Most of the time the only one that keeps you from doing things like that is yourself. You don't need to be pro or sponsored or anything, just plan the trip and go. Even I did. www.pinkbike.com/video/265276

Is "chillion" even a number?? And, it's only $8,929, or even less for a non-carbon Session. So basically all you have to write are like 8,917. Get to work.
