    Am I really ready to take on the toughest tech challenge I’ve ever seen? Lots of my buddies have cleaned Horsethief Bench in Fruita. But my buddies have also done lots of things that I can’t pull off yet. It’s all about MY skills and level of comfort. I knew I had to attempt the Bench today, but I didn’t think it would be this damn scary.

      Indeed! Risk vs. reward. Hubris vs. bragging rights. A lifetime of enjoying MTB'ing vs. spending months recovering or worse.
      Backstory: I'm 75 and help coach a high school MTB Team. I hope I'm demonstrating that one can enjoy MTB'ing for a lifetime. I can't and won't do the technical 3 foot drops and 10 foot jumps that many of the kiddos can do; but I can enjoy watching their progress in both fitness and skills. And their parents too!! 🙂
      Rubber side down .... Rule #1 is FUN!!

    Well done Bryan! As always, GoPro does very little justice to a massive feature that's difficult to even walk down. Moore Fun actually looked pretty interesting, I did think that a lot of the trails other than Horsethief (which is amazing) were pretty boring in the Kokopelli area but will give Moore a shot next time I'm over there.

    I lived in Fruita for 2 years (2014 & 2015). Horsethief Bench is my favorite ride. I would never attempt that drop in. I always walked it to keep myself out of the emergency room 😀. Always love the show. Bay Area rider in Moraga. Miss Fruita all the time. I was back in town last October for a bike trip. You need to ride the new Palisade Plunge.

Also noticed the high-end rider genius / guide kept wheels grounded, good call. Price of botching up a landing along there is way too high. Back a bit there was a steel stake sticking up. PLEASE cut that sucker off! I really don't want anyone getting on that. Will be looking at your shirts, sick of black or grey of course.
