And most of them are blind. You don't jam on the brakes like a racer. You squeeze both brakes smoothly before and half-way through the turn.
You could always just come out to the dragon and ride with a ton of us. I know it's crazy, but there is a rumor that switchbacks exist there too. OMG!

Yea I thought about that too! Maybe he's like Zeus and unable to leave his mountain of power. I swear that Lookout Mountain is the one and only place that No Worries has ever ridden!

Every time I think about that post from CEO I fucking crack up!!!

I can't really say much about that though. The only place I really feel comfortable riding fast besides the track is at the Gap.

True enough! The only places I've ever thought I was "fast" was Leonard st going to Grand Haven and Grattan Raceway.
