Just been browsing the Leisure Lakes brochure and counted 20 different mountain biking genres before giving up. My favourites were "over mountain" and "big mountain". You can even buy not just a freeride bike but a FULL ON freeride bike!
"Useless" - it's quite a big group.

Mountain Cross Jey Core DH lite.
Post prog-rock electronica aggressive xc lite
Aggressive Commuter.

OG*fatboymincerlite
*old goth (therefore most rides will be stopped to look a ruined abbey to feel all melancholic do a little backwardsy/forwardsy dance whilst waving arms about and all bikes must be blacker than blackthing in a coal sack, preferably with skulls and "fields of the nephilim" sprayed on it somewhere)
failing that I quite like pink bikes with baskets and bells
I ride an Upside-Down Hill bike
*old goth ...... all bikes must be blacker than blackthing in a coal sack, preferably with skulls and "fields of the nephilim" sprayed on it somewhere)
Hey, I've got a Nicolai just like that*, and a previous bike had "a slight case of overbombing" stencilled on the downtube.
Do I win?

Overbiked STW Mincer or Mountainmashing Hero?
My genre is "riding bikes offroad"... I think that pretty much sums up what I like to do!

Over the hill more like.

Depends on the bike though.
