RIDING THE LONGEST FLOW TRAIL IN SWITZERLAND!!! (OVER 140 BERMS)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- This was so much fun!!! It is one day before practice begins here in Zermatt. I managed to get out to shakedown the bike and see how I felt. What better way to ease in to it than dropping in on a 6km flow trail. Lots of berms, little jumps and just a really nice warm up before the racing starts this weekend.
"Wow that trail is what dreams are made of" in my Sam Pilgrim voice
Haha 🤙🏽
the ultimate bermage of doom he'd say
@Zac Bmx he is the e-king
“Berm it!”
@@WiltshireSportingShooter berm iiiitttttt !!!
Yeah i have rode it and it's awesome, i done 3 runs one on a road bike & one on my hardtail and then when fully memorised the course the final run on my full suspension and each run was packed with such happiness that i will always remember it.
It's a great trail
Wow! Haha
Even though i suck at cornering that still looks a blast. Good luck for the first round!
Thanks!
So fast...I am so accustomed to trails that have random large rocks, roots and quick turns with rocks in the path and tight trees on each side of a narrowing trail that this speed leaves me on edge. Nice video!
Thanks!
And that would be why this trail is called a “flow trail.” (Albeit pretty lame.)
You ride chunk & tech stuff, we get it. But no one’s throwing boulders in the exits of flow trail berms in some attempt to make them technical. If it’s not challenging, you’re going too slow!
“Weird how this pump track has no observed trials sections!” 😂😂
Good luck this weekend! I’m rooting for ya! Can’t wait to see the race vlogs
Thanks
Honesty I think flow trails are the best. Because they are so much fun. Even better on a hardtail 👊
Hell yeah
That’s what every guy with a hardtail as his only bike says 😂
BUT: you’re absolutely right, I’d rather go this track down on my hardtail!
Seems like it would get pretty boring after a while on my enduro.
Especially since I switched to a coil shock, which absorbs the energy in those berms even more.
@@rolux4853 haha. I just sold my full suspension. It was pretty much brand new. Just wasn't riding it. So just have my hardtail. Be I can do almost everything with it. I run xtr it's so so fast 👊
Would be excellent on my hardtail (from Halfords)🚴👍
@@rolux4853 haha. I just sold my full suspension. I just wanted to keep my hardtail because it's faster and more efficient. and climbing ability is on a different level then full suspension.
Big thanx for acknowledging the ladies.
Positive vibes and huge good luck, one of Scotland’s most committed enduro riders. Recent vid of the Druid on For Bill was epic, can wait to see how those skills stack up on the world stage today!
Thanks
Lewis Buchanan 6th Brit 42nd overall, cracking result, looking forward to rest of season! hope there’s some footage incoming from today....!
Sick track
Your free hub sounds amazing bro 😱
I’ve been waiting a long hour for the video and i’m happy i did
Btw i thought about what 140 berms was like and i realised that my longest local has 7 berms 🤣
Haha mad!
@@LewisBuchanan Looking good, have built quite a few berms, but ground I have built on is flat so
Not same flow, so have just added a trampoline!
What's a berm?
@@fakecisawesome Banked corner, but hipped corners are more fun!
Thanks
Yes Lewis, thanks, great vid mate!
That trail's a work of art!
Anyways, I hope you have a great race day.
You definitely have the skills,
I hope it all comes together for you bro!👊
Just watched the GMBN course preview, and it looks tuff in the dry.
So the rain will make it interesting.
Have a good one, take care !👍
Thanks rob
Good luck Lewis, you’ll do great mate. Bring it home for 🏴
Thanks!
This is my kind of trail, nice and smooth and flowing
🤟🏽
Lewis Buchanan thanks 😊👍
Sometimes it's just good to cruise and chill. Good luck for the weekend 🤘
I agree, thanks!
Fantastic vid what a trail and amazing riding top stuff 👍👍🏴🏴
Thanks!
Super smooth as always and good luck Lewis
Thanks
Have fun good sir! Shred hard for all of us stuck at home!!
Thanks
"give the video a like right now if you'd like to ride this trail" haha jokes on you, I liked the video before it even finished buffering
Hahaha!
Rock "n" Roll, a top 50 finish in Zermatt, huge congratulations 👏 🍻🍻
Terrible result, but thanks! video coming Tuesday from practice!
@@LewisBuchanan don't pull yourself down, prototype bike and your first competitive ride for a long time, stay strong and positive.
This is beautiful, Zermatt is a blast...waiting to see the race vlogs. Enjoy your time there and good luck !
Super nice! Thanks
I would like to say "hell yeah" but I want to stay within the UA-cam community parameters
So, I will safely say "get stoked"!
Awesome flow
I'm going the Switzerland baby!
