THE FASTEST LAPS I HAVE EVER DONE!! | Chasing Fast Riders Helps Me Improve | Skypark Bike Park

What do you like to do when you want to work on your riding skills and start to improve beyond your current comfort levels? My personal favorite way to improve is to pick one trail for the day and go try to chase the fastest riders I know and try to keep up. We decided on riding Arrow for the day as it has a great mix of different features to practice on. I find that when I am in the chasing mindset, I am less likely to overthink my riding and I am able to let it just happen more naturally. When I let myself overthink my riding I find that I make more mistakes. I was very grateful to have ran across Enrique and his buddy up at Skypark. The 4 of us were able to get in some great laps and really work on speed and style during the day. I really love riding at Skypark and Im already looking to plan the next trip up.

How was the braking bumps on upper arrow after the second drop? I was there several weeks ago and it was pretty noticeable. Comit had some decent blown out area's.

They were pretty bad but just hitting them a little faster really helped smooth them out a bit. They were nothing compared to some of the braking bumps at Summit.
