Three years after snapping my clavicle, I finally made it back to Mammoth Bike Park. And yes, I was a little nervous. Started slow, got my legs under me, and then let things rip a bit more as the day went on. A couple of harmless crashes kept me humble, but all in all, it was a good time and a much-needed confidence boost.
Trails: 🚵 Off the Top 🌲 White Bark 🎯 Shotgun 🌊 Flow 🔄 Boomerang 😎 Smooth Operator 🛑 Brake Through ⚡ Skid Marks 🛣 Toll Road
Had fun. Felt good. Next time I'll let 'er rip a bit more hopefully.

05:33Well, that was day one down of riding Mammoth Bike Park.
05:47You get two days with the Icon Pass at Altera Bike Parks.
05:51So I have one more day.
05:52We're here until a few more days anyway, so I'm hoping to get out maybe on Wednesday
05:56or Friday.
05:57I did two laps.
05:58I went back to the scene of the crime and scoped out where I'd crashed.
06:04They don't...
06:05I think they knocked down the table I fell on and now they replace it with step down.
06:09And I almost sent it, but it's just like it was in my head, man, and I was riding scared
06:14all day.
06:15I didn't feel confident at any point.
06:17I'm not really...
06:18I don't love the pumice-y, loose, stone sand here.
06:22It just wants to eat up your front tire, and that's what happened when I crashed.
06:25I landed on a table, just kind of a little bit off the trail, and that pumice just grabbed
06:29me and threw me down, snapped me in half.
06:33I'm just...
06:34I don't know.
06:35I'm not super confident when I'm riding down here, especially since the last time was that
06:39incident.
06:40I wanted to leave feeling confident.
06:42I rode down shotgun.
06:43That was fun.
06:44Nice, techy parts and a few old drops and stuff here and there.
06:48Yeah, I guess I'm going to do my second favorite thing in Mammoth, which is go get a pint of
06:52an epic IPA at the brewery and fill up my growler and head on home.
06:56So that's it for today.
06:58Hopefully, I'll remember on a mountain bike tomorrow.
07:09Back at Mammoth for another day of mountain biking.
07:11See you guys.
07:12Could build some confidence.
07:13Here it is.
07:14Come see you guys, come see you guys.
07:28And they walked by the road and you just moved from here.
07:42Oh
08:12I don't know.
08:42I don't know.
09:12Though you seem to be fine, I watched you disappear.
09:17This is me, where the head and heart collide.
09:34I went back to the scene of the crime, went around, first drop, which is where the table
09:40was that I had initially crashed on.
09:42It jumps a little bigger than I remember.
09:44I'm on the gondola now, going all to the top.
09:46I'm going to do top to bottom, skid marks, speed break through the boomerang shotgun.
09:51Down, see how I feel, maybe do another lap after that, or maybe call it.
09:58Down, see how I feel.
10:05I've been eating at this part of me and all around this fear
10:09From the sea, to my eyes, I'm alone
10:13Over fields climbing high, there's a place I go to steal
10:18Shades of green, where the light and dark divide
10:21Though I seem to be fine, there's a sense of this ain't real
10:27This is me, where the head and heart collide
10:30You were never tired of me, I felt you growing here
10:35You were never tired of me, I know
10:39I have to go back now
10:43Steak
10:44Hands are dying
11:00From the sea, to my eyes, when everything is clear
11:28And I kneel against the pulling of the tide
11:31Though you seem to be fine, I watch you disappear
11:36This is me, where the head and heart collide
11:40Oh, this is me, where the head and heart collide
11:44Oh, this is me, where the head and heart collide
11:52Follow me
11:55You como är i, pengärby
11:56Don't forget, Laura
11:57Did you score,痴, follow us
11:58I just wanna shoot
11:59Cause it's me, why the head and heart collide
