WoW, the Alps really are ginormous. Thanks for the vid, and the "air"

cool vid. slow d/l tho. i have 2 points to make tho:

1) cornering while seated doesn't look very optimal to my untrained eye
2) what's the deal with the train? how does it relate to the ski lift?

It's not a train, it's a Funicular

It's not a train, it's a Funicular

ok, what is a "funiculaire" (from image name) then? a train that goes up a hillside?

 

[Intenseman]

Exactly

Yeah funiculars are pretty popular in Europe.
The one in les Arcs bring you all the way from the village in the valley to the base of the ski resort in the mountain.
Badwildbad and its sick mountain bike park in germany also uses one instead of lifts to sends bikers back up. Cool stuff

 

[Mani_UT]

Yeah funiculars

Basically it is like a "cable car"

incredible!

i loved it!, with all that flow at to AIR.

looks like you know how to have fun on a bike.

i though the camera fixed to the bikes was cool,

BUT, when you had it pointed at the der, it would

have ben cool to see it go through some gears.
