    He scoped this one a long time ago and wouldn't hit it.. then recently discovered a YouTube video of Gabe (Fearless fly) hitting it so he had to give it a shot. The first attempt was slow and wobbly and made me nervous.. and by the 4th attempt he had it dialed..

    So many hairy short trails in Irvine Park. I'll do most of them but there's one (off Puma) w a freakin tree branch sticking out and I know I'll focus on it and ride right into it ... Ugh

    Tons of hairy short lines.. there were a couple gnarly ones Ryan hit, including one that drops in from the wall below Puma, super steep loose deep off camber rut all the way down into a wall drop and then another drop/chute down onto the road.. I didn't wanna walk down it.. he killed it.. have you hit that one?

    Not sure if I know that one Jim - you guys will have to show me. Steep technical stuff doesn't scare me, it's putting tight turns or loose sh*t with it that does...lol

    Consider him motivated Chris.. he just said "what, I went through there faster than Gabe did".. he's checking Gabe's video as we speak.. I love the little guy's confidence :clap:
