      I was at my local bike park and was looking at this trail because my friend said I should before I hit it, and this guy absolutely flew by us at Mach 10. He hit a double black tech trail as fast as I would a blue jump trail. It turns out that that guy was my friend’s friend, and going on to race junior World Cup this year. It really is humbling to watch people that fast.
