I would like some more explanation of what the differences between these are. To me they are essentially the same thing. What does "riding free" mean, exactly? Mark Tatum 00:26, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
Downhilling is essentially racing. Freeriding is doing drops, jumps, and obstacles. The point of competitive freeriding is different tricks and style
Suggest a disambiguation page because freeriding is really becoming a discipline in wintersports. To merely mention snowboarding in a cycling article is not enough.
Please remember your freestyle skiers, even bound by regulation, doggers have always pushed the limits and tested the boundries. We know what it means to be free....
There is more to freeriding than mountainbiking. The term is also used in ski/wintersports as well as watersports. I suggest a boader category. - 212.41.142.242
You can look in any dictionary and find that the mountainbiking style is not the primary definition of " freeriding": http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/freeriding -- Jacknstock 03:45, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
ok, so it's decided.....a dissambiguation page should be the primary article for "freeride"...now does anyone know how to make this happen?
Hi, I've added james duguid to the list of well known riders, seeing as he's the guy in the photo appearing at the top of the article. and he's quite well know in britain. thanks user:tentpeak1.0 22.38, 24 May 2007 GMT
I've put the list of riders here since they serve no useful purpose at the moment (there's no additional info - I might as well put my name) and there are no references. If the riders are notable then they should have a article of their own and then wikilinks can be provided. Slinky Puppet 18:59, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

I've snipped a little of the content from this section and left the link to the dedicated article. The deleted content duplicated that on the linked article. - Shrivenzale ( talk) 15:46, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
interest has been expressed by an anonymous editor to have a famous freeriders section. Does anyone know the names of any famous freeriders that could go in it? -- Keithonearth ( talk) 17:48, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Freeride is also a form of watersports. It involves riding personal watercraft in the ocean surf, using the waves as "ramps" to perform tricks such as back-flips and barrel rolls. Most often they are highly modified "stand-up" style craft.
This page should have a selection where the user can choose what type of freeride they are interested in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.80.190.216 ( talk) 23:12, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
I cleaned up the article a bit, and marked the obvious problems remaining. The main one being WP:N by adding WP:RS. Widefox ( talk) 12:28, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
