what is the age of everyone that is in this sport? i only ask because i always thought it as a younger kinda person sport but the more i look around the more i see that it has all kinds of ages in it. also if u want what kinda biking do u do

Im 20 and i just started to be serious about the sport and think im more of a XC/Freeride guy.

Hope to here from lots of people!!!!!

The nice thing about MTB is that it is so individualized, that even 60 year old scrubbers can go rail the trail. It seems that youth gravitate towards the DH, FR while us more aged lean towards the weight weeniedom and SS. It's a big inclusive umbrella.

I'm 34, do "aggressive" XC riding I guess and have been riding MTB since 92. BMX in the late 70's early 80's, back when Haro was a rider.

When I grow up, I hope to be a 60 year old scrubber railing trails.

I'm 33 and I've just gotten back into riding about 2-3 weeks ago. I had a FS bike that I did mostly XC a few years back, but I got a hardtail this time around since I felt the other bike was overkill for me. I've been riding bikes since I could pedal a BMX around town back when I was a kid.

I'm back into cycling primarily because it's a fun way to get the family out together to share in fun rides on paths. Hitting the trails is a nice extra benefit for me.

ill be 20 in july, ive been riding since about 2000. I really started riding all the time about 2 years ago. I like all mountain riding, a little mix of everything. It's funny that Mr. P mentioned being older and being a weight weenie. 3 of us around the same age all ride together all the time, and we sound like weight weenies, always complaining about our 35-40 # bikes, talking about how cool it would be to ride a 20# bike up the hills around here.....We just can't afford to be weight weenies

This summer, hopefully, I'll get a dh bike, and a dj hardtail. I like all the different types of (26" wheel) 2 wheel riding.

I'm 16, I started riding last year when I joined my HS mountain bike team. Was a non-factor last racing season, over summer started road biking, now I'm 17 points out of the leaders jersey w/ one race to go. I'm definetly not a freeride/DH rider. hardcore leg-shaving XC for me!
