Dakota Ridge trail boasts some of the most technical mountain biking terrain in the Denver, Colorado, metro area. Locals Matt Silton and his friend Russell Gray headed to Dakota Ridge for Silton's first ride of the season, which proved to be a painful one at that. In this video captured by Gray, Silton flips over his handlebars on a drop—a crash that truly made us cringe. Luckily, Silton walked away with only a few cuts and bruises and took on Utah's Ahab, Porcupine, and Slickrock trails only a few days later. You can follow Silton on Facebook here and on Instagram here.
