    an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.

    Everyone rides a different bike, or the same bike. Freeriding, XCing, singletrack fun, jumping,
    dieing, hurting.... in all ways. There is no dominate force in my opinion, it is all the same.

    In America, we have singletrack trails as long as your entire country.... and then some. That is the
    single biggest difference that may attribute to bikes or style in America in my opinion.

    I'm torn between suggesting that us yankees list some of our favoirte US photo links, and telling
    the guy to look up the Sienfeld episode with the C-dale in the hall.

    No. You can't join because you're a top-poster!

    When passing, it's appropriate to say "on your left", which is of course totally opposite to what
    they do in the UK.

    I always screw this up, which is why I take public transportation on the Isle.

    In the UK we ride in all typres of weather. Mud is second nature. We ride trails that riders from
    other countries look at and quake. Slippy rocks, tree roots muddy ruts and lashings of horse [censored]
    are not everyones cup of...errr...coffee! We do like warm dry trails but learn to live 10 months of
    year without them.
