Although my riding is heavily based on dirt jumping, you might not know that my very first experiences on a mountain bike actually happened in the mountains. Riding trails in the woods is how I began mountain biking, and I will always have a love for speeding through the woods and railing berms. It's important to ride suspension bikes in addition to jumping on a hardtail, it reverberates throughout your overall bike skill. I believe that being extremely controlled and fast on the ground is something to aspire for just as much as having fun in the air. In episode 2, you will get a short glimpse of myself attempting to achieve this, yet I couldn't help but to throw some jumps in there as well.
