Helping Heather Irmiger rip the DH
Heather Irmiger — XC national champ, marathon national champ and singlespeed world champ — has asked me to help her descend at a world class level (and have more fun on her bike).
I am all over this project.
When we met at Valmont Bike Park I told her, with great respect for her accomplishments:
“Heather, yesterday was the last day you sucked at mountain biking.”
She was like, Right on, that was yesterday. Let’s rock this.

Heather is a world class athlete with a great attitude. Stay tuned as she becomes a top descender and an Enduro threat.
Braaap!
