We have bikes you have owned, now what types of riding have you done or still do?
I started doing BMX in 1980. Raced from 1980 until 1999.
I started doing BMX freestyle in 1982. I still do that from time to time. Now it's skatepark, street, dirtjumping or whatever.
BMX street riding became super huge in 1990, so I got way into that. I shredded downtown and the U of M 5 or so nights a week for most of the 90's with friends from TC BMX and some of the professional teams and riders in our area.
I learned to ride a unicycle in 1997, but then never owned one and never did it again.
My first MTB experience was in 1987 and I didn't like it. I had a bike that felt like a road bike, and I was trying to get RAD on it. In 1987, we got RAD on stuff.....:).
I started racing MTBs in 1994 and still do some races when I feel like it.
I got my first trials bike in 1988 and have played around with that ever since. But I never got super serious about it.
In 2003, I got my first freeride bike, my P.2 and started doing that. Not sure if you can say started. I converted my Mid 90's Kona into a freeride type bike and did dual slalom, some downhill, and jumped it some. Parts were not too strong then....so I was a bit scared.
Now I still ride my BMX bike at the skatepark and around town from time to time. I ride singlespeed XC, and I do freeride with either my BigHit or P.2. I would like to do more trials, I do own a Mod bike, but it just seems I don't have time for it. I like to build trails now.......which is great, but takes a lot of time.
