Man, it's been awhile since I've even ridden a bike. But when I was younger, me and my family would go ride on trails, and that was fun. Unfortunately, I always had to go at the same speed as my parents, 'cause I was young, and they didn't want me getting too far ahead of them, so I could never go as fast as I wanted to. But me and my friend used to go riding all the time in the neighborhood behind us and it was lots of fun.

Ohh yea. Been biking for 13 years, worked in a bike shop for 5 years. Live 5-6 hours from Whistler (best biking ever). I ride a Specialized SX Trail (the good one with a Marzocchi 66 fork and 5th Element rear) and a Giant single speed that I built from the frame up with free parts (Thomson stem/seatpost, easton handlebar, wtb seat, avid brakes, specialized dh tires, and a sweet red chain):)

I believe it's 6" front and 6.5" rear. The 66 is great, but the 5th element is amazing since you can set the damping to be progressive. Mine is super-soft at the beginning of the travel and ramps up nicely so that you can't even feel gravel but it won't bottom out on big drops (tested up to 7 feet), and it has a pedalling platform so I can actually climb the thing.

My single-speed, surprisingly fun on the trails. About 15lbs lighter than my dualie, gotta work it over bumps and it's fun not thinking about shifting... back to the basics. I need to swap that fork for a rigid one though.

Mountain Bikes have been my number one passion since I was 12. I'm not 18 and I love them even more. I have a few custom built and test bikes...but I just recently got a Iron Horse 7 series. I just love it. I sorta dropped gaming, like I have a computer and I keep up to date with whats going on, but I'm not on here 24/7 anymore. I want to get a PS3 and/or 360 and just game on there and be done with it.

I love biking, city biking to be more specific, weaving in and out of traffic, racing cars, jay walking at a high speed. jumping off curbs and jumping on them, riding down stairs as short cuts, weaving in and out of pedestrian traffic, all done with confidence and precision, it is exhilirating. I wish I had time to do it more often though

Yeah, that's. I love being out on the trails but street riding is great too. I also love skate parks.

It's a good thing to do either just before or just after gaming so that you don't get fat!!!

I love biking, taking a cool shower after a long ride is probably my favorite part about it. haha Only part i can think of that i dislike are the random things that'll hit you in the face, like a mosquito in the eye that's the worst.

I know! That hurts! I usually go mountain biking while it's raining so there aren't many mosquitos, luckily.
