just cuz this pic isnt freeriding or hardcore DH, it still is mountain biking, and its pretty sick!

lars1995 (Feb 1, 2012 at 0:27)

his daily ride to work

looks pretty sick!

BigRedBike (Feb 1, 2012 at 10:33)

This is why everyone in Switzerland needs to rally to stop the ban in Canton Bern. What Canton comes next after Bern? Maybe this one? Stand-up and make noise. Oppose the ban.

suicidedownhiller (Feb 1, 2012 at 14:47)

Excuse my ignorance here, but uh...What?

meganine (Feb 1, 2012 at 17:40)

The ban on what?

riley-blott (Feb 1, 2012 at 21:10)

planning to ban mountain bikers from using trails in the canton of Bern

hillatoppa (Feb 1, 2012 at 2:43)

Switzerland without the snow is beautiful.

yeti85 (Feb 1, 2012 at 3:21)

Love coming home from class and seeing the POD especially when it's as epic as this one.

chiar (Feb 1, 2012 at 18:41)

airsoftesneeto (Feb 1, 2012 at 0:10)

this makes me really wanna ride!!!!

FunnBOB (Feb 1, 2012 at 2:32)

Lets hope he won't get fined for riding that trail in the future!

Marco-IT (Feb 1, 2012 at 5:08)

that trail is in another Swiss region, no closed trails there (and better weather, haha).

FunnBOB (Feb 1, 2012 at 5:20)

I know, I lived near Thun for 2 years. I haven't heard of any news about that region, or did the post include the whole Berner Oberland as being banned?

My mates tell me the riding season was over about 2 months ago near the Niesen. They say snow is the cause, something one never sees in the United Arab Emirates

jumpbikejames (Feb 1, 2012 at 4:51)

stop complaining this is a sick pod! lovin it

hurtinunit (Feb 1, 2012 at 9:51)

nouser (Feb 2, 2012 at 5:33)

dvbwn (Feb 2, 2012 at 21:23)

hoolydooly (Feb 1, 2012 at 0:00)

Bruce Lee faked his own death so he wouldn't have to have a rematch with Chuck Norris

XitsXokayXimaXdoctorX (Feb 1, 2012 at 22:29)

dvbwn (Feb 2, 2012 at 21:28)
