosen discipline of MTB: Downhill/Freeride/EXTREME XC (if that counts) How long have you been riding that discipline: 2 1/2 years this month. Why did you start riding: Needed to find a sport which my messed up knee wouldnt complain about. Also being in the outdoors alot when I was young, I always saw people riding Mountain bikes so gave it a try and hey presto, it rules
