Video: Vinny T Imparts Wisdom on Young Shredders in 'Heroes Inspire Heroes'

Words: SCOTT Sports

What happens when one of the most progressive riders takes two young rippers out to shred? Find out what went down in the latest episode of Heroes Inspire Heroes.

Raoul and Emric Schneeberger - two young rippers known as Les 9 Roues - have already made a name for themselves with their recent documentary, showing how they shred and slay their way around Europe living life to the max, in a campervan with their Mom and Dad.

Age 11 and 14, Raoul and Emric are on a mission to roam around the best bikeparks they can find - the trails are their classroom, and the pros they meet along the way are their teachers.

So when Les 9 Roues rolled into Switzerland, we got Vinny T along to give a lesson. Who better to show Raoul and Emric the best local trails and hone their skills than one of the most stylish riders out there - heroes inspire heroes afterall. In this new episode, join the ride as Vinny T takes Raoul and Emric to Thun and Valbrise. Get ready for lessons in party trains, whips and big jumps - and new haircuts and foosball too.
