Skills Clinic # 2: Sam the Olympian and Robert the Slayer

Oh, I'm sorry.  Were you confused as to who MT Alpha is and what we actually do?  Was it not plainly obvious by the name of this blog?

Well, let me clarify your confusion with this picture of me ripping down a new section of trail at Marshall:




Yes.  We ride bikes.  On mountains.  And look pretty dang good doing it.


Not only that, we have Godfathers who teach us how to ride bikes better.  And we have an amazing photographer who documents our journey down technical single track, up tough switch backs and through our everyday success.



Cool.  I'm glad we cleared that up...


MT Alpha was coach by two World Class mountain bike racers two nights ago: Sam Schultz and Robert Sayler.  You might have heard of them.
Note: You'll have a chance to watch one of them at THE OLYMPICS in August!  So proud of you, Sam!


To the men reading this: I know. I know that you really wish you were a women right now so you could be an Alpha.  I know that each of you have huge man crushes on Sam and Robert.  I know that you're so jealous.
Bummer.


In an effort to make you feel a little bit more included in our greatness, here are the key take-aways from the clinic:

Sam: If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up to much space

Robert: Extend, bend and slam.

Hope that helps you guys out.

See you this weekend at Homestake XC and Disco Mountain Boogie!
