Filmed in 4K, superb last day in the mountains, rode over to Switzerland (including some walking with the bikes) then found a mega red trail down from Avoriaz, then a red trail leading to some super steep off piste towards the village!
oh my god stop stay stay there stay thank you what a view all good never look steep on camera this is steep [Music] i’m just talking [Music] right my bike’s clean it looks like it survived right day four last day another glorious sunny day in mauzin bike check mine’s all good i did have a squeaky brake lever now it’s all right i’ve got new pads in matrix pads they seem to be they squeak like mad but they seem to be doing the job so i’m happy with them absolutely fine so uh yep chains lubed up clean the shocks the rest of it don’t bother with pointless mondrake has been superb spot on santa cruz again spot on this santa cruz has had a few minor issues but oh you just like you [ __ ] too much then look you’ve over you’ve over [ __ ] he’s over just on his jockey wheel wipe the excess gears off there you go that’s it so jockey wheels are fine but the chain did come off once but that was nothing compared to uh what had been happening to it so it’s all fine now yes he’s done a few miles in santa cruz but it’s been been spot on spot on oh big man spike’s over there uh he’s still got no brakes oh dear and i’m using my water bottle as a fire extinguisher somehow the transition looks like it’s just come out the showroom look at it look how clean it is this has been brilliant this bike considering what we do on these i don’t know how they don’t fall apart pretty amazing really there’s a bike wash around there yesterday as you saw and he was ripping on that he was fine and he’s now hiring something else not downhill because they got any more downhill bikes to hire so biggs has gone with him to our bike uh they are going to get hopefully an enduro bike but he’ll probably come back with a cross-country bike about 100 mil travel suspension but we hope not right on the left last day there he is bigfoot how much do you drink last night i think you have about five beers about two bottles of wine yeah goodness gold though if i’d have drank that i’d actually be dead now i’d have died so i didn’t drink anything really but a big man can come handle it he’s got a bit of a funny tummy but he’s all right he’s fine uh yeah we’re all good everyone’s up ed’s got another bite trail bite looks a bit yeah it’ll be all right it’ll be fine uh yeah your brakes are still shined big man has you’ve seen in the videos i’m i’m like the fire extinguisher man i fire man i come along behind him in my water bottle spraying his bloody uh breaks to cool them down but just keep running out of water so there’s some trot drinking troughs uh on the mountain so i have to keep filling my water bottle up because we bloody uh yeah ready to ride because we don’t have enough water to extinguish his steaming crazy hot breaks so uh yeah we’ll see how we go today we’re off super marzin where else we going over to shuttle oh villager what the [ __ ] this goat village amazing it’s a villain for the goats so people live there and they just let goats run around the village i can’t believe that’s real yet anyway we’re gonna go and see some goats supposedly but yeah i uh look forward to that we might go back over there to leger which is at the top over there as in over that side we might do that this afternoon but depends how we get on over here this morning but there’s no lift here today it’s change over day saturday so we’re should be quiet chair lifts weren’t that bad before our bikes have been put upside down hanging by the wheel this time no they’re both upside down it’s not really secure to me but they know what they’re doing so uh yeah here we go [Music] cool we’re just saying there’s no one here lyft’s going twice as fast as normal i think it’s changed yeah as we said change over day but i’ve not seen one bike come to ah there’s someone up there on the left two people but the first day it was busy up here but a little bit there though oh yeah changeover day jump at it it’s quiet all you need is little grasshoppers listen it’s quiet lovely it’s quiet come on get up right bike in there bike stand bigfoot’s bikestand.com come on the race is on [Music] yeah i’ve done it i’ve got anybody inside just waiting for the other guys so quiet here there’s no look that lifts normally really busy so good wow whoa back end went out so oh so nice in here oh sorry lost the front oh [Music] stop stay stay there stay thanks hi thanks got towed off y’all said stop wait oh funny right well this lift takes ages but the view from the top is mega you saw it in the i think it did this on the second day so yeah it’s superb superb i don’t know again where we’re going but we might not be going to goat village so i might have let you all down that we’re not going to goat village not far to the top now biggest man just rang me on his watch he’s chatting he’s mad up here let’s notice my my back disc is black it’s not burnt i don’t know that’s good or bad my brakes are fine they’re working really well with those pads in but my my back disc is black oh