Popped into Verbier 🇨🇭 to check out the race track ahead of next month’s iXS European Downhill Cup.
A few laps of the track and we were seriously impressed — some amazing features, technical sections and plenty of speed. Wicked track! 🔥
The Verbier Bike Park is so good we decided to stay for an extra day and get some more laps in.
The trails are absolutely prime right now, and the uplifts are fast and seriously effective. The Verbier Tourist Card is also a massive bonus, giving access to valley-floor uplifts, free swimming, buses PLUS 50% off bike park tickets. 🤘
Now packed up and heading for the World Cup at Les Gets…
Time to get LOUD! 🔊🔥

Leogang ▶️ Bike Park
A brilliant few days in Leogang working with the riders from at their training camp. These young rippers put in some serious work, building speed, confidence and race craft on some of the toughest tracks in Europe.
It was incredible to watch their progression throughout the camp, taking on sections of the iconic Leogang World Cup downhill track with more commitment every run.
even dropped in a few times… survived, found hundreds of different lines, and somehow made it to the bottom!
We also managed to sample the trails used in the recent EDR. Hangman 1 into Hangover is absolutely next level. I still have no idea how the pros raced those stages in the wet.

Huge thanks to all of the amazing sponsors for making opportunities like this possible. 👊
