Setup notes
Hans runs brakes run moto style (rear brake on left) and he makes sure to run his brake levers as inside as possible, so his finger is using the outside of the lever as much as possible to get the most leverage. Hans uses CTD modes of the rear shock fairly often. If the ride gets aggressive, he'll leave it in Trail mode rather than Descend.
