Freeride is one of the most popular and fastest growing sports in mountain biking today. Freeriding is a term used to refer to riders who aren't focused on one area of mountain biking, but rather attack all aspects of the sport with great vigor. Freeriders can be seen riding downhill, technical X-country, dirtjumping, North-Shore style raised trails, urban assault and any other form of mountain biking that produces a rush. Freeride bikes range from small hard-tails setup for jumping, to full-suspension downhill rigs that have been reduced in weight and will sometimes have as many as 27 speeds as opposed to the standard 9-speed downhill setups. Freeriding is all about the rush!

Freeriders are the people who did nothing in group projects or works. They simply enjoy skipping meetings and earn their bad reputation.
Jenn is a freerider who only appeared once in the group project when the group member list is edited.

Particularly found in the sport of snowboarding, Freeriding is the ability to look at a gnarly mountain and pick out your exact line of victory. Freeriding takes place in mountainous regions of gnar, pow and sketchy as hell. Falling in this treacherous terrain is a no, no.
