This is going into year 7 Look at us Who would have thought Mommy Hello rooted MTDers Yeah I'd say I was a little more focused On racing at the beginning I was kind of struggling All morning like riding really poorly Definitely used to take racing Really seriously And it was the point of Kind of everything Took a few injuries And a lot of racing Realized that it's not It's practice day The original rooted mantra Was to go to races And to try hard As like kind of a Privateer level racer Does this answer how I'm feeling The bottom might peak You have to pay for that Lots of good reps I was 16 when I joined rooted Or something else I don't know if I had Too many expectations I mean I knew it was just like Just fun And that's exactly what it's been You know I What do you think rooted has given you What do you think you've gotten back From doing rooted My best frames I feel like this is gonna come across Maybe too corny But I do feel like rooted And like bike racing Just shaped a lot of my perspective On life Racing was so important And really just shaped like A lot of how you How you look at things And yeah It was pretty fun in the past I mean I'm really glad I did it I feel like that was a Really fun way to grow up I don't think I could think of Looking back Any other way I would want to My relationship to mountain biking Right now is a lot more healthy And a lot more sustainable And it's something I enjoy Something rather than Something I rely on I guess What do you think rooted has offered you Say just showing How fun downhill and racing can be How it's not like super serious But you still have to show up Still have to try your best But it doesn't have to be A super serious thing It can be super fun And you know It always is super fun What I would say to like younger racers Is keep trying and keep doing it Cause it's worth it Like whether you get Whether you don't make it to Race a bunch of World Cups Or you do It's such a worthy adventure And you make so many friends And yeah Obviously a big motivation of like Doing the trips And planning all these things out And like is helping Bodhi out And like I'd like to maybe see That end of it grow more like Obviously us be involved But like the I don't know Does rooted need like more young pups Maybe that's where it goes
