@nbt...

why the long faces? you not like riding?

In each case it was the umnpteenth run past the same spot, and it was greasy conditions so we were concentrating pretty hard to get some momentum past the camera without falling. Great day out 🙂

This is mine. Sebastien Pourcel launching his Kawasaki KX450F in a quarry near Charleroi in Belgium.

We were doing a MotoGP v MXGP feature with Pourcel, Anthony West and Livia Lancelot when the photo was taken.

Pourcel was fast, while Livia Lancelot was good looking and fast!

Posted 10 minutes ago # Report-Post

Yep, Zermatt in Switzerland. That pic was taken below Gornergrat, probably about 9000ft. What was it like? Pretty amazing riding as in most Alpine places. Fantastic technical singletrack. Zermatt village is a nice place to be based also. We went with OTP who were great and the guides were superb. You can have a stab at the Swiss DH world cup course as well which is mental but a right giggle.
