Yes.

Pretty much DH only as my gut inhibits my ability to do cross-country now. Gravity is my friend. Cablesmurf and Hps4vr also do a lot of DH. Are you looking for riding buddies? I'm still down for some urban-style drops off picnic tables, ledges , staircases downtown from time to time.

I'm in. It's too nice in the city though. The trails have too much snow still. Time to clean the bikes up. Kevin specialK wants to do some downhill riding too... ;D

If there's a way to get a mountain bike stuck going downhill, I have complete faith that he will find it. He's a remarkable person.

XC, DH, and trials. 

I'm usually game for riding of any sort, and am down with local, mountains, or urban.

I could be up for some urban or xc.  Have a 2004 devinci cactus ht with maybe 500km on it.  It's funny how kids put old hobbies on hold.

Downhill is so much sweeter when you actually go up it first :-)

Thats why i sold my DH bike with 8" of travel and bought a dirtbike with 13" of travel. So much sweeter to ride up and than come down.
i agree ;)
