I'd have bought an Ebike back in '92 if bikes as good as mine had been around back then.

I still don't own any Enduro products though.

I don't know about all you young'un's and your weird names.
Back in the early 1970's, we rode up the hills then ripped the downhills.
Sometimes we even raced the downhill sections.
Hell, some of the trails were even parts of actual moto-cross tracks.

We called it <gasp> "Trail Riding"

I'm going to skip the e-mopeding and go straight to trying to turn pro at whatever that MTB video game was they were advertising every five minutes during the worlds broadcast.

I freeride.

You've probably never heard of it....
Speak of the devil, we did just that today. Rode way up an alpine valley to the box canyon at the end, then we hiked up the hillsides and rode down the bare tundra, jumping off natural features. Wasn't bad...'cept got a pinch flat a little while later and we couldn't fix it.

In slo-mo from today (not me, this is Seth on his Santa Cruz):


Both of us had pinch flats. I ended up hiking out about 5 miles back to the car.
