Chocolate LogWhat is Freeride?

Is this freeride?
Many have fumbled over the definition of what Freeride mountainbiking is really about. Most have failed. Some have marketed products using the name, others tried to claim it for themselves. I went in search of answers, and I found more than I had ever dreamed possible: Enlightenment.
It is a known fact that there are at least four known disciplines of mountain biking.
[...] it is a free-movement type of mountain biking. It is also popularly called as the Big Hit. Read on for more insights that unveil the mystical soul of the sport:
Anyone can just imagine what would ever happen to China- the bicycle capital of the world, if its entire people would learn how to freeride mountain bike.
Shimano would be bigger than Microsoft, and there'd be lots more red biking kit. And fewer Chinese people.
No free ride here.
GIRLS
Girls are no longer confined to reading books or playing with dolls because they too can now take a more physically demanding sport. THE NORTH SHORE [...] as soon as any biker will get to master the dexterity and proficiency required in conquering the North Shore course, he or she has just certified himself or herself as one of the toughest bikers at least in the world of mountain biking. FORUMS They've not visited this forum, we can assume. Ride free, brothers, and put down those dollies, sisters. And remember:
If mountain biking is getting you to the extreme, it is a good sign that you are in an exciting ride of your life.
More here. They also cover Latin Dance, which has many parallels with freeride. Post a comment |

"sport that will never fail to amaze anyone who will try it"
it's all true, you know. i'm often to be found upside down in a patch of small shrubs, 5 metres away from my bike looking amazed.
or do i mean slightly ashamed.
after further thought, i think they meant embarrass instead of amaze there.

Freeride is like doing a pooh whilst doing a hand stand, get it wrong and it could get messy.

What is a freerider?
Freeriders are people who sit bolt-upright on their bikes, wear baggy clothes, and look for high things to ride off of. If you think of your favorite mountain bike trail as a human body, freeriders are the people who focus on one tiny part of it. They are the ear, nose, and throat doctors, bikini waxers, and foot fetishists of the mountain biking world.
