nice

You're welcome, thanks

It can get busy, i'm not going to lie. My advise would be to get out there first thing and last thing for the emptiest trails. Try and time your riding so you are out on the trails whilst others are at lunch. This will really help you get a few extra laps in without big queues! Have a great trip!

slow pedal in, once you're over the first double do not touch your brakes!

@@MtbTrailHub and no pedalling after the double as well?

I know, It was heart braking......couldn't believe what was happening when the front started to wash!

Thanks mate, what could have been.....next time were going for a top 10 in quali!

Cheers John, I went too hard trying to pedal past the guy on the flat and my legs blew up. Also felt pretty beaten from the OTB in the snow! haha No excuses next time! haha

You know it!! what a ride!

it barely takes up any of the shot lmao, what are you even complaining about? maybe focus on the other 90% of the screen, Karen

haha, nothing at all happening beyond the helmet......

Haha brilliant!

I know right! haha made me laugh watching it back

Haha, Cheers tomek! I had Zero energy but I could still muster a few words to ask which side! haha

Thanks, yeah it was a great week! hope you had a good time too!

@@MtbTrailHubmanaged to break my foot in my quali run, but still quailed for the front end of challenger…could have been better, but could have been much worse. I’m happy😂

Cant say that till youve done it mate. So difficult but incredibly fun

All the way to the bottom. And then when you've crossed the tape......it's the best thing you've ever done and you wanna go again.

It does feel a little like that on the morning of the race, after the race it becomes the best thing you could do on a bike.........If you finish! haha

It's a love hate thing......that beer at the bottom never tasted soo good!

@@MtbTrailHub yeah managed to finish but had to do it chainkess after derailleur snapped on the snow

Cheers Dazza!

It certainly is!

I would have ridden it if I could......

Well said, ebike is the way!

If Chili Con Carne is Red, I'd hate to see what a black flow trail at Super M would be like... Oh wait there is one, Hattock and its jumps are blue-ish vs this trail. Oh well, a laissez-fair attitude to everything is what makes France special.

haha

Yes couldn't agree more, that's why we love France! It's a great trail none the less with some good progression. Hopefully it doesn't get over run by people rolling the features top to bottom and killing the speed for people sending the jumps.

First and more important is to know you and to know your skills on the bike. Super Morzine is good to get the flow started, then go to Serraseux or Chatel... All the Green/Blue trails are pretty nice to get the hang of the bike and the riding experience that you need to tackle the red/black lines. I'll be there in a couple of weeks for the 3 consecutive year, it's now like a pilgramage to all my bike buddies to go there every summer. And on top of hit, have fun riding your bike.

Well said

If you've done dyfi then you should be pretty prepared for anything the PDS throughs at you. Check out this video which is a big ride out only using the greens and blues......kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGq6dKuYZ8x_ppIsi=t15UHx9IPy01E40c

Thanks for tuning in! The one piece of key information regarding coming back from this route is to make sure you get to the top of the Mossette suisse lift. From the top of there you are still a long way from home but it's possible to ride back without using lifts. It's not a complicated route but until you've done it it will be confusing. The easiest way to explain it would be to exit the Mossette suisse lift and follow the red PDS signs back to Lindarets. For directions - Come off of the lift and join the fire road as it bears to the left. Follow it down the hill and take the next left rather than carrying on towards the Suisse national trail. Follow the red signs from here and peel left again on the XC trail. Once you drop back towards Lindarets just stay on the undulating traverse and it will take you back to Lindarets valley floor. Be sure to do a few laps of the Crossettes chairlift as there is an amazing red run underneath which brings you back directly to the bottom of the chairlift. I'd advise not to go head to this area if storms are predicted as they can close the lifts. Rain is ok, thunder and lightning..... very frightning! haha

@@MtbTrailHub Thanks for the reply!

Theres plenty of Blues up in Super Morzine.....and mellow reds

or you could just get better at mounatin biking haha

It was open today! You’re in luck!

@MtbTrailHub That's what we like to hear, cheers mate 🤟

@@park_rat_matt Enjoy!!

Nice! The swiss national trail is not part of the PDS loop however you will ride very close to the entrance to it. If you were really keen and making good time you could drop in for a quick lap and then rejoin the loop. It's possible..... just depends if you are making good time. Enjoy!

Yeah it does look nice! It’ll still be there next year! Be sure to check out Meribel and surrounding resorts if you’re out that way !

Opened today ! Enjoy my good man! 👊🏼🤟🏼

Thanks mate for the offer, I won’t be in the PDS then I’m afraid. Defo shoot me a message though if you’re around the south of the U.K. sometime or join us for a trail hub group ride later this year. Details on my website 🤟🏼👍 Have a great trip! Go easy on the Chanada trail in Chatel! 😅😜

Enjoy! It looks so good!

Hey Nick, unfortunately not as I’m back in the U.K now….. the new mid section does look pretty good! Trail was shut when I rode past it.

Have they been building on the the pleney black?

​@@stevefox6753yes, a section of pleney black after the tunnel got forested, so they built in a jump line there now instead

@@stevefox6753yeah looks like they had to fell a section of trees and rebuild part of the trail. Some nice senders have been added as far as I’m aware.

Red trail 🥲

Yes definitely, some of the tables look pretty full on….. surprised this trail isn’t a black tbh. Mega sends to be had!

@@MtbTrailHub That is a UK black trail, no question lol

Would be graded pro line in the UK just because of the road gap 😂

@@AGMTB. Yeah 💯, I recon the idea from the get go was to build a red jump line and then the lads got carried away with the diggers and built some big shit! 😂😂

Great stuff, It's changed a bit since you will have last visited but still has the same classic charm! Have a great time!

I meant......the trail is down to the bedrock so can't get anymore chewed up. If you want rough then nothing beats the Chavannes Red!

Hey Si, Cheers, Thanks for tuning in! What ever you're more comfortable on really, but let's be honest if you've got a DH bike and you're not taking it to the Alps then you may as well sell it! haha Both bikes are more than capable, DH bike will be easier on tired limbs but more of a slog on the pedal sections......

Hi Richard, Unfortunately not, the PDS add on segments in this video are now claimed by walkers trails, there are now also no bikes allowed signs up top. There is a great back country descent down into Samoens from the top of Les Gets, I'd look into getting a guide and trying that for the day. We went with MCF in Les Gets and they were brilliant. Have a great trip!

It sure is!! this years trip can't come soon enough!

You're most welcome! There's some nice flow trails there with great progression for when your ready to step it up! Thanks for watching!

Sorry for the late reply.......I don't have the GPX I'm afraid, If you message Andy from Ride Southern Spain he may be able to do you some uplifts. He is the man to chat with!

@@MtbTrailHub can you give me his Instagram @ or some other contact please

@@MtbTrailHub do you have any contact of Andy? How can I reach him?

It is prime! looking forward to getting back there soon!

I just want to ride bikes! haha Genuinely though, thanks for this breakdown

Thanks, glad you enjoyed them! By end of June all/most of the sites should be open. They can be pretty hot on people wild camping in car parks etc. They don't like people pitching tents but if you can stay in the back of the van then you stand more of a chance of not being moved on. As a last resort If the campsites are still closed, Your best bet would be the Ardent cable car car park or Linderets car park. You may get away with evening arrival and early morning tear down but don't quote me on that. p.s Les Gets (La Frene) campsite is the best in the PDS!

Hi Jack, That sounds very expensive. You could easily do it for under half that. Shoot me over an email with your details and i'd be happy to steer you to a cheaper option. [email protected]

@@MtbTrailHub legend! Thank you so much will do
