    Dude... you rock! :bang:

    I'd ride with you but have to wash my hair (local joke!) You might try the San Juan Trail off of Highway 74.

    Enjoy...

    Are you sure about that?
    Please tell me you have ridden Velocity before.

    A run time of 2:04 on velocity is really really F__king FAST. A LOT faster than any of STR's best riders I can think of.

    can't comment on Ryan, since I've never seen him ride DH. With practice, I can probably pull a low 3-minute lap time down that, but not just riding up and doing it.

    like I said. just cruising we pulled 3:45.

    It's impressive no matter how you look at it.

    edit: after rethinking how long it would actually take, id probably be mid 2's. no way im touchn 158 unless it has a motor. dudes fast.

    Much Love to the STR! Hit me up when you wanna ride mammoth!

    I would be more than happy to show you around. Would even give you some comped passes if you can show me some lines. Dont mean to be cocky but I do take pride in my velocity times. Look forward to you being "right up my ass" when the mountain opens or the fontana winter series which I haven't raced yet. Thanks again for enjoying the video,
    Brian
    Again, This will be my third season on a bike and I am only trying to do my best. I appreciate any support and I love that everyone in STR is so supportive. It makes a huge impact on my racing. Thank You, and I cant wait to ride wide some of your members this weekend!!

    as you should, your fast. most of the best racers are cocky.
    the stuff i typed earlier (especially the first post) was supposed to come off sarcastic. either way i didnt mean it to sound like "your slow".

    Hey Brian, I'll definitely drop you a line when I get up to Mammoth next season. went once last season, and it's like crack, so I'm going to be getting a season pass this time around :bang:

    Nice work on the video - you've got some really nice angles and camera moves in there, not to mention some skilz! How many times do you think you've ridden Velocity?

    I ride velocity about 8-10 times a day and I've been riding two summers now so 4 months every day 9 times a day.....So roughly 2,000 times. Mammoth is my backyard so I get to ride everyday and I have a night job so might as well ride.
