Early Season Riding

Been having a blast ripping the DH parks so far this season. With 6 days already spent DHing my progress has been awesome. Picked up where I left off last year and have made some significant improvements in my jumping skill.  I have been putting in a few "shorter" days at Killington just due to life being busy. Its been an awesome start and as long as I can avoid injury it will be a sick season.
The YT Tues has been a big game changer and probably the most beneficial aspect to riding a Big Bike is that its a lot more forgiving to my body. Its also super fun due to the higher speeds achievable.  It ups the ante for the crash factor but its been a fair trade off. The bike is mostly dialed in but I need to continue to tweak settings to hopefully get it perfect.
I have a Rylo cam on order that should be here mid week. I'm hoping it adds an element to my videos that will help elevate them to the next level.  The footage I have seen looks great but I am not seeing that many MTB folks using them in new or creative ways and the reviews as a MTB POV has not been that positive. Fingers Crossed on the Rylo.
I am hoping that when Jennifer heals up we can get some time at Kingdom and I would love to get back to Vietnam and Beebe Hill.  I am also really hoping she's cool with the new bike that I bought. I blame 90% of her injury on the bike she was riding. So with a new ride that is capable of the trails we ride I am really hoping she can mentally get past the injury and continue on the path she started this season on. She had been making major skills and confidence improvements.
