Of all the trails to film on, that's the easiest - it's good riding, but way gnarlier stuff, that's more picturesque to be had at that resort. Some of the shots, features, woodwork and natural stuff on the Venosc trail would have made for a better edit IMO

Bit meh for me I'm afraid. The trail looks fun enough but it's not particularly interesting as these things go. The light is all just super-bright and quite flat too. Some of it looks almost over-exposed and quite washed out - don't know if that was deliberate. And the vest top is definitely questionable. 🙂

Not as good as it looked from the very cool title image posted in the OP. Nice riding though.

Fair play Duane. I'm impressed even if some of the armchair champions aren't. I was watching the riding and the scenery, not your outfit.

Keep it up bro.

PS was it you I sold an s-works enduro to yonks ago when we used to be on UK-MTB?

alpin, yeah it's me.

Beater vest is great, don't get to wear one much in the UK!

Aphex, the sandy brown one? If so, yup, that was me! Thanks for that, was a great bike.

I liked it. It reminded me of why I like Les 2 Alps.
Also liked the lack of slo-mo and "arty shots".

Not to worried he was wearing a vest, look at some of the stuff other people
On here wear when they go riding.
