What is the difference between freeride and slopestyle then? Also, how can you have a freeride competition? Anyway, I thought they were both big tricks on big bikes (i.e. not 24").

people on here bang on about all the different niches in MTB, then list a string of names that i never hear outside of this forum, as far as i'm concerned slopestyle is just a type of freeride, just on a given course. don't like slopestyle bikes, don't buy one then. simple really.
(i don't have one either)
just because you never will have the skills to ride it doesn't mean you have to be so ignorant

To clarify Crankworx isn't just slopstyle thats just one event, argueably its the most watched but its not the whole week long.
Slopestyle is just dirt jumping with bigger faster jumps and many more line chioces. Its that simple.
If you go to crankworx you will see two types of bike, either a full sus dirt jump bike (slopestyle) or a hardtial dirt jump bike. Head angles etc etc are basically the same as dirt jump bikes, that simple. You will notice though that most still run hardtials as they pop better of lips and are lighter hence more throwable.

I have an intense slopestyle,I bought it without knowing what slopestyle is,I wanted a slack shorter travel downhill bike because I like the more groomed flowy fast jumpy bike park trails as opposed to the full on rocky downhill courses,I also don't have the balls to need full on 10" travel rig which would have cost me twice as much to build anyway.
Every where I go with it{live in Canada} people comment on how they want one and ask me about,I'd say people are going for this type of bike over here as the groomed courses are really popularPosted 2 years ago # -
