Shandro blasting through the gnarly. You think you're fast and then try and keep up with someone who really is fast, only to have your dreams shattered - I love it! This run was out of the park and offered a bit of everything, perfect for getting a feel for the new bike. The top had some serious rock sections that you could come in to much faster than you should, and the bottom had plenty of fast singletrack and tricky corners filled with loose chunder. This run took a full hour from top to bottom with our big group and I'm pretty sure that I had a shit eating grin during the entire time, it was simply too much fun! Andrew Neethling and Worlds Jr. silver medalist Neko Mulally were in the group as well and it was a blast watching them come through boulder fields that I tiptoe through. Getting to watch a DH race bike get ridden by top World Cup racers is something that every rider should experience at least once.
