>>968312>Dont wanna rip up trails or dust people out. I only ride on logging roads (active or not).
Dirt bike is just as challenging as mountain biking. I do both. Trials even more so. I can get to places that I'd never be able to get to on my mountain bike, unless, like hiking, I take multiple days off. Mountain bikes have specific trails because they too rip up and destroy the hiking trails and environment.
Mountain bike, dirt/dual sport, hiking all have their places. None is better than the other; it depends on what your needs are.
