    Love it! Came here from BTU FB page. Ha, I just made a quad latte with the very same Breville espresso machine. Damn good machine for a great price.
    No gloves? Crazy. And was in Hurricane last spring break. WANT MORE!!!!
    Edit: What's harder, this descent on 29", 3.5" tire, 6" travel full suspension or The Portal in Moab on 26", 1.8" tires, fully rigid?
    I've done the latter, too old to do the former! That said, this is another level. But oh, so awesome. Thank you so much for the great video. An inspiration to all (questionably sane) riders everywhere!!!

    Whats in a name? The USAF once tested fighter jet ejection seats off the top of this mesa - the runway is still there. They would use monkeys in their tests. It's said that getting the monkeys into the ejection seat after their initial launch was near impossible. Smart monkeys!
