I've been a mountain biker for 19 years now and have mountain biked and lived all over the world (US, CA, NZ, and CR). I've covered the industry as an insider for hcor.net, been to Interbike numerous times.
I’ve seen the evolution of the sport and its equipment before my eyes. I have participated in variety of cycling sports, including DH, freeriding, XC, and road biking. Mountain biking has taken me to locales like NJ, NY, CT, MA, PA, NC, SC, VT, WA, UT, BC, and New Zealand.
I've owned/extensively used thirty bikes from sixteen different manufacturers over the years (28 MTBs, 1 road bike, and 1 commuter) but I've never had more than 5 at once and some have lasted me as long as 6 years.
In 2007 I helped build my friend Pete from Wellington, NZ a new bike (Red Turner Spot) and took him on a 3 week MTB tour of Northeast US he told me it was a trip of a lifetime for him (the photos get more interesting as towards the middle but are in no particular order). Most of the better photos were taken by friends and often we didn't take photos at all at some destinations (me and Pete agreed its better to flow than to stop all the time for photos):
