    1. Thanks for the great footage . sure you guys had a blast . When will you grace us in Cape Town and check out all our amazing trails. Well worth showcasing what we have in the Western Cape of South Africa . Cheers guys and thanks you all for another amazing episode

    2. Is it just me or does every mountain biker busting out a big manny pretend they're blipping the throttle on a Suzuki RM 250? I am sure I heard Blake or Rich busting out the sound effects. ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ‘ Awesome looking trails there in Austria. As usual Blake was clocking up the frequent flyer miles. The wall ride was epic, Rich held it beautifully. Good to see the Auf Deutch boys getting in on the action too. Great video guys. How much punishment do you guys put your camera crew through? Now that would be a great behind the scenes video.

    3. the answer to your question is – albeit very subjective to taste – a very loud and clear NO! from practically anyone who was in saalbach/leogang AND portes du soleil.
