    I love the fact that this isn't your speciality at all but you can get amongst it just by being an awesome rider!
    Anyway I've just had the email that the main race is going from the top of the quali again. The banter potential is enormous. Get in there and cause some chaos eh!

    12:04 this battling aspect is the only thing keeping me doing xc races regularly, it’s an absolute blast. Would be insane to have that in a downhill race.

    Back in the 90s a little hill in woodbury Ct used to allow me to carry my bike up the lift and snow ride. I brought some pro riders up there one time and it was so fun to watch. Todd Bosch was throwing shralps on berms at speed so slow it was hilarious. Just finding the edge of grip
