A spell of late night boredom prompted a review of summer’s Alpine footage and spawned one last edit.

another great little vid!

made me feel a little better, sat at home full of man flu 🙄

..same for me..

Nice music. Think I’ll have to check out some more Midlake.

Nice one 8)

Did you go with a company or self planned?

Got a flight, accommodation & transfers package with Alpine Elements – good value, no complaints.
Bought the Mont Blanc multipass and explored the valley on our own with some advice from local/expat bikers and maps/guide books.
Didn’t miss a guide – works out cheaper and you’re free to plan your own time. There’s PLENTY of awesome trails to discover – somewhere I would definitely visit again.

Good work 🙂

Great vid guys… looks like a great place to thrash those Orange 5’s

Mostly Patriots cardo, with me on an Alpine.
Developed a case of 180mm fork envy over the holiday…
Have enjoyed riding 5’s in’t Alps but find that burlier is better for the steep/techy descents we tend to seek out.

Just watched it again, some amazing views.. and spotted the heftier forks and shocks this time. nice one

nice edit

The little tweaks that Jimbob puts in his vids that make em good I think
Heftier forks etc help out there for the bikes to survive more than owt
160mm perfect out there as long as built up to take a battering

Once you’ve been to Chamonix nowhere else will do. Already planning next year’s adventure…

I love the sweary Northerners videos.

What’s so sweary about u boys!??? Bit of a geeky name innit? 😆
who’s the old geek wi the blue elbow pads on? 😆

Looks good. I know the area well, but not on a bike

marvelous 🙂

Beyond the wizards sleeve mix of roscoe by midlake

Im off to chamonix on the 27th december for some boarding.
Its an amazing place all year round.

Cant wait for the summer now to take the bike out there and find some of these trails

I keep watching these kind of videos or maybe they are the same group of riders i don’t know, but find them most enjoyable, slightly different i would say,.
i rode Chamonix years back and seriously they are hard trails to ride, the hardest i have rode in the Alps,i down pushed most of it 😯
