I had no brakes after most of the runs

LoL your own fault…
dropping a hot formula 1 brake and rotor in a cow's water trough (spelling?) didn't help and as you said yourself you a big lad (imagine a bouncer on a bike for size purposes)

haha, no such issues this year, when i go back next year i know what brakes i'll be using.

ahwiles I'm afraid to say there is no way in hell you are going to find some of the best stuff. Maybe you could subtly follow someone 🙂

heading out there on Friday. Stayed with Trail Addiciton for the first year but we've hired our own chalet out in Bourg this year.

has anyone got any pictures or videos of the new bike park stuff.. The slopestyle, 4x and northshore tracks ?

(i'm jon's bro)

okay bert!, I'll give Jon a nudge, . . . if I can catch him?

Some nice riding going on there.

Spent a couple of days there last year. Loved it. Really, really, really liked it. La Varda = Lovely.

Avid Juicy brakes and Shimano Saints always served me well in the Alps.

The bikepark opened when we were there; it doesn't flow that well and the 'natural' elements (burms & made trails) need a bit of time to settle in. I think with a full day sessioning it may be quite fun.
