Take A Lap with Damien Oton

Take A Lap with Damien Oton

There’s often a lot more to riders than meets the eye. It’s always good to see a little more of what goes on behind the scenes. Check in with Damien Oton, find a little more about him, where he lives, and then watch him rip it up.

The video has subtitles in a variety of languages, so pop them on if needed.

Family man, plumber and Orbea FOX Enduro Team rider. We travel to Ille Sur Têt, France, Damien Oton’s birthplace and current residence, where he trains on the area’s rocky trails. Close to the Pyrenees, close to the ocean, but especially close to his family.

Something that I love about where I live is that I can get out of my house and climb to the top of the mountains in just a few minutes. Also, on the other side we have the sea. It is a fascinating landscape.

Not too good about writing about myself, but not so bad at writing about other things. There was a time that I hated bikes, but then they became my life. Wouldn't be the person I am if I hadn't been on this journey. Here's to bikes, drinking tea and everything that comes with life on two wheels. I'm Lauren, I like bikes and writing about them. Always trying my best and up for adventures.
