Colton you have been having a pretty incredible year so far. Tell us a little bit about coming back from an injury and the process that you took to get healthy again.

Coming back from injuries is always pretty difficult but what is key and what I tell myself is stay positive and do what I need to do to get to my bike and I will be there in no time. I am super stoked on this year riding my bike and having an amazing time so far can't wait for what's to come!

You went to Estonia for Simple Session and threw down some huge runs. How was it traveling internationally and what was your experience like?

Traveling to Estonia for Simple Session is definitely going to be something I remember forever.
