This video really got to me when I watched it last night. I decided to PM some mods and see if they could make this VOD. You can thank curiousdeanne and Kburkat for this one. Easily the most meaningful videos on pinkbike. Great riding and stay strong bud.

Sorry to butt in like this but I lost my dad seven years ago and I'm still not over it, he lives on with you forever and you will always know when he is watching and when he isn't. Even though he is gone now, your bond will grow stronger as you see the things he has done for you, and how they have truly affected your life. Sorry for your loss.
