After a long season of hard work at Chatel bike park, Alex needed to get back to his roots - steep, untamed, rutted, rooty tracks of Morzine. A few days of sun meant the conditions were all time, and loads of fun were had.

 Couldn't have said that better... People nowadays think that "style" is only tricks and stuff, but this is one hell of a stylish rider.

 I rode this last month, it's an unreal track! Shame the camera never does the steepness any favors, it's so much steeper than it looks. RAD TRACK.

 Doubt I'd be that fast on buff singletrack. Railing that rooted turn at :59 is one of the more impressive things I've seen.

 Ridden this track and the camera does not do the size of the roots justice... So much fun, but hard work on the arms
