I watched the Rio bike race from start to finish and Emily never gave up. She relentlessly pursued her dream and it will happen the next time. See you in Tucson in winter!
Such an awesome rider, so fast and smooth. I middle-one-finger brake on 1000cc race bikes, it gives me more linear and consistent brake feel. If I use my index finger, I feel like I can't hold the bars with the correct amount of grip and my throttle control gets ragged. I ride my Cannondale MTB the same way, although it has to be said - the uphills are easier on the motorcycle...
Awesome video and no, you are not an underdog you are one of the top dogs! :) if you won't be an inspiration for the younger generation nothing will be...
08:15 stop the Video. Here you can see its a hardtail and NO Droppost. So why the hack do you need AM or Enduro-Fullys? I say, go and learn some technique.
