The Canyons was a treat once again! I showed up in my xc helmet with no pads and they said that wasn't going to fly. That means it's time to invest in some dh gear asap! Christie and her friend set me up and then Christie showed me how to rally these trails! She's learned so much this summer, it's rad to see her improvement. It gives me hope that I'll start taking gap jumps soon too! She also gave me the confidence to take the same drop I had taken before, but this time I did it on my bike (not a DH bike with lots of travel). My bike is capable of so much more than I utilize it for. I love my Jamis Dakar XCR Team 29er! (My dropper post sure helps at a terrain park too!)

Christie-the enduro master!

Off the ground

Working the same corner I did with Gene

Yes, this XC bike CAN fly!

So stoked to take this drop on my XCR

It felt much more epic than it looks
