Serpentine is a nice run no matter what your skill level but you do have to respect the mixture of abilities you'll find on that sort of trail. It's not the kind of trail most people would do lots of laps of as It's quite long and the lift queues can be epic.

The way Chatel bike park is laid out gives you a lot of options for the second half of the hill, but a lot of the reds (and all of the blacks) on the top section of the park are quite challenging - if you're not on your game or you just want to preserve your arms/brakes/tyres it's not a bad idea to "poach" one of the easier trails, but respect it for what it is.

"Stormtrooper" is just a outfit - not a mindset. It's the kids in wife-beaters and neck braces you need to watch.

I would have to disagree with you there, I always ensure my clients wear full protective gear to start with especially when they choose the upgraded skills course which involves ridding alpine descents, the key with mountain biking is 'confidence' once they feel confident they then have the mental tools to take a positive aproach to riding something they would normally feel is way out of there level, with a positive attitude they will then be focusing and have mental visions of successfully clearing that double or drop or even a technical section. I would say over 97% of my clients feel a massive confidence boost when wearing full protective gear,
I only ever wear a helmet, but I ride well within my capabilities
Even though I get told to slow down all the time!

I opted out of Serps when I was 19. If this [i]is[/i] a pension thread then I reckon it really needs work. Oh, and you should always wear appropriate PPE. (tries really hard to troll like Pussywillow - but yawns).

I had a very nice chat yesterday with a French guy who had come down the red DH at Les Gets from the Chavennes lift. No full face or body armour, except for knees. For the "awsum" OP's benefit... He was on unicycle and ride the lot 🙂 Nutter!

Rode the serpentine on Thursday. Smiled all the way down. Great fun. The north shore lite at the bottom was good too. I am definitely a serp rider.
