Can someone explain the real differences between all the styles of rides and riders?

DH<<< Age groups and true riding styles and terrain.

Freeride<<< " "

DJ/Urb<<< ect.

4X<<<<<Ect.

Reason I ask is because I see people calling things two different names/styles each for four types of labels. Esp the bike manufs. I see companies calling a bike a freeride while another company calls theirs a Dj/Urb/street while the bikes are very similar.

How much of the influencs now is BMX vs MTB ???

Sorry to ask such a knobby question.

Click me.This is an excellent resource for the question you're asking. Although there are basic categories that different riding styles fit into, they often flow together and overlap, so you'll get mixed terminology.
