Video: Introducing the Trailsidecrew

It has been a long time since three of us first had contact with downhill mountainbiking. A fathers friend was riding nearly every free second of his time when he was not working. I never thought that i will join this bike community and prefered to search for cool videos in the web. This was when i first hit the page "pinkbike.com". I was stoked about all the cool videos, photos, blogs and people. This was also the moment when my decision was made. I wanted to start with downhill more than anything else. Maybe it was luck, because this fathers friend bought a new bike and he offered the old one to me at a good price. I agreed to the offer and was soon out in the woods building some cool stuff to ride. Truely, it was just beginner level stuff but i liked the feeling. The bike i bought was a Bergamont Big Air 6.9. I was proud to be the new owner of it.

At the same time, one of my best friends saw a cheap Bergamont Straitline 7.9 and bought it, too. This way, things began to roll and everything became like it is today. We are five people, riding for fun. Now, we decided to share our adventures and feelings, so we created "The Trailside Crew". We aim to create some cool videos and images and to share them with you guys. We are gettin faster and the bikes have changed but we are still not that fast. We hope to bring the progress we are going through to all the people who enjoy watching people getting better in the things they do.

And here it is, the first video. It was recorded in the past two weeks. It was pretty slippery and muddy and it began to snow, but the overall experience was totaly great.


The Trailside Crew members life in Switzerland. This makes it much different to write blogs in english. So we can already say at this point: "We are sorry for our bad english and we hope you can read through the text anyway."

One of our targets is to create a website. I think it will follow soon (two weeks maybe) so you can find us in the web on http://www.trailsidecrew.com. We also have a facebook site, which is always good in the days of social networking. More videos, photos and stuff to follow.
