He had to get that good long before it hurt so much when you fall.

I'll guess plenty of us old guys could still leave you behind on our favorite tracks or trails.

the kid is saying more power to the guy taking the risk, he's not into it, and it sucks to be envious of that guy. mature attitude for a 13yo wish i could say the same when i was 13 or 30 :think:

Yeah, I think he was (sorta) being respectful in a 13 year old sort of way. His post was easier to understand than Gomer's. :rotfl:

I've never been to Pala, but those who have say that the jump is a bit shorter and less radical than it was for the AMA national. Younger riders routinely huck this jump, but not many riders from the "creaky bones" set want to.

And I'm sure that there are riders younger than 13 that can do it as well. :nod:
