Hitting some of the best tech lines at Mt Penn with the Trail Boss Jeff Lenosky. This guy was finding new lines and doing things on the bike I had never seen before.
What an amazing day on the mountain bikes with Brian and Jeff! I showed them around my favorite local spot hitting some of the best tech the mountain has to offer, including the Sam Malone slab, No Joke, Frame Breaker, and the 1 in 10 boulder field. Jeff and Brian made quick work of the challenging rock work and showed me what was possible on the bike. Unfortunately, the snow called an end to the ride, but I can’t wait for round two. Huge thank you to Brian for helping me with the filming.
