Ruben's First Hand recap

Ruben gave us all a little more insight into Part 2 of his First Hand episode on Fuel TV:

The second episode of this program is about riding trails because these are my favorite places to ride and I thought it could be on of the parts for my First Hand. We started in Malaga where we have two trails running now that are very good... but it was almost summer and it started to get too dry to ride them.

Then I decided to go to the trails in PA, which are the best ever and probably my favorite place to go riding. The work that they do there is unbelievable and just to go down through those lines... it gives me the best feelings on my bike that I can imagine... a very sad thing was when Sergio had a very serious crash... I was so worried for him when it happened, and to see him in that condition.

We took him to the hospital and he had to be there for over a week. The crash was so bad that nobody really felt like riding, but after going everyday to visit him and seeing that he was doing better, we started to ride again... taking it easy.

The sessions were very fun because all the lines were working great. The best thing was that by a coincidence many of my friends from around the globe were there. And even better, trail riding legends like Tim "Fuzzy" Hall and Brian Foster were there riding with us! All this made the sessions so good that it was almost unreal and result was better than I could have ever imagined.

Thank you so much to everyone that it made it happen and also to all of you who build trails. I encourage anyone who would like to have one to do it.
