Awesome. Or as I like to say “Mom, I’m out of the emergency room now.”

If this race took place in Canada, would they all suit for dangerous conditions?

I was there racing. It was tough- I cleaned that bit every lap (seat up, on an Anthem X) but it’s much steeper and tougher than it looks. There’s practically no traction and there’s big old rocks hiding in it, and it’s one of those ones where it’s so steep that once you’re on a line toward a rock the brakes won’t save you.

It was a great piece of trail- I think it’s the old DH track!
