Mountain Bike Photo of the Week: Hammering

This photo done by Tom VH really reminded me of the feeling you get when hammering the flats on an XC mountain biking trail just before gravity is about to assist as you make your way to a downhill. That anticipation for the next twisty, flowy section in between the trees and the load you place on your legs trying to get there is fast as possible…is the experience of getting ready for the next descent.

The tires start ripping dirt and rocks…your heart rate climbs…and then when you finally get there…the freewheel of your hub is all you hear as you get pointed down. Wind, dirt and focus is all that is left.
