Me doing some North Shore stunts... I'd never done it before, but I had skilz... mad skilz!

North Shore Mountain Biking originated in the hilly, slick, rocky terrain of Vancouver, Canada's north shore, thus it was coined "north shore" riding. Because of the almost, if not completely, unridable terrain riders began building bridges over swampy or muddy areas. These bridges evolved into complex, often times extremely challenging, man-made stunts. Because stunts are often narrow and may require the rider to move very slowly regardless of width, north shore riding requires immense balance and bike handling skills. North shore bikes, such as those by manufacturer [1] are much like freeride bikes in their geometry and downhill bikes in their componentry makeup. Because north shore stunts have evolved to not only include simple and complex bridges but also large drops and high speed descents through a series of stunts north shore bikes commonly have as much travel as downhill and freeride bikes
