You are now more qualified to be in office than anyone currently in office or running for office. And you ride bikes, so I'd vote for you. #Preach4Pres

Preach, as part of your constituency, I have to ask. What will you be doing to Make 26ers Great Again?

Not gonna watch. I'm planning to hit a sick 2-foot booter this weekend and don't want to be in my head.

@Seawild66: Name some places then....unless youre showing off that southern hospitality that KY is known for.

It could be worse, the highest point in Florida is 345 feet. Not even deserving of a Mt. designation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britton_Hill

Notice how not one of them gave a name to a trail or any DH in Kentucky???????

@kymtb0420: Sugarcamp Mtn, both Pine Mtn and Black Mtn have had dh races in the past, Both Union College and Lindsey Wilson had their own private courses, as well as Kincaid in Perry/Knott Co. So yes. Dh exists in Ky. Grew up there, raced all this in the late 90’s-mid 2000’s.

@jackscompletelackofsurprise: just watched a couple of videos of pine mountain and sugarcamp. I'm mad that kymba up here has no info about these trails. I am definitely going to check them out this summer and will spread the word more. I knew about Lindsey Wilson and road there (2 co workers raced there) and they've never mentioned sugarcamp or pine. Shame on them as well.

Why do I always watch these videos? Friday fails is one thing, but a crash that would take out someone like Silva is gonna be bad.

Its the new pinkbike field test segment: Huck to Splat.

Hope you heal up well, a femur break is a serious one.

It sucks he broke his leg. I feel like Silva's walked away from gnarlier falls.

It's just the way the dice roll sometimes. I managed to snap my femur in 2 places riding around a switchback at under 10 mph. Healing vibes out to Adolf, I hope this doesn't keep him off his bike for too long.

It looked like he rolled out of the crash pretty good. Just goes to show how razor thin the margin of error is for these chents.
