You can always get challenged to a race up Lookout Mountain, but few race down. Most take the highway down on the backside. How come? You hardly open the throttle coming down, except coming out of curves. It's mostly brakes. But many riders don't know how to use their brakes going into a downhill curve, let alone how to use both of them.

Shit the only racing around here is straight lines. Or if a farm boy asks if you want to race him on his dirtbike when he picks the course.
