  Freeride - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Freeride is a form of mountain biking involving riding free on a bike.
Freeriding is a relatively new sport combining different aspects of mountain biking, such as downhill and dirtjumping.
Freeride bikes are similar to downhill bikes though they are slightly lighter which enables them to be ridden not just downhill but through more technical sections, such as North Shore obstacles.

 Catek.com: Forum - Freeride/Pro upgrade worth it?
I have Freerides and Freeride Pros and there is definitely a difference in the ride characteristics imparted by the strap sets.
The weight of the freeride/freeride pro's is pretty comparible with the Drake matrix, ride lx, or burton p1 so that is really not that bad, but they are definately not as light as a pair of burton c-14/c-16/c-60's.
I have two pairs of the basic freerides and the weight has not bothered me because the performance is so much better with these bindings that it is worth it.

personally freeride because i can't stand any of this fancy ballet style boarding known as "freestyle" but i do think the people who are good at it are amazing still.
And how many of the top pros say they would rather be carving down a mountain than doing rails in a car park...
No, the only reason people freeride is because they cant freestyle.

 Bicycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the late 1990s, disc brakes appeared on some off-road bicycles, tandems and recumbent bicycles, but are considered impractical on road bicycles, which rarely encounter conditions where the advantages of discs are significant.
The use of tires as large as 3.0 inches in width also makes disc brakes a necessity, as rim brakes simply cannot straddle a tire that wide.
Mountain bicycles are designed for off-road cycling, and include other sub-types of off-road bicycles such as Cross Country (i.e."XC"), Downhill, and to a lesser extent Freeride bicycles.

Eastside Freeride got a set of full-body armor from High Velocity Gear to see if their reputation passed the test in the field as well as in the show room.
After testing out many types of body armor I have found that the most important characteristic is for it to feel as though it is not there — that is, until you crash.
I was lucky enough to get a copy of the film too, seeing as ESFR will be premiering it in the east this coming Friday, and let me tell you that the rave reviews are merited by the second production from The Collective crew.
