Nate

Vultures Knob, Wooster OH

June 2025

Nate doesn’t race. Nate does everything behind the scenes like mowing, trimming, clearing. He holds down the grill when NOMBS holds races at VK. He’ll frequently say he’s headed home the day before a race, but inevitably end up returning to hang out by the fire and sleep the night off in his hammock. Usually he’ll sneak in several rides before and after the race.
