do not try this in sf.

Jake Bombs A Big Hill at 40mph from Patrick Lawler on Vimeo.

this is why i dont bomb hills that i cant swallow, i dont really put my trust into powergrips, and im reluctant to up a riser setup.... there's a reason why mash sf and macaframa bikes utilize bullhorns: because of thir forward nature, it's much easier to get into a skid position that can be held for a long period of time.

those sf hills will do you hella dirty. at least homeslice was wearing a helmet. let this be a lesson to all the sf riders (i hear there's a sh*t load of them now), please, be safe and dont tale on hills that you cant swallow without taking precautions- just because dudes in mash sf and maca and tbt can bomb hills doesnt mean it's the safest thing to do. if you get to 2:00, look at his face. i sh*t bricks when i saw how utterly scared he was. dont let that be you.

and when in doubt- TED SHRED THE SH*T OUT OF YOUR SNEAKERS.
(ted is actually an awesome dude who lives in chico now. chico for the win.)
