So, thanks to Drez on here, I was able to record my first visit to some real mountain roads since my crash late June with a GoPro Wide. I learned that I'm still not over my crash and I'm not very comfortable going too much over the limit on 10-15mph tight turns. That may be because the roads weren't in great condition or because I don't feel like dropping another 2k in a new bike again soon, haha. In the sweepers, however, I'm as fast as I've ever been.

Nick (child-of-bodom) was simply eating up those sharp turns on his SV. As you can see in the video clips I used when he was leading, he's way ahead of me due to those turns. I was riding my own ride though, haha.

So, here's a video of my better turns on my first visit down to Tortilla Flat. Let me know what you think.

Alright, so here's another video I shot from a new angle with Nick and I went down Highway 80.

Here's yet another angle I tried out while Nick and myself went up through yarnell into prescott.
