i was reading a post in another forum and i was wondering what category we "generally" fall into. myself, i'm hardly a pure XC rider (as scott and alex will attest to) but i'm not a downhill guy either. i try to ride everything from rollers to rock to logs. pretty much the same way i started out riding more than 15 years ago when i got my pretty, purple trek antelope 850. where do you see yourself? i guess i'm an all mountain guy? i have no clue. i thought i was just a mountain biker. 😕
