pinning it into rock gardens is the most intimidating, you know the bike will handle it but theres always a slight rush as you hit the first rocks.

well this isnt the scaryest but its defenitly the most annoying. when your blasting down a track and you look ahead and see a drop which looks huge so you slow down then when you get to it its tiny and u feel and look shite lol

Do you ever do practice runs? If not, I understand.

I hate washy sand, nothin like a tire sweeping the opposite way you turn the bars.
