Canadian spirit here in our French Alps, where Simon is riding a uniquely humid trail, through that spectacular greenness that is so similar to Canada's West Coast.
Just shows you, all the editing in the world and nice back drops can't make the riding more interesting. Bit dull really. Least he's trying though, I couldn't make a video of an earthquake look exciting :-P
Nice, great, superb, great riding...but ok I'm going to say it and get a lifetime of negative props...but don't most of do this kind of thing of thing on single crown forks and with an open face helmet? This takes nothing away from the production values, pat youself on the back
Only someone with enduro hang-ups could draw that conclusion. I think the Bike Park Wales vid 'Enter the Dragon' illustrates my point far better than I could.
The parts they filmed are relatively flat(tish), but the track does get a lot steeper towards the end. It was however fine on my smaller travel bike (150-160mm).
I would prefer having a full face helmet though...
(I really hope this is the track I think it is, otherwise I will look stupid...)
Honestly Da'U flop flop flop. I found that this is too much noise for what it is, even thought it makes me want to know where this trail is? And please if you post something on the internet be open to criticism.
Thought the riding in this was awesome, so much control over that bike! So long as you're enjoying where you're riding, it doesn't matter if it's 'big' enough for a DH bike.
Don't get me wrong this was a great video, but I'd really appreciate it if you guys would stop putting in shots of trees and slow mo pedaling and try to focus more on the riding.

I like it green like that :-)
Am I right ??
(but those trails from Les Arcs to Bourg Saint Maurice are great !)
