WE TALK TO SIX-TIME US TRIALS CHAMP RYAN
YOUNG ABOUT MINDING FOR PAT IN 2017
What area did you see the biggest improvement
in Pat this year over last year?
He had a couple areas of big improvement. One is
riding in the mud. He practiced a lot of slippery ter-
rain, so when it was wet he was pretty dialed in on the
slippery stuff. The other big improvement was his atti-
tude. He wasn’t defeated before the event even start-
ed like in the past. If it was slippery he would pretty
much be defeated before he even started. So he had a
really good attitude, very positive, never gave up and
never lost his cool. We had some fiascos that in the
past would have just ended our day because of the at-
titude “I already lost.” This year, we would fight to the
very end, and it really paid off in several occasions. So
believing in himself and staying positive all day long.