well it’s as sharp as anything still so it’s working when i get back up to double it’ll sort out make sure everything’s fine but my bike i just don’t have a little chat about it on the live my bike’s been mega all right it goes down anything it’s not a downhill bike fair enough but it can go uphill too where the downhill bikes just don’t go uphill well at all they’re awful terrible so we do a bit of uphill stuff here as well i can lock the rear shock out as well that shock isn’t an expensive shot but it’s done the job i’ve used probably eighty percent of it and the front shock i’ve probably used 90 95 of it there’s a 190 mil shock that front shock i’ve used over 180 ml of that and i’ve got it set the right pressure everything’s set to the right rebound everything’s perfect but it’s just it’s pretty smooth actually so yeah i just spot on that’s big c big man what a view oh good i’ve never been anywhere walking when i’ve been out of breath holy [ __ ] man yeah you breathe our switzerland over to the left france to the right whoa daddy oh you flicked a rock up at me but on this side there’s switzerland over there see they go there i’ll go down the stream not anymore that’s too naughty down there come down the stream then down the side ah we’re into switzerland now i’m not going down there ah that lunatic is peddling up the hill so that must be superman christ nutter anyway let’s catch up the guys it’s amazing [Applause] he’s got a low ratio he’s all right the most exciting route back down but it’s uh still beautiful beautiful i’ve got squeakers going on my brakes all right boys go on dude you go stunning like beautiful ah a little cafe so clear that is look that’s ice water melted [Applause] so thin the air i’m pretty fit but peddling up here i can’t breathe i can help i can’t get any air in your lungs i’m just talking oh there’s an e-bike when you when you need one big man i’m praying over this hill it’s downhill i’m praying we can see this from up there we stood up there and looked at this didn’t we and we kind of knew it was uphill no we haven’t got far until we even got that mile we’re up there that’s the giveaway the swiss flag over there i think that’s the border point for it yeah i think you’re right we’ve been at switzerland anyway we can say that here you get a fridge magnet in the way it’s got a sticker oh god about to walk up there that was not good it was hard walking the bike but i’m riding it now we’ve got now we’re on down here we’re all right easy easy gone boys oh where’s the run go whoa whoa dude you’re met with your mech whoa there’s a rock slab i

side that was a problem you had no idea what was over there it actually looks alright doesn’t it but at the same time no this isn’t not enough down here so ah yes bloody breaks are squirting whoa rock garden central brilliant run oh see it says black but the red’s hard enough no blacks thanks yes i’m a jimmy i’ll keep them out in case someone comes gone you’re right my brakes are shakes are not heating up enough stay to the right look we’re moving fast right it’s okay down there that oh [ __ ] yeah that head off i’ve on that rock slab there look funny enough the black’s more inviting there

the van we’re leaving tomorrow about half past eight in the morning something like that uh so yeah we get cleaned up in the right state so uh what what amazing holiday with the guys my riding’s improved you know i’ve just i’ve learned berms yeah even though all that all the wet roots in there it’s been awesome anyway we’ll catch you in a minute we get back to the chalet biggs man we survived the holiday tell me about it i don’t know where the guys are probably in the big town or asleep or something but that was a we had such a great time and no one honestly really had a crash i can say it now because we’re we’re finished not cursing anyone we’ve made it around in one piece in one piece on the bikes so just taking bikes apart well bars off wheels off uh to whack in the uh in the van look at our boxes there so we’ll put our two bikes in the boxes now the guys will load theirs up when they get back but i never cleaned my bike the whole time the whole time we’re here i never cleaned my bike so it’s had some uh set some muck off on it gonna give it a little rinse for now and just look like that let the block off soak in because it’s so dirty i haven’t checked it for any dings and scratches but as i said none of us really had a problem with the bar apart from the brakes uh on some of the bikes everything was was for our rob’s jockey wheels on his bike your bike was fine man won’t it your brakes were apart from the brake forget the brakes we realized shroud brakes are sram ceramic or [ __ ] not mine though to be fair i’ve got sram guide res and they were fine i changed the pads which made them stronger but also made them noisier and that does annoy me when your brakes are squeaking down the trail so uh yeah trying to clean up save doing it at home the other guys bikes are they all in there yeah yeah santa cruz santa cruz transition the old capra is there capra is a bit damaged because the back break broke but yeah it’s holding a brilliant trip i’ll try and
