So my motivation is my 16 year old daughter, You can check out her skills at:

If I don't keep riding, there is no way I will be able to keep up with her, as it is now she waits for me at the top of the hill

also I make a cameo in the video, look for a big chubby clyde standing at the top of the hill watching as she rides down the trail.
