Once you were in you were in Grin... vid below.

Chatel and les Lindarets are old favourites. We didn't have that good weather but no rain. TBH we spent the most time over @ les Lindarets as the red and black down there are just superb. We also picked out way through the Black Shore over in Chatel which flows so well and spent a bit of time on La komatrautrail. All good.

Yes Pappa !. Good video, the Chatel Black Shore still looks terrifying, I did the red at Les Lindarets but dodged most of the shore stuff being the wuss I am, going back in few weeks so may have to visit the Chatel runs :)

Babies do seem to equal a missed year of riding dude.. that was me 12 months ago....always next year!

Here are a few pics which weren't in the vids

The reds in Chatel are fairly steep
Image

But Champery is mind blowingly steep...
Image

A pic of me looking like im going fast in a corner (even though im looking in the wrong place).. I had to put this in after I got heckled by Ben Walker and team Scott for going too slow.. GAS GAS GAS means speed up dude!
Image

While driving In the middle of France we were given the ROCK sign by some other DHs, after they spotted our bikes - its now has to be used at every opportunity while biking
Image

As seen here...... We had to drag Northen away from reading BIG Cross Country over lunch.... mmm lycra
Image

Gary might have lost his brake pads on the mountain and not been able to get down the hill... but we decided it was more important to do a photo and to show we ROCK! Miraculously he found his missing pads up the hill.
Image

Game face...
Image

Futete on a sweet rock garden
Image

cockernee on the first drop on the stash run... its so well built you don't notice its there
Image

So thats enough pics vids from this trip... these go pros record frikin everything so may as well share.

Hi Guys. Greetings from Wales. Just came across your site while googling Pila. Great pics and vids.Am just back from 3 weeks riding Les Gets, Chatel, and Pila. Was my first time in Pila but have ridden others loads, was really impressed with the set up at Pila and had a great time out there despite my son being airlifted off mountain to Aosta and having his wrist reset there. Already planning another visit there this year and our crew gonna be heading out there next summer. Happy trails.
