    Tire choice is SUPER important and for maximum traction I chose Vittoria Aggaro 2.6 front and 2.4 rear. You can save 20% off your next order and get free shipping by using code Lenosky20 at check out on Vittoria.com

      Not that I’d ever ride this insane stuff, but you inspired me to buy a set of Vittoria Mazzas for my hardtail and I love these tires. Great achievement by the way, keep it up 👍

    Jeff, happy 50th birthday! You completed your rite of passage. Unlike all the other videos I've seen on this, yours fits into your theme of constantly giving guidance and instruction to others-- even while riding it. I can't say that this is the most wise location to provide guidance for others. It was definitely unique that you did it six or seven times. That seems par for the course, knowing you are a trials guy.
    I suppose you can cross that off the list, but your comments about your comfort level after having done it, concern me that you would go back and attempt it again with confidence that can only get you in trouble. I'd say this video was enough. Glad to see you survived and hope you don't bother with it again. I'd much rather continue to watch your adventures than hear about your "last" adventure. I met you in Sedona and rather not learn that is where you met death. Thanks for sharing.
