I have been busy getting everything ready in Morgins, Switzerland and Chatel, France for the opening day this weekend. The trails in Morgins are buffed to perfection and there is a 32 ton digger and a 3.5 ton digger working hard in Chatel giving the Mountain Style course a major make-over. Sorry for the lack of pictures but when we have not been digging we have been riding. Running trains with your friends on freshly reshaped runs is one of the better things in life. Come shred with us.
We have started filming for Kranked 8 with Steve Romaniuk and James Doerfling in some secret Portes du Soleil locations. For the next 3 weeks the riders will be sending it on custom built features in Switzerland and France.
This weekend is the Passe Portes du Soleil with 3000 participants, concerts, DJ demos, Trials demos and Bike brand expo in Champery for the Mondial du VTT.
Next weekend is the Chatel Mountain Style event with a seriously packed pro field and a completely revamped course that already has more, bigger and better lines than last year.
The weekend after is the Avoriaz Rooftop Slopestyle event so come check it out. We’re waiting…..
Here is a pic from last year.
