Living the dream is something, riding the dream is something else. Olivier Cuvet and Antoine Buffart got the opportunity to live and ride the dream all winter long in the warm Queenstown summer.
Arthur Chambre was so jealous that he flew all the way from France for a month in order to enjoy some warm days outside and capture the craziness of these two bad boys. Check out what happened when this trio gets to ride the dream on Dreamline!

Mostly the last step down - that is the craziest shit I have seen irl.
Dude-Sure!
M-Nope, nope, noooopee!
D-What happened?
M-Chickened out. Another shot?
D-Sure. Just follow me. No sweat.
M-Ok, I got this! I got this! I GOT THIS!----- NOPEDY, nope nope. Dammit!
D-Dude?!? Come on! Casey Brown and Vaea Verbeeck did this!
M-Yeah, they are friggin awesome!
But is it freeride when it's on machinebuilt park trails though?
I'd just call it sick park riding. Or long travel slopestyle technically speaking . I'd say the same about FEST, as totally incredible as the riding is. To me freeride kinda implies making seemingly unreliable shit steezy (dropping into an insane couloir, surfing scree slopes, bender deth drops, even stupid urban gaps...) ...riding a jump line trail is park.
Just words, but in a world where enduro and trail are different categories of mountain biking why not be pedantic about semantics?
