Mateo Verdier Sculpts Massive Kickers in Chatel

Digging and riding go hand in hand for some. Mateo Verdier is one of those guys, he spends his time building stuff to ride. To visualise something, to then build it and finally ride it is definitely up there with one of the most rewarding experiences you can have on a bike. He builds some pretty big stuff, even he is initially scared to hit it. Would you?

This Sundays in Chรขtel episode takes us to the surroundings of Chatel bike park. As the lingering snow still covers Chatel’s upper trail network, Mateo rounds up his trail tools and ventures further down into the leafy, loamy valley to scope out old lines and sculpt enormous new kickers.

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.
