Five months after a nasty crash at the Tour of the Gila race in New Mexico, BMC's Scott Nydam is back on the bike, but these days that bike is usually a mountain bike.

Scott is riding the mountain bike to brush-up on his balance and bike handling...two skills that were affected by the brain injury he suffered at Gila.

We caught up with Scott on a fund raising ride for the NorCal High School Mountain Bike League this past weekend. He talks about his recovery and his off-road rides in the following CycleTo video.
