This video is an update on the Snow Valley local named Chris "stick" that was in a video last year that was riding his dads old mountain bike, I noticed him shredding the big line last year from the lift and it blew my mind on the bike he was riding on. After meeting him and following Chris down a lap, I saw this kid has the drive and skill to really shred but was limited by his bikes ability. Not too long after I posted the video of Chris on my channel I was reached out to by a very generous person named Rick Ponce, He said his son outgrew his current bike and they were going to sell it but after seeing the video The Ponce Family did what very few people would do... They gave Chris the bike, but neither of us knew how to get a hold of Chris, All I knew was his mom worked at the mountain, So after contacting the Arrowbear media guy (Damon) he got me in touch with a way to get the bike to Chris, Rick dropped it off about a week later on closing weekend at Snow Valley and surprised Chris with the bike. It was one of the coolest things I've ever seen come from making these videos. Such a huge risk to give someone you've never met a bike but turned out to be for such a great cause. Chris was so stoked his and Dad reached out to me (Chris doesn't have any social media) with a letter he wrote and a drawing he made that is in the start of the video. So awesome seeing what a great community the mountain bike world has. So click play and check out my first time riding with Chris aka "Stick" on his new bike. Hopefully more videos with him to come this season! Also a huge thank you and shout out to The Ponce Family for making this all happen! Click play and enjoy!
Here's the video of when I first met Chris:
