I posted this photo up a little while ago but the file size was so small you couldn't see it well. Here is a little bigger one. I think the pic is sick!

Jeremie Reuiller took the photo.



That is me on a trail I built in Morgins, Switzerland. That trail is super fast with loads of g-outs in the berms. The trail is called "Laderupe" and it gives a new meaning to the word pinned. If anyone comes over to check it out next summer then get in touch for some hot laps.

"Did I mention that my average day sh*ts on the best day of your holiday? No? Well, it does."
Haha, I did notice you were in BC for a pretty long time, eh? I need to make it back over there one of these years.

Bullcrew: That is a Muddy Mary 2.35 GG up front and a Wicked Will 2.35 on the back. My back tire started to slip a bit on that one. Thanks for the props.

I was looking at the line but the photographer was in my line, hehe.

Still here, will be in Whis again next season. Great riding and the people are nice... otherwise meh. Keen to check out the PDS (with bike this time!) at some point though, hopefully be over for worlds in 2011.

Nice snaps!

The last one is from Chatel right?

Man that trail was beat up in early August. :)
When Chatel is beat come over to Morgins. We never let the brake bumps get out of hand. Seb and the diggers in Chatel have so many trails to look after and a bunch of events to organize that sometimes Chatelaine gets some pretty mean brake bumps for a week or so. The week after they are usually good to go.

Here are a couple more pics from Brazilian photographer Pedro Cury from the Spanish magazine Planeta MTB. You can download the article here if you are interested and can read Spanish.

buckoW if I ever find you I'm going to slap the head off you....your torturing me!!! As always fantastic pics that show great riding, beautiful trails and you always seem to have good weather.

My jealousy is making me angry!

Been to PDS a few years back now and was in Les 2 Alpes this year for 2 weeks. Its been so long since the last PDS extravaganza so if I had two weeks to kill there where do you reckon is the best place in or near the PDS is to get lovely tracks that are fairly quite and not full of breaking bumps (I know the Pleney pain!)

Hey Brock.

I would stay in Chatel so you are centered and can access all the resorts easily. They just built a bunch of really sweet new stuff this fall so it will be even better next year. From there you are close enough to all the resorts to ride for a while before having to head back. You should come during the Mountain Style event.
