I only max at about 38-40 not trying to set any dh records on the ride. If I tried, maybe 41.

I have a hard time on the descents when riding with Gina and others cause I have to ride my brakes when usually I don't. IMO riding the brakes is scarier that just letting it roll. It's much smoother steering without brakes. You can see in the vid how much I am braking and braking is what scares me on this ride. Sounds funny but it is true.
