What is the best thing about riding in the dirt that you like?

For me it's the drifting :wacko: and where else are highsides fun !!!!! :yes:

Haven't got to getting any real air yet, but I suppose for many of you mixing it up in the air would be pretty thrilling too !

I like riding with my mates, hammering whoops and weaving through the trees without making any mistakes.

Hate listening to noisy $ strokes.

The feel of the power sheer buzz as you race across the ground through the trees etc and seeing how much air you can get of a things is allways good dosnt allways end good but great feeling when it dose.Time out with mates. Almost forgot gota love the mud.

Yea I like the hillclimbs.... Nailing them when your mate falls off is a pretty good feeling I must admit! And riding on wet clay is bliss if ya into drifting. I need to learn more about hang time though, at the mo its about half a milli second.

I love the sound of my bike when I kick it over (2 stroke), the feeling of having all that power at the twist of the throttle, riding those days where everything just feels easy but you know you are caning it and it feels like nothing could go wrong, love hitting the jumps and grabbing a bit of air or drifting around the corners.

LOVE RIDING BIKES!

Bang on. Also not having to worry about some piss-weak fuckwit claiming that you got what was coming to you, even though it wasn't you that did it.

I love riding my bike period.
I love not thinking about the other bullshit thats going on in my life,because im too busy focusing on where i want my bike to go.
I love thrashing the shit out of my bike.
I love big gnarly uphills that look untameable and then dominating the fuckers.
I love it when I nail something that I've seen others struggle with.:niceone:
I love going right through the middle of a puddle and drenching my mates

I do not love trees

Yeah I'll never forget that Buffstar, that's why I keep away from you when I see the puddles!
I love it when people go right through the middle of a puddle and they end up drenching themselves more than their mates!!!:clap:
I love it when I can use my electric start while my mates have to kickstart their bikes:clap:
I love it when I think I'm really cool and getting better! Then it's not so good when I realise I'm still not that good!
I just love riding fullstop!

Wouldn't come to Auckland coz he couldn't pull finger
Looks at his bike and pretends that he rides it
Secretly gay, but he very well hides it
Rocks around Welly wearing an orange bum bag
(And i won't eat your seed, you pseudo-biker fag!)

I like the level of concentration required. Processing all that physical and visual information. When you're in the groove, riding a dirt bike is a beautiful graceful thing - it's performance art.

I love my new Alpinestars tutu and leg warmers.

The wheeling past balance point and biffing it, landing on your back like an ant only to get the air knocked out of ya, can't even laugh about it when you can't breathe for 10 seconds. It feels completely different when that happens on the road - not much to laugh about.
