Man I love the Island, cool to see local trails that I often ride, in videos on pinkbike, makes you feel part of something bigger

I am soooo, jealous - Those of us who have the privilege of living in the mountains know what we have. We are lucky to have it and should always respect and take care of it. It's no different with Darren..... except he has more of it, better quality, the best job in the world, oh ya, and a BOAT!
