I'll admit I've never heard of Stefan Garlicki, but, to drop in behind Andy Kolb and keep up and pull even 1/2 the lines he did is pretty f'ing sick. That was some good filming & editing too! I could actually see what was going on, no quick cuts and obscure camera angles.

Super nice guy, he ran a shuttle day at his local trails and gave out two spare tubes to keep a me and a friend going.
He's also had some of the most insane injuries I've ever heard of and keeps getting back up to speed, pretty amazing.

He stayed in the same Chalet as me in Morzine summer 2020. Super nice guy.

@skiandmtbdirtbag: I can attest, new hip is not a hinderance to performance. To say that I'm 100% better than pre-replacement would be a lie, I'm more like 250% better. I hadn't ridden pain free in seven years prior to my replacement last year.

Bike Parks are so rad and add such a vital aspect of riding to the world of mountain biking! This footage is awesome!

Kolb is such a ripper and a super nice guy too. Met him at Snowshoe just after his run and he was really easy going. He let my kid and some others play around with his bike and got them snacks and drinks from the Continental pit.
