Whose Afraid of the Big Bad New Trail?

If you ride DH, your lady will think you’re cool…
There’s something about riding DH that get’s Priscilla to pay more attention to me. I’ve benefited from having her wow at my awesome-tastic DH skills and the occasional podium makes it even sweeter. So if you feel like you need to turn…
