reece wilson

to be fair, i didn't know much about reece wilson beyond his flying scotsman moment. downhill isn't, and never has been my thing. that said, cycling is cycling so there's always something of interest. and, it turns out, he's well known in my bike shop! in this case it's the psychological aftermath of the crash, the 'flow' that he describes, that'll be familiar to anyone creative. and, while he seems to have a healthy fatalism, i'm never less than taken aback by the sheer scale of the dumbassery of youth - making my body ache less as a result of far less physical hammering than he's doing to himself, is a daily practice for me of necessity! lol
