Rainy days, low temperatures and having to choose the right tea flavor instead of tire compound means that winter is just around the corner. Our lifestyle has changed drastically since bikeparks are all closed down and sun sets early. Less biking means there's time for other things we usually can't do in summer because we spend all the sparetime biking. We think now is the right time to share a video we filmed on one of the last weekends of our summer to throwback the good days we had riding and remember ourselfs how fun it is to ride a bike.
I had a few good days riding Morgins in the past including the one we shot the video and the photos. It might be one of the smaller bikeparks in Portes du Soleil but the diversity and flow of the trails make me go back year after year.
We've been on top of the bikepark for sunrise that morning to get the best light. I wasn't quite awake when we started shooting which ended in a pretty bad OTB crash in one of the fast berms. Going down hard is definetly not what you prefer to a coffee in the morning but i was definetly ready for shooting afterwards. We keep the shot for our season ender - it's a good one!

Thats a pretty philosophical statement, gonna need to elaborate on that.
