Nine Knights MTB is underway in Germany, where some of the world's best freeriders are getting comfortable on the massive big air jump and testing out Wittmann's trails. Read on for photos and video from day one!
---
Here we go! The nine knights, photographers and film crew arrived, and took a course walk on the Big Air Line as well as the Freeride Trail in the forenoon.
Everybody was quite stoked and as you can see, the weather on the beautiful Wildkogel was quite epic!
After the lunch and a quick jump into the lake next to the big doubles, the first training sessions were on!
Pierre Edourad Ferry was probably one of the most motivated riders of the day.
