Not retired or injured...rode with him on Vedder back in July and saw him riding again at Crankworx.

Slick riding. Sweeeet trail.

.........speechless.....WOW.

Let's think for a minute: why was the term freeride even created? It was used to define a type of riding where riders freely rode various terrain types and interpretted what they were riding on. Having started mountain biking in 1993 in eastern Canada, well before long travel suspension, and then moving to the Vancouver area in 1994 due to the emerging North Shore scene, I have seen HUGE evolution in bikes and the terrain that can be riden. Freeride is not dying. Every time I see riders on the trails, riding for leisure, they are freeriding. We are all interpretting the trail, it's features and how big we go based on our personal view and experience. To suggest that freeriding is over or dead would be to suggest that mountain biking as a sport is ending as the majority of us ride for fun, not competition...and fun means FREEDOM!