🙏🏼
That looks genuinely awesome! Great video mate
Cheers
Love this trail--it's a lot funner than it looks on camera
Petzen - just the best flow trail ever ... It changed my thinking about flow trails.
🤟🏽🤟🏽
whats good !!im from glasgow i live and work in zermatt driving the pistenbully in the snowpark,i hit these trails all the time ....never ending man lol.good luck with the race!!
That’s sick! Thanks dude
That looks like one hell of a warmup trail! Also a fantastic trail to learn how to properly corner.
Hell yeah
Good luck mate! Looking forward to seeing how you get on 🤙
Thanks dude
The Forest also looks beautiful!
Super nice
There is not a lot of forest left on this mountain.
Tom Kleins sadly true
No variation, after 20 curves it becomes boring. 😂
Haha bit repetitive but so fun honestly
Huh?
Get up for the jumps, but most of the time it’s sit down and relax.
Can be fun to!
psychonaut038 it was a little monotonous but worth doing once / the rest of Zermatt delivers the goods and is worth going to more than once
@@classenpeter I have never been to a real mountain. So it will all be good for me haha.
That was awesome, good luck with the racing, I'm looking forward to seeing all the coming vids.
Thanks!
Another track added to the bucket list! Looks insane! Good luck for tomorrow man!
Thanks!
Thats so nice when it gets into the trees, that hub is screaming. No pedalling is sweet
Haha yup
Good luck with the race, nice chill track, like a silence before the storm 🤘🏻
Thanks
Really nice and cool trail, must have been quite a lot of work to make it. Such nice views as well. I would have loved to _run_ _up_ that trail. Now that would be a good and tough warm up :D
It looks like a really fun trail..... nice and flowy
He’ll yeah
Dude, this makes for yet another reason to go to Switzerland, epic flow!
🤟🏽
I have rode that trail and it is just dreamy!
Awesome, and good luck.
Thanks
I'm less than 2mins in, so far I'm thinking, this is cool....would love to ride this trail as it looks possible for a novice like myself! Long, flowy, and fun! I have to also say, I wish we had something like this in Scotland.
It’s super fun
Awesome trail. Thanks for the video!
Cheers
Yep, that's a like from me. Great trail. Good luck for the weekend Lewis. 👍🤜
Thanks dude
What a great flow trail. I definitely have to go there and test it out!
Cheers Vincent
Thanks!
Wishing you well on this weekends race!
Cheering for you and the Swedish guys!
Cheers
This videos is the benchmark of over biking. Fox 38 🙈🙈🙈
Good luck on the race, that track looked almost relaxing.
Thanks
Honestly my new fav channel keep posting! 🤘🏻
Thanks!
Holy shit man looks mint 🤙good luck with the comp man
Thanks!
Wow! If you suck at cornering on berms, this will definitely fix that. Living in SE Michigan can be so frustrating. It's so difficult to progress in an area that doesn't even have some of the most basic features. 😥
It’s a hell of a fun trail
@@LewisBuchanan For sure. 👍
Good luck for the race my man but what a boring tiring trail ! Good for a warm up and that's it.
Thanks
Good luck mate full send !! 🤘
Thanks
What hubs are you running cause they are loud and sound goood 🤙🏾🤙🏾
Ethirteen lg1 race
Good luck lad hope ya do well and get a result 🍀🍀😷
Thanks!
Good luck ! Have fun 👍🏻💪🏼
Cheers
Looks like a blast! Got a trail like that here in Northern California. Flow trail in the Soquel Demonstration Forest. It definitely makes you earn your turns though. There’s a 6 mile climb to the start of the trails. Then you get 4+ miles of DH flow through the redwood forest. But there’s a 4 mile climb back to the car waiting for you at the bottom of the DH 😐
Nice!!!
I was gonna mention Soquel Demo, which puts this “flow” to shame. Given the Swiss usual attention to detail & perfection, I’m pretty disappointed.
I didn’t realize just how good we’ve had it until seeing this.
Ridden Talon Show yet???
Top mate i can feel a top 5 coming on sunday good luck stay safe.
🤟🏽🤟🏽
Wow it looks really awesome!
Super fun
What a chill trail men, infinite flow.
🤘🏽
Dude I want that bike so bad. Can't wait to see it get a release.
🤙🏽
I’m here before 100k subs man this video was great
Cheers dude
This was the first flow trail i ever went on. I have since fallen in love with mountain biking.
Good luck for racing this weekend🤘🏼
Thanks
Good luck with the race man 🤙
Thanks
sick as always but can we start having 60fps already?
thanks for telling me this kind of trail exists...
🤟🏽
I'm looking for a budget mountainbike. Any suggestions? Also what camera do you have. The quality is amazing!
