I'm back from my injury (which made it to this week's Friday Fails!) and have something different for the channel :) This is a full run of the Downieville Downhill course, it was day 2 and 104 degree weather and day 1 XC was brutal! I wasn't able to preview the course this year so last time I rode the first half was 2019 so I took a few bad lines but highlighted where the correct lines are. I thought I did well for my capabilities, unfortunately a few of us got stopped for several minutes due to a serious crash in front of us. Guy was carried out on stretcher and later helicoptered out. I asked afterwards and understood he broke his femur bone crashing on Third Divide, but he'll be fine after surgery.
I'll be racing the Classic 2024 this year as well, you can donate for the cause here: https://www.pledgereg.com/5020/amirh
