Take another perspective at the art of roosting with these spectacular images:

Dust Apocalypse
One of the craziest dust conditions we've ever seen gave us the opportunity to film these insane dust explosions that prove that a mountain bike truly is one versatile machine.

Dust apocalypse
This is probably what riding MTB is going to look like if global warming hits us hard! 

Dust Apocalypse

"The closest thing to riding in these condition I can relate to is shredding powder in the winter, you are floating over the track. One of the most scary parts is that the dust is so thick that you can’t see the big rocks that are hidden under it, you always have to be ready for whatever comes at you." - Fabien "Cous Cous" Cousinié

Dust apocalypse

"At the beginning of the year we started to be a little tired of slomo, but after this shoot, slomo all made sense again to really appreciate those roosts." - Jean-Baptiste Bazzarini

Dust apocalypse

"I only had the opportunity to shoot this kind of dust in BC before, believing I will never find the same in Europe. I was wrong and Couscous ate shit for the dust apocalypse in Les 2 alpes." - Jules Langeard

Dust apocalypse
Fabien "CousCous" Cousinié was like a kid in a sand pit, shameless and riding as hard as he could until the roosts were covering him head to toe.

 Don't skid the trails, it ruins them. Would have been nice to see a little of it at regular speed with no background music, the sound has to be something else.

 Does it rain a lot in the UK? Never heard anyone mention much about mud and the UK on Pinkbike.
  • 1 1
 in north wales it does. very severely.

 I find that more than "a lot", UK gets rain "often". The quantity of water falling is nothing exceptional, but it can rain once or twice per day, easily. A whole week with no rain and BBC starts calling it drought emergency Smile
