Cold and snowy, but pumping it up

The pump track in my yard has seen a few hundred laps, and it’s bedding in nicely. Thanks to diligent snow shoveling, Farid and I enjoyed a nice sesh yesterday.

20 degrees with frozen, fast dirt.

I like how tech this section feels: berm to semi-roller to slight drift into main line.

This happened too quickly and violently to notice technique. It’s nice to see the form was OK, but I should be higher on the berm.

Whoa! The tires let go a sec ago.

This is the closest I can get to Santa Cruz. Oh well: more skills, fitness and rage for Sea Otter.

Captain America, the experimental Stumpjumper HT EVO 26, has proven to be a fun, versatile companion. Road, XC, errands, clinics, slalom, jump, pump … The Captain and his 831 abide.

Know more. Have more fun!
