Yo, Braden, see any underage girls today? AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. You're a bro for sure.
even if they did there would be a massive lineup of bikers waiting to get their bikes up the mountain two at a time.
You can always hitch a ride up with private teams, random people riding, or anyone else who's driving to the top.
