Post where you ride, what you ride (jumps, ladders ect), favourite trails whatever
 
Because of my work schedule, i usually ride the whistler park a lot, this year I haven't been out as much as i would like though. I also ride squamish, was on gear jammer last week, lots of fun stuff there, nothing too crazy. When i was in Vancouver i use to ride the shore a lot, upper oil can and ladies only on fromme were two of my favs. unfortunately i haven't rode there for a couple years but this year i will for sure.
 
I like to ride single track, steep, technical trails but really don't care what i ride as long as i ride.

 i told myself i'd ride alot of trails.  thats a lie.  all i wanna ride now is park

i like fast, jumpy trails.  as well as slow, tech ones too.  im basically stoked as long as i get to ride my bike down the hill.  i need to try to get on some trails again.  but its so convenient to have the lift take me up hills.

i also plan to head out to the shore at least once this summer.  it sounds like it'd be TONS of fun... and would scare the shit out of me... my kind of stuff

I'm down with the funky Buddha flow.

Mainly trails, but with some kickers, or a jump park/bmx track will also do, as well as decent urban sessions... My fav place in NZ to ride is at Redwoods Forest, in Rotorua. Great trails, jumps, etc... well worth checking out!!! Mammoth Mtn has been a place I've raced (Mammoth Kamakazie DH), & a few trails around Oregon...
 
Here's some NZ sites to look at/check out...

I ride the Keystone area, ride trails.  I just started mountainbiking.  I am strong in the legs, but a big pussy on some decents.  They have a small mountain bike park across the street from me.  I dick around over there frequently.  Hit the small stuff for now.
 
I wanted to start last summer but never bought a bike.  I like my cheap mountain bike.  I gets me to work too.

Ima trying real hard to make it to Whistlah early in September we'll see how things work out i guess, but its hard. IVe been quite happy building my own shuttle-able trail here from the Base of the Tramway station here in town. its mostly flowy single track dh stylee but ima put in some droppy's and build up some natural features a little more. i dunno.

I usually ride whsitler mountian, and the trails around the town, as well as squamish. and once my friend gets his drivers licence, we will be hitting up seymour and fromme.
 
my kind of trails are the technical ones, i love those. i also love the skinnies. i cant get enough of that stuff. but then again, riding down A-line is another rush i love.
i also used to do a bit of trial riding, which i guess ever biekr who lives in a city has done, but it was wrecking my bike, so ive slowed down on that.
 
the only thing i dont really do is those dirt parks, and ive never been in the bone yard.

Gillard, Postil, Powers, Silverstar.

Kelowna is becoming a mtn bike mecca.

My favorite type riding is best described as super tight, super tech, stunts with magnatude, fast and flowy.  The ability to hold top speed and punp though a trail is important to me.  I see trail the same way I see skateparks, every obsticle has the potential for style and flow.

I really dislike a-line style trails that you could drive a truck down, jumps or not.

i normally ride willis point and mount washington, .. coombs is pretty fun too... but i did do some mountain biking in newzealand and that was crazy epic... got me out of straight downhilling.  I like riding out away from everything where its just like you and the trail.

i ride wherever eryn takes me, and whatever she gives me.
 
... damn that sounded wrong. what i mean to say is... i borrow eryn's bike when we go biking together, and i let her choose all the trails, because i really have no idea what i'm doing yet. but it sure is fun.
on my way to hell in a handbasket, who wants a ride?

I ride Palmer Lake, Colorado mostly (because the trail-head is a mile from my love's house).  I love Crested Butte, and I like to ride Woodland Park too.

Mostly on Burnaby Mountain and the Sunshine Coast, and occasionally the North Shore when I am feeling frisky.
