The bikes are waiting in the dark corners of your garages. Your pads are ready and clean. They smell like they were new. I guess your mum washed them during the cold days. Helmets are dusty. There was no wind blowing around them while they were waiting to get used by YOU to smash down some trails. The cold and snowy days have nearly disappeared. Flowers and everything in the nature shows that it is going to be time to start the new season. So YOU better be ready and put your tanks on to shred this coming season!

Big thanks to our sponsors: KMC, Bikepark Leogang, Scott Sports, Alpinestars, Bell Helmets, Adidas Eyewear, Maxxis, Kore, MRP and Five Ten

 Fantastic!
Still in full winter/ski mode here in BC, but planning a trip to the Alps and Leogang for August/September.... watching this video raised the stoke factor by a 100%.
Thanks guys!

 Yeah i dont understand why you'd go to the alps when you live in bc scene change is nice i guess...

 If i lived in canada, i wouldn't go on a trip to leogang. It will be a dissapointment, for sure. Only 4-5 trails. Please go to whistler.

 Guys, thanks for the comments.... trust me, I do go to Whistler. I was born in the Alps and have to go to visit family. Can't leave without my bike and not go for a ride for three weeks, so that's why. I do agree, we have world class riding here in BC, but if I have to leave, I might as well check out some other areas ;-)

 Days are getting shorter here & we've just had our first genuine taste of brutal winter-like weather for months... It's depressing. I envy you Northerners at the at this stage of the year.

 Why does it matter to you canadians if you guys get so much snow. You have the mountains and thr forests. Clear out tiny strips to ride.. where I live, its all FLAT and we get some snow.. either way watch the movie life cycle ans watch the segment ofthe shredder shredding snow.

 It´s the new Scott Gambler. Bike park Leogang is now sponsored by Scott instead of Kona so you see quite a lot of them there.
