Used to be. Still have an old Trek 830 with goodies. I know it's not a "real" mountain bike, but I used to love that stuff.

My son is. The strange thing is he lives in Florida where we all know are some of the highest peaks in America so he does very minor hill biking.

Here's his blog.

I think there was a thread just like this a few months ago.....


I DH/FR and am starting to get into dirt jumping (w/ a mountain bike), right now I have a 2005 Giant Faith 1 and a 2005 Cannondale Chase.

Out for the season though, took a bad fall jumping a couple weeks ago. Broke my left thumb (and destroyed the bones behing my thumb), broke my right wrist and right elbow to the point that I needed surgery on all three. Now I'm left with two huge scars on my right arm and these bad boys on my left hand:
