After two years without riding stairs, it was time for a session in the city of Grasse in the South of France. Since 2014, an Urban Downhill event is organized there and features some super cool stair sections. I missed the event this year but made it back to ride the track and some other spots around.
Such a different kind of riding from usually but just as fun.

Me: Well that's completely unsafe, there's no way he can brake safely if there's someone round that corner. Remy: Rides it four times more quickly than I was imagining, there *is* someone round the corner, stops before they even noticed he was there and engages them in charming conversation.
Remy provokes the ire of landscapers in this town. He runs over the plants not once, but twice to practice the sick stair ride.
Also - dude on the yellow bike at 8:00 is out practicing the same lines, just doesn't feel the need to use all the protective equipment.
Finally, why did the least frightening feature (to me) get Remy to utter "This is so sketchy" at 9:33? He went through a tunnel. Remy, are you afraid of the dark or did I miss the sketchy part?
I only don't know who put this stupid line on the homepage of pinkbike: "To practice for the Red Bull Monserrate Cerro Abajo, Remy hit the streets of his home city."
@malamadre: Well it clearly says this on the mainpage on pinkbike: "To practice for the Red Bull Monserrate Cerro Abajo, Remy hit the streets of his home city."
Damn, BetaMTB looks to have an interesting article about the "Right to Modify Your Bike" and we are stuck on pinkbike with endless video streams and shitty product placements ... I still won't pay for BetaMTB, but I do wish Pinkbike would have more original content.

That race is already over.....
Because Remy wasn't even a participant of the race.