Enduro bike? Look on chain reaction cycles.com, they do some decent prices. Also this is a go pro hero 8
@@LewisBuchanan Okay thank you!
Looks like great chilled fun, good luck in practice tomorrow and even more in the race, how much travel does the new bike have now?
Thanks! Just more
First of all: Very nice Video, riding and Trail :D
And i would be very interested in seeing you riding a dirt jump bike whether on dirt jumps or a skatepark ;)
Thanks
Curious question Mr. Lewis, with a mullet setup using the ziggy link. How does the big perform on the uphill, I know 69er/mullet with out a ziggy link has more geo changes and makes it the worse for uphill. I was just wondering if the ziggy link solves this problem with a slight correction in geometry to accommodate a 27.5 rear. I just want to make sure, if I want to add a ziggy link on my purchase.
glorious mate! whats your av speed going down there? ive only ridden road for a few years, this has totally got me wanting a hardtail!
Hmm maybe 30-35kph! That’s good ya are in to riding now
This track looks absolutely amazing. I hope to someday be able to ride that but I'm all the way over in America 🤷♂️
🤙🏽
I had fun on that trail until I crashed on the last leg and fractured my right shoulder. That was the end of my riding in Zermatt. Hopefully I'll be able to get back there and hit it again. Fun fact, my visit to the doctor in town was cheaper than my two day bike pass. Lol!
Relaxing to watch
🤙🏽
Amazing Video! There is a similar trail in Austria as well, it's called the Teäre Line and it's located in Sölden. You should definetly check that one out as well if you enjoyed the Swiss trail :D
Thanks!
Trail looks amazing! What tyres are you running?
Should've waited 30 more seconds into the video to get this answer...
Haha! Assegai front and rear
Sweet!!!!! think that's all i need to say!!
🤟🏽
.. Hello everyone today is gonna be EPIC.
Sick vid
Hell yeah
Haven’t seen the video yet but it’s worth a like 🤙😂
🤟🏽🤟🏽
I've rode a flow trail in Austria called petzen that was 11.5km long, fair to say I was all bermerd out by the end of the day 😂
Good luck, I love the Alps 🤟 just pretend your riding at Yair man 🤣🤣🤞👍
Haha! Thanks
After this your the berms expert 🤣🤣
That looks insane fun to ride! Though did they choose an “easier” trail to reduce injuries etc due to Covid? Or it just happens to be?
Apex thanks for that info. I meant for EWS, what was their reasoning for choosing this track? It’s not very gnarly at all as you’ve mentioned.
Apex oh! That makes sense now!
Did it today !
Nice
All the best this weekend Lewis! Lovely flow trail.
Cheers
I would love to ride that trail looks class
The longest trail I've been down is a small hill
I need to bring my Blue Pig here.
"It is supposed to rain" and right you were..... 😬
Haha spot on
Sunnega in Zermatt. I’ve rode a few times, it’s awesome!
🤟🏽
nice, want to ride that flow 🤘 following you down that would be immense with you on full tilt 😎
Thanks!
Good luck m8 👍👍
Thanks dude
First video of yours I wasn't white knuckling my desk! 🤣️.. How much would you say the prototype weighs with the coil and everything?
Thanks! Hmmm unsure. Similar to the Druid. Like low 30 lbs
To my understanding and experience The Runca Trail on Flims-Laax is about 7,5km long and flowy as f*uck!
That’s a great trail! Are you going to record your race?
Yup I will indeed
Good luck!
Thanks
Nice bro 👍✌
Thanks
@ 9:52 -tsk, tsk, someone left a littler on that lovely hillside. (discarded plastic water bottle)
Ha ha. Very nice. That might be one trail where I’d prefer an Onyx Vesper rear hub (totally silent) compared to my Industry Nine Hydra (swarm of killer bees) hub.
Thanks
My friends Onyx freehub locked up on him last week that's not good
Daniel May: That’s not good 😜. How old was it? Did he ever service it? If so is it possible who ever serviced it last used an incompatible or contaminated lubricant? I’ve never had an Onyx but they have a very good reputation.
@@mrsmartypants_1 about 2 months old never serviced could have been a bad one
Daniel May: Interesting. Thx.
Whaaa need to ride this one while I’m here dude
Get involved Nico dude
Would love to have a lift like that in Australia. We have some good tracks but no chairlifts for riders that I know of.
🤟🏽
INSANE!!!
🤟🏽
I am actually in holidays here in Zermatt and have ridden this trail on Tuesday. But I find the berms to be a bit too tight to smash them full speed.
Also there is a funny little jumpline on the top where this trail starts.
Nice man! Enjoy rest of ya time here
Thanks! And to you good luck at the EWS!
