It's a mountain bike thing - Part 2: Turns out we are nuts! [RNL S1, Ep22]

Risk, reward and progression on our mountain bikes resonates with our souls! Join us for the 2nd part of our discussion about overcoming fear, unlocking your MTB skills and going for it! 

Join the conversation and get stoked about unlocking your skills, focusing and overcoming obstacles! Riskier features and trails seem to be more rewarding to conquer on our mountain bikes.  What are the reasons that push mountain bikers to attempt dangerous trails, jumps, drops and features?  Would you (or have you already!) attempt the "White Line" in Sedona or "Portal Trail" in Moab?  Flow on the bike, flow in life!
