Fast, flowy DH. Because flying through the woods as fast as you can, just going with the flow with a great song in your head, is one of the most awesome feelings ever.

Park--  fun with jump lines and pumptracks

Urban-- stairs and drops freak the f out of people

hike and descend---

clearly my favorite, i love riding places where imminent danger is present like the Indian Ladder trail, shits gnar waterfalls rocks drops and death if you go off the trail

as much as i would want to do fast, flowy downhill or some freeride, ive never had the chance to and i never will have the chance to do it regularly.

i love relatively fast, flowy xc/trail riding. thats whats available to me and its great riding/exercise

flowy, long, jump trails. as good as it gets. if anyone has ridden sandy ridge trails near mt hood, I could ride the lower section of the main trail for a week and not get bored.

XC, setting a nice pace and cruising uphill can be a great feeling.

I love XC mountain biking. I've never ridden another discipline, but I really love XC. I love going fast, but also riding really technical trails. Skinnies are too much fun to ride, too.

Also, in a month, she'll be mine. I cannot wait.

this. jumps can be fun if you have the right bike for them, but straight up DH pump tracks are unmatched

I love riding asphalt, like to school and stuff. its pretty cool because everyone digs my 1989 fuji hard tail and nose with commuter tires. not to mention plastic splashgyards and cargo rack, #yotite
