    we should be able to solely use my truck for the bike transportation, it would just take more "trips" up and down the mountain to make sure mine carries us up and then it's also at the bottom lol

    haha yep, idk how much he's like Wes...but Wes usually is on a time trial it seems, so if you find something you want to "session" let's stop and do it. I know Jekyll has some rollers I'd like to see if I can get some speed/small air on but it would take a couple of runups for me to feel comfortable doing it.

    it's gonna take some peer pressure and a lot of breaking down my mental block to get me to do that drop...

    Im sure i wont, but id like to think i will lol. Like i said i have to feel loose before i start jumping. Doing stupid things while being tight on the bike is how you hurt yourself.

    I'm sure you'll be warmed up by the time we get over to lightning haha. you're going to love jekyll. getting to it on upper jekyll is a little rough, but once you get there it's smooth sailing, probably my favorite trail we hit.

    no no no. downhill yes, but I'm even willing to stop a downhill to keep practicing on a certain section.

    The faster you get to the top of the hill, the faster you get to the downhill section
