Italian's snow ride !!

Hello everyone, this is my first photo summary here on Pinkbike !!

Saturday, February 7th, I was shooting with a chunk team during their workout of freeride on the snow made a few days before on our mountains here in Schio (Vicenza-Italy).
The snow this time was very different from the previous ride (in December 2014), heavier and the guide was much more problematic.
Powder snow it's better !!
Nevertheless we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and we have take home also nice shoots about the day.
Below I report someone ... I recommend , commented expressing your opinions about that !!



The track it's long about 1.4 km; at the first jump there was lot of snow that made it difficult ... Paolo and Michele have managed to overcome it without problems...
we can not say the same for Michele and Davide that have had some hesitation on it ....


So funny crash for Michele, he was on his first meters ever with his new Polygon bike... " i was too slow there but i have wanted try the same ..." he has said after that ...



Second part of the track where appeared difficult to not crash even without a big slope, there was lots of snow for our standard ... like 20 cm more less ...
Don't laugh about that we aren't in rocky mountains !! Our mountains are 1200 m high !!



Here we come in the final part where there was much less snow, with very fast section and open curves ... the problem could be how to slow down there !!


Michele on the final jump , the sun behind is going down and evidence that the time is finished yet ...


Videos view about that jump...




Riders:

Paolo Sberze (Ancillotti)
Michele Fancon (Polygon)
Michele Laghetto (Kona)
Davide Trevisan (KTM)


Good ride, sunny and funny afternoon !!

See you there !!.
