Haven't used mine since the day I passed my test. Used to linger on some forums years ago, can't even remember what they were called though...

I do a bit of everything really, mainly all-mountain, freeriding and downhilling. However I just got myself a bargain Specialized P2 for dirt jumping and 4x.

I couldn't recommend the P2 enough. Wheelies had them 25% off as well I think.

Im only building a cheap one up and see how it goes, only actually got to buy front forks to build a complete bike.

Only a cheap frame im using and other bits but it should be enough to get me started again.

I have a mat cream specialized P1 that ive had for years, i really need to get out on it soon.
Used to do street trials but found i couldnt really do mental stunts so went into jump/dirt, had a major accident which left me with a crooked ribcage so now i just fanny about on trails and do some cheeky street riding. Riding down massive stair sets always get the biddies shouting

Seems to be quite common...Im the same as most of you, used to ride day in day out before my car test then it all went to pot lol. I've had an XC rig the last couple of yrs...wanting to get fit and all that but hardly use it. Iused to ride trials back in the day and everytime i watch This Danny Macaskill Vid I really wanna start riding trials again. I just know I'm nowhere as fit as I used to be.
