On my way to Sedona MTB Festival I stopped in Virgin, UT where Rampage is held. Since it was a bit windy, my first ride was on this shuttle to the Pro Tech trail Flying Monkey. I had tried this trail really quick before sunset in October when I attended Rampage, but wasn’t able to look at features properly. So this time I asked my friend Brooke Trine to walk me through all of the features to see how much of the trail I could conquer. Tech riding does not come easy to me since there really isn’t much of it at all where I live, so I’ve been trying to test myself with it more lately. The exposure on this trail is what makes it the most scary!
