I'd love to start riding a bike more but I'll have to buy a new one since my old was was stolen.
I did a little bit of mountain biking at one time but i'm not the most physically fit person in the world to start with.

you can get a pretty cheap bike nowadays like $600 for a kona shred with disk brakes sus front and rear deraillers pretty solid little bike. mountain biking is actually pretty good excersize.

What happened to using your legs? I thought that was the concept behind a bicycle...

Yeah but when you're lazy your priorities change

When I was younger in scouts I always went mountain biking with my troop (I know it's really lame) and it left some amazing memories. I wish I could start it up again. But I don't think so because it would cost a lot and it doesn't seem like a sport I would get into.

I have done downhill on mount Kosciusko (highest mountain in Australia for those who dont know). Funnest shit ever, we hired out front & back suspension bikes full body armour n moto helmet for a few days.

yeah i do a bit of DH, tho my bike is shit... i go to Toys 'R' Us or Kmart and buy the cheapest peice of shit that has suspension. Then i thrash it and come back two or three months later and get a new one. I used to buy good ones but i found they only last about 3 times longer but they cost about 10 times more.

Its not massive, but i DH on this rocky as mountain called 'Devil's Peak' its fucking sick steep as and there are some pretty big drops and shit. Last time i went i dislocated _and_ sprained my ankle... still sore. i love downhilling

I got a bike, now I can get around. I messed up a couple tendons in my knee recently; maybe now I can ride the pain and stiffness away.

I mainly do all around riding but I have done some medium-grade downhilling.
