Our Fast Doesn't Age campaign is about exactly that. Going fast, no matter your age, is downright fun. We wanted to get back to the simple, pure joy of riding a bike, so we asked our athletes to share some of their earliest memories of riding a bicycle. It made for some great stories, and some proper old school photos.
First up, we're sharing Tyler McCaul's memories.
What/when is your earliest memory of going fast on a bike?
My first memory of going fast is from the time I hit my first big jump. I was 9 years old, and it was the biggest jump in town at the time that only my brother and a couple of his friends could hit. I wanted to hang with them, so I kinda had to do it. I can still remember looking down in the air at how fast the ground was moving underneath me, and from that moment on I was hooked.
Really.
Friggin.
Grateful.
THREE WORDS // ONE FEELING
What/when is your most recent memory on the bike, which gave you a similar feeling?
I'd say the canyon gap that was in my line at Rampage this past year. The space between me and the ground may have been a lot bigger than that first big jump I hit, but the feeling was the same.
