Why do you Ride: I love to ride because it gets me outside in nature with my friends. We can ride together, share stories, motivate each other and laugh at each other. There is no judgement- just friendship. You compete only with yourself and get exercise at the same time.

I love the descents when you get some good speed and you follow the flow of the trails, shifting your body weight to manage the turns without braking, and getting the occasional air off the small jumps (not ready for the big jumps yet :-)
