Freeriding?

How many of us fmx riders actually take it back to the roots of fmx and ride a bit of Natural terrain? Mabye some of us should try it one day.. from experience it does make you a better rider and teaches you how to realy handle your bike. Riding ramps all day might make you better at tricks.. but it doesnt make you a better RIDER.
