ing camp and I think we have a really good shot this year at winning it, as long as
we all stay healthy and don’t have any problems with our bikes or equipment. Six
days is a long time kind of ragging those things out, especially in the conditions
that we do it in, and having to work on our own stuff. It’s a tough event to keep
everything moving and not having that one fall that kind of just destroys yourself
or the bike. The team is looking really good. Like I said, we had our training camp
and everybody was riding really solid. We’re all pretty close. I think if we’re all that
close, there’s no reason we shouldn’t all be in the top ten and even fighting for
the top five and top three spots on the podium. So I think if we can have three of
us in the top five overall, we’ll be a pretty solid group of guys.
How much trials riding have you done in the past, or do you do it current-
ly, to help you with bike skills?
I had a trials bike there for a while, but I probably got rid of that thing back in
2015 or ’16 or something. It’s not too big around my area here and I don’t have
any buddies that have them. So it’s not much fun riding it by yourself, and I’m in
an area that doesn’t really have a whole lot to offer in trials riding. You just got to
make stuff up. It’s really hard to find rocks around here. It’s not much of a useful
tool for me, so I got rid of it. I don’t do much at all really anymore. n
