We all have our favourite disciplines to ride, but due to convenience and location these often don't match with how much of each discipline we actually ride. So that is the question, as a percentage how much of each discipline on two wheels, this can be anything from BMX to Moto, Trials to Commuting, and DH to XC and anything else you can think of do you ride?
I'll start, I ride around 30% BMX to sharpen the skills, 10% Track for fitness, then 50% trail riding, and 10% Downhill. Man I wish that DH number was higher... What about you guys?

a few years ago, i would have had more DH time but anymore it's 100% trail/xc aside from a whistler trip once a year for some lift runs.
10% DJ
40% AM
50% Downhill
I hope to get on the AM bike a bit more than the DH bike this year, time will tell though.
10% boring xc because I don't have a ride and that's what's nearby
10% xc to the top of dh runs
30% xc/trail
40% AM/Enduro races
20% bike parks/shuttles
Pretty much all on one bike except for the road spins!
20% trail
10% Downhill
Finally got comfy on my Dirt Jumper, and it sees most of my riding. I do a lot of street around the local college campus, but thanks to local bike parks (pumptracks and jump lines) popping up more, there's one 20 mins away and I'm down there almost every day after work just workin on my whips. Dirt jump bikes are the shit.
5% bikepark
Same bike everywhere, now a Giant Trance SX, used Cannondale Claymore for sale
DH 45%...this may be bit higher, im probably being conservative
XC 35%
AM/enduro 19%
CX 1%
25% trail, Enduro, downhill, park
25% freeride, booters and steep stuff where it's difficult just to make it down without bailing.
I got a DJ bike because I moved to an area with a few pump tracks etc and I'm so glad I did. It's a crazy good work out and the skills I've picked up help no end when I get on the bigger bike. I'd say I learnt more in the pump track last summer than in the last 3 years on the trail bike alone. I'd recommend it to anyone who hasn't tried it, you'll feel slow as hell to begin with but stick with it and when you get back on a big bike all those skills cross over only now you have a load of squish too and you're basically invincible.
Just got a new DJ this last year (after mine was stolen a few years back, those bastards), so I got a few trips to Ray's (Cle) in this winter. I'll be taking it out into the streets once the weather breaks, happy for that number to get back up again.
As I've gotten older taking multiple days to drive/stay out to at decent DH hill for the weekend is tougher to do. Luckily there's a small hill an hour or so away, so it's easy for a quick day trip... but it's only open like 6 times a year. I miss when it was open every weekend, that was the jam.
70% Road
30% DH
i just can ride my DH bike the weekends
But really like 70 percent trail, 20 percent downhill, 10 percent skatepark/urban/dj
30% fat bike (don't judge I live in Minnesota, cold as F#$% and no mountains)
20% DJ
20% DH when i can.
before moving to Minnesota from Washington State it was almost all Trail and DH 50-50 mix
Sad I know... But in about 2 months I will get my license!!!! Super stoked!
42.3% light dh
72% grinduro
50% road
30% enduro
20% shuttle runs
more sunny days like 30 to 40 road
40 enduro
and 20 to 10 shuttle, used to be 100% a few years ago
Now it's:
10% *road
60% trail
30% DH
I'd much rather it be 45% DH / 45% trail / 10% *road, though.
*Road - quick 1-15 mile ride to local brewery or 20-30 mile "6-pack" night ride.
40% Enduro Bro
10% DH (except in the summer)
So do we count time spent riding the bike, talking about the bike, looking at the bike, watching bike related videos, chatting on websites, cleaning the bike, spending money on the bike? Cos then the time starts to pile up in downhill's favour!
10% DH (I blame Bend, Oregon)
70% Mountain biking
30% Road
----------------
110% on my bike
30% North Shore type drops, jumps, bridges
30% Forest Service trail XC
10% DJ, Lift Serviced DH
Obviously the first thing I bought when I got here was a DH bike. saving up for a trail bike...
