      I mean it would be fun to do that now anyways. Kinda like skiing. Now pedaling, just a nice smooth flow down the hill and try to maintain the momentum and not crash.

    It's crazy to realize how much more potential you've got when you have to rail into the turns like that when you know braking isn't a option. Gwin definitely went for it!
    Not to take anything away from him, Harts run in the rain is the most inspiring for me.
