I bought my first MTB July 4 2025. Been riding as much as I can throughout the last year. Today I just hit the biggest jump line around, Hooch at Bryce Bike Park in Bayse, VA.
To give you some perspective, that first drop is about 15’ high to the landing.
I’m turning 50 in a few months, and my goal was to hit this before my birthday. A week ago I had my biggest crash on a downhill trail in Santa Fe which gave me a contusion in my sternum (chest) and I was wearing my chest protector. So yeah, I was a little nervous.
It’s not the best video, but it’s proof I did it!
I’m pretty stoked I finally put on my big boy pants and nailed this. I had to share with people that would appreciate it.

You are hammering that trail!
Let the camera face more downwards so we can see your bike. It’s hard to rate you without seeing anything.
You give me hope haha. I got myself a hardtail at 38 years and I’ve been wondering if I ever get to a point of properly shredding down a trial. Well done you!
Not bad on hooch. A little deep lol. Bryce is more trail speed and less jump technique, you don’t have to preload as much as other parks.
