not sure how much of the title will show up...

when I ride my mtn. bike on the trails (which isn't very often) I feel like I'm playing a video game and every little obsticle gets me points.

like a rock in the middle of the path, gotta ride over it.
log, roots or dead animal, gotta ride over it.

and if I pass something and don't hit it, I get negative points. I don't have a point system though, so I never know if I get the high score or not.

I don't even play video games....

unless I'm on my mtn. bike.

anyone else feel this way?

I was saying the same thing yesterday on a training ride, except it was because every time there was a blind corner, WHAM there were always hikers coming around it, just as if they were put there to scare the crap out of you like in one of those driving games :D

hikers give you special points, but only if clear them cleanly.

You only get 3 crashes per ride that is unless of course you get extra life.
