Not to downplay your accomplishment at all- I always found the riding at Park City and Deer Valley to be pretty groomed. I used to get similar "Good Luck Buddie" comments riding my old ridged 29er there too, but never really found any trails in that immediate region that were uncomfortably challenging.
If anything the bros are all completely overbiking the whole place, but such is the mountain biking culture in that area. I hope you keep turning heads on all of the trails! -Robert On Tuesday, July 27, 2021 at 12:53:35 PM UTC-7 Ashwath Akirekadu wrote: > Yes, I too would have loved to see a video of this. > > I enjoy riding my Susie on fire roads and such, but no downhill riding > plans though.
