Dillema. I was in grade 3 and was late for school, man she would’ve flipped if she found out.

Best over the handlebar moment?
Mont Sainte Anne, 2008 during my race run. I went over twice, but was having so much fun that I just couldn’t slow down. I ended up finishing 2nd by 0.15 seconds, I should probably slow down and stop having fun.
