    Too slow, you need to carry some momentum when doing little steps. On the bright side it looks like Pipeline before they neutered the staircase. It took me a while to figure out why you took out your bud. Next time he should stand on the inside corner. I guess you were lucky you did not loose your next of kin.
    Good times on the single trac. Healing vibes

    Yeah you need to hit that part as fast as possible to keep your momentum...........Then blow the turn and fall to your death.

    Speed is not the issue, the rider never looked at the exit and kept his focus on his buddy….straight ahead and down the canyon.

    The GoPro made you crash..... Try not to film when it's your first time hitting a challenging section.

    This is funny. Nate is the last guy you need to be giving advice to about riding gnarly stuff. He has hit this on his Glory before.

    Has anyone seen this pic? That's Nate on the same section.

    I saw a girlfriend bust her ankle right in front of me. We just left 4 Corners to descend Cactus, she went up on the berm to the right, starting messing w her seat dropper, lost momentum, back tire slide down w her ankle still clipped in.

    Taught me a lesson...don't f*ck around when you start descending.

    Yeah I've seen plenty of his footage on YouTube and he has no problem with the gnar.. hope he heals up fast. Ryan enjoys watching his GoPro footage..
