While most of us interpret mountain biking as something we do on a trail, one of our sport’s biggest events in the world happens without dedicated trails, but still with diggers and riders.

Freeriding also doesn’t need to be something reserved for the pros, and it can happen with tricks on a jump trail or on any appropriate mountain. Chances are, if you’ve ridden in enough places, you’ve probably passed somewhere you can freeride and it can be a relatively liberating and creative experience.
