W all right dude I hope the other teams. are having as much fun as us they should. be. yeah we head it to the bridg ton. National Forest to do some mountain. biking 100 points easy. money today it was pretty important for.

Us to really catch up on points um. obviously yesterday it was a lot harder. to get those points while we were. fishing so while we were in Jackson and. while we're mountain biking we tried to. get as much as we could so um even for. me just getting things down like the. Bunny Hop and the Willie look at him yo. can we get points for every time you. have to land it yeah I don't think I was. moving. enough that. counts it's. good oh that was that was nice you got. it there you go hey how's it going guys. yeah welcome we're going to ride here in. Bridger ttwn National Forest have some. fun today should be able to see some. good views and uh should probably get. rolling cuz it's starting to rain here. yeah we'll just go ride some fun Trails. here here we. come there's a little bit of mountains. poking out there. we had an amazing riding session Cassie.

Showed us the ropes took us on some. really fun. Trails um obviously Michaela has a ton. of experience so it was nice to be able. to be partner with someone who has huge. amount of expertise um I feel like I did. my part as someone with not a ton of. experience but I felt pretty comfortable. on a bike Tyrie you're killing it thank. you appreciate that just keeping up like. no problem. keep going into the woods sweet nicely. done I'm not this is going to be where. like I'm like actually going to be. scared I'm very scared about. this when you feel that feeling of fear. what helps you like continue pushing. yourself for me usually like when I once. I'm doing it everything else disappears. like everything goes to the background. and I'm I'm very much in that moment and. that focus of like Flow State if you. will is this where we're climbing we're.

Climbing up on there oh my. God hey hi how's it going Kayla nice to. meet you Kayla we're going to do some. rock climbing I take it yeah well we're. going to head up to Steamboat Point here. that's what this is called yep okay um. we'll probably start climbing on one of. the boulders out in front and then move. up to one of the main walls how big are. the main walls um couple hundred feet. coupet. Yes does that feel nice and snug we can. go tighter tighter okay I mean all right. I'm still terrified. but no one's half to. battle got it yeah there you go that. foot you got it I was super proud of. Kayla cuz she had never climbed before. excellent you're cruising now oh my. gosh she absolutely crushed. it doing great just stick with it you're. more than halfway this is like severe. problem. solving. nice almost there Kayla killing it tap.

The anchor you're good and you're. officially a rock climber ding ding ding. ding ding all right nice awesome Kayla. to overcome fear not fall all of it I. mean I just couldn't be prouder of the. partner that I had you did great I don't. know if I want to cry or SC uh these are. happy tears not because I was scared I'm. not scared of nothing. y'all I'm just going to knock all four. out that you've got. hung. cool I'm going to BL you on this one. we're do a ballet lesson yep ballet. lesson up with your right hand and down. with your left at the same time oh it's. a. workout been a professional ice climber. uh for I guess little almost 15 years. and Cody wyomi has been my home and I. can't can't imagine living anywhere else. I grew up in California moved to Wyoming. in 1997 you know I moved to Cody because. it was just full of Adventure and.

Growing up as a child my dad and I. hunted fishes all the time you know it. wasn't going and walking 100 yards off. the road it was always we're going to. walk down this goalie and then 5 miles. up over here and we're going to get away. from as many people as possible and so I. think I was maybe about 16 17 I was like. I I got to live here like this place is. really. cool ice climbing is a pretty. spectacular sport and my passion has. been first to sense so climbing Ice. Finding ice that's never been climbed. before and I'm on the road to Almost Do. 300 First descents uh which means that. nobody's ever seen them climb them. whatever it might be and then once you. do that you get to name them is kind of. cool but ice climbing became my. escape and it wasn't my passion anymore. and that becomes really dangerous when.

An activity that can kill you becomes. your. Escape I had to make a a choice about uh. 15 years ago um to live or survive and. um I had to jump back into this. waterfall knowing that there was a good. chance I would die who was. 50/50 surviving and being allowed to to. kind of move forward from that I. realized I just need to give 100% of. myself to these other things in my life. whether it was my daughter whether it. was work whatever it might be it changed. my life good morning I for a little clim. with my daughter my daughter has been a. driving force for me um as well as my. wife and changing my life um and we're. the perfect balance you know I love my. life I love my family and uh I love be. able to live a life in Wyoming and. sharing those experiences with. him Aaron completely crushed it on one. of the hardest things I've ever seen.

