The air was clean and crisp as Granby Ranch bike patrol waited for the next rider to arrive. Suddenly from the trees, a blur of wheels and dust emerged onto the dirt trail. Without hesitation, the rider flew into the rock garden below, surfing gravity as he floated across the jagged boulders with precision and speed. In a moment, he was gone, disappearing into the forests below.
