Ready for the action now? Yes, this series is a buildup to the last episode so we hope you will follow it till the end. In this episode, you will see where Dakotah Norton honed in his skills. Growing up in Michigan, there were no hills to descend so it was all about precision. Becoming fast on a bike means having the ability to examine every inch of your trail utilizing the best line to carry speed efficiently. Being a master trail hitter carries over into the fast pace DH track.

With a firm background in BMX and Moto, Dakotah has gained the skills necessary to stay low and go fast. The stakes in professional downhill racing come down to milliseconds today. Being able to walk the course and read it in a way that condones speed is a talent that is acquired over experience.

 "Nobody cares how good you are at riding bikes" so true. I've met tons of shredders that I have no interest in riding with because of their attitude and shit personality. I'd rather ride with a really cool newbie over a pro that is a real douche.

 First one person says, "I can do that" then the next person says, "I can do that better", and you get a mountain with 1 peak, and that peak is generally a mutant in a good way.

 @Zuman: Lopes isn't a good rider either, he's a mediocre rider at best who spent all his free time in the gym in an era where his peers trained by party & beer & party & beer. That's the only reason he's ever won anything. A hyper competitive dick bag that works out a lot & thus can pedal fast. If he were in the shape Palmer were in he'd be nowhere. If you get wins, you get spons.

 Nice vid man, and an even nicer philosophy. It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice. All the best for 2017 man. Whaa'ooow!!!

 Psyched to see Jeremy Ball in this one. Such a genuine dude, had the pleasure of meeting him at Ray's Odd Couple a couple years back. So down to earth, humble and easy going.

 Get it DAK! I remember thinking who the hell was this kid in in 2015, with a scorching time at the Snowshoe ProGRT. Hope this kid makes it and kills it.

 The dirt jumps unfortunately look like they are on some private land... I feel your pain. Though the outdoor skate park is in Detroit.

 In a backyard. And they are easily two times as big as they look in this video. Pure insanity..

 From town, drive three miles and turn left after you cross the bridge. From there, it's two miles to the corner store. Take a right. Once you see the red barn, look for the two track to the left. Thru the woods, across the creek, and you're there.