Someone climb and the scenery was. breathtaking with the clouds and the fog. rolling. in we needed points so we dug deep we. endured the rain on a really hard route. kind of sparked a little bit of rock. climbing to me again cuz I haven't done. it for a long time I'm so proud of you. they are not winning they are not. winning since today was the one mountain. biking day I wanted to take full. advantage and get as many points as. possible for our team especially since. yesterday with the fishing we didn't do. so good so I actually went out on my own. rode a black diamond Trail Double Black. Diamond. Trail hiked up some more did a tobogan. got some. points hit a tabletop got some. points shr the BM as best as I could in. the conditions got some points. my role in the mountain bike scene has. shifted over the years I started off.

Racing cross country and Road and then. transitioned into racing the downhill. World Cup circuit did that for about 9. years now I would call myself a free. rider SL Adventure SL lifestyle athlete. um still have to send it still have to. look good. I feel like my adventurous Spirit um. comes by honestly my father is a very. accomplished sailor he raced across the. Atlantic and my grandparents were also. quite adventurous and um I want to have. stories to tell my grandchildren just. like they've told me so um I think. that's what drives me the most deep down. is just kind of wanting to live like. they've lived are you writing to if you. were to ask anyone else what my greatest. accomplish lishment would be they would. probably say F the girls which is a. music video I made her last whip. viral it's a parody but it's all it's.

Definitely not a parody it's a. rap and it was at a time when me too. movement was happening and women's. voices were actually just starting to be. heard and respected in a way that they. hadn't before so it was a bit of. Uncharted Territory and it had a really. massive impact so I would say giving. people confidence in themselves I would. say is like on a deeper level I guess. when I feel like the most. purposeful we are in Cash Creek and we. are about to meet up with Teton. adaptive they provide access to people. with disabilities to get out into nature. out into the outdoors and our task today. was to learn how to use the Adaptive. bikes so these are called the boohead. reaches and they are the most fun. because they have all this freedom of. movement so you can lean them side to. side it allows the opportunity to get in.

Into some pretty adventurous areas so. really the goal in the end is how do we. make our public lands work for everyone. cool yeah I love that that's amazing. thank you should we go ride ride let's. do it let's do this I really hope it. don't fall I'm excited. for both of the Bronco ambassadors to be. able to get on these and see what. they're all about but I'm a little extra. excited for Michaela cuz she comes from. such a mountain bike background oh my. god do you have like abs of steel I have. no ABS no ABS what how do you do that. both him and I are doing this with like. 70 80% of our body paralyzed. insane. yeah that tool you kind of feel it but. Caleb that was perfect slow and all. right wow that's hard we learned about. the different mechanics of the bike we. then actually got to go with Joe and. Jack which is one of the participants on.

The trail and just get to see not only. how fun it is but also how challenging. it could be to just sort of get started. I was trying to like rewire my brain a. little bit to forget everything I knew. about mountain biking I think Tyrie did. a lot better than me he kind of just. like hopped on and like was like like. yeah he killed. it. yo thank you we're a pretty small. organization here trying to do a lot and. the bulk of our funding comes from. Individual donors and it's pretty. amazing to see how far we can take that. funding with the goal of just trying to. shift the perspective and make sure that. they know that life is awesome and they. can have a really positive outlook if. they're just given the opportunity. it was just a really really amazing time. with those guys and we actually got to. give them a grant from the Bronco wild.

Fund of $20,000 to help them get even. more people with disabilities out into. the outdoors for getting people Outdoors. responsibly and just all the amazing. work that you all are doing thank you so. much thank you both absolutely yeah yeah. for sure now we'll just be able to share. that much more with people with. disabilities and their friends and. family. so this gift is massive to help us. further our. mission the thought of people not having. access to something just because of. their physical being breaks my heart and. it goes for. everyone the outdoors is like my whole. family and like me it's like a. lifesaver should be for everyone what. else that's it good oh okay you just. need me to. cry D are we really about to get tattoos. it won't hurt that bad dude you've. absolutely done worse stuff right yeah I.

Bet you mky and Kayla got. tops ready for this no going back hello. honey um at a tattoo shop I am. contemplating where to put the tattoo I. think that you will cry like a baby if. it's on your ankle. very painful spot to get. it so I wouldn't embarrass yourself all. right nobody likes to cry baby thank you. honey. bye I think just on the bottom of my toe. on the bottom I think I might just do. that is that going to hurt cuz I want to. surprise people and be like boom tattoo. bam H it partner bam. well there's no going back now guys the. thing I do to make sure Andrew and L. don't win I keep forgetting I got this. cowboy hat. on that's the best part it didn't hurt. that. much anything for points this is. 12200 just don't. cry all. right that escalated quickly we have a. Bronco tattoo for 600 points and a. Wyoming tattoo for 600 points I'm you.
