Horse Thief Bench Drop In Ride.mpg

This is my little story about riding the drop in to Horse Thief Bench. I used to ride it fearlessly until one year ago a rock flipped up into my chain ring and endoed me in the worst spot. This broke my right wrist, put me in the hospital with a severe concussion overnight and really messed up my face.

I have been afraid of it ever since. I have lived in fear of it for one year and on the anniversary of the crash I went back and rode it cleanly! It was easy and now I am over it.

Video never does anything justice.  It is intimidating. It is not that hard but the consequences from a mistake can be big. You just have to respect it. I am a pro DH racer but don't ride it without a full face....anymore.....

What the hell this look so easy lol. All these videos of this make it out to be so impressive but any decent rider could do this easily.
