    Me 2 days ago: " I wonder where Linnea and Simon have been?"
    Linnea is looking so good. All that practice has paid off and this is the prize. I wish I could move like that on a bike!

    There is nothing in this world like following a beautiful lady, down a beautiful double black trail, on a beautiful mountain in the Alps. Life doesn't get any better than that. Thanks for sharing.

      Yeah, Linnea is pinning these trails blind while I follow her - with only a basic explanation of what the trail has. Amazing improvement in her riding. She's faster now on blind black and double black diamond trails than she was on familiar blue trails a year ago! Rad. -Simon

    Today Ive witnessed the black line to Vallorcine, and dang that thing is steep. Props to you both for having the skills to ride that thing. Linnea has come a long way!
    I skipped that nasty steep left turn, just like someone in front of me. The 2 girls behind me had more skills (and balls, idk) and they rode it. One did amazing, the other one took a very nasty fall.
    Still, what an amazing place. That trail that passes just in to Switzerland was very nice too!

    • @Fluidride

      There are a number of moderate offerings in Pila Bike Park. This tour is one of our more technical tours. If you want more information, drop Linnea an email at linnea@fluidride.com. We also have a less technical tour offering in Baja Mexico during winter. We'll hope to ride with you in the future! -Simon

    Amazing footage / scenery but the top-of-helmet mount Go Pro footage exaggerates the movement and makes my eyes work too hard to keep up with the POV and I start to get motion sick. Shame. I'll have to go there in person and try it IRL for the proper first person view.
