RIDING THE LONGEST FLOW TRAIL IN SWITZERLAND!!! (OVER 140 BERMS)

[@dasanoneia4730]

"Wow that trail is what dreams are made of" in my Sam Pilgrim voice

“Berm it!”

[@kaltonian]

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

[@LewisBuchanan]

Wow! Haha

[@doonhilla]

Even though i suck at cornering that still looks a blast. Good luck for the first round!

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks!

[@jonathanangieri153]

Good luck this weekend! I’m rooting for ya! Can’t wait to see the race vlogs

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks

[@dkipu266]

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!

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks!

[@dudeonbike800]

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!” 😂😂

[@muzza191282]

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!

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks

That looks like one hell of a warmup trail! Also a fantastic trail to learn how to properly corner.

[@LewisBuchanan]

Hell yeah

[@jasonlewis6914]

Honesty I think flow trails are the best. Because they are so much fun. Even better on a hardtail 👊

[@LewisBuchanan]

Hell yeah

[@rolux4853]

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.

[@jasonlewis6914]

@@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 👊

[@triciamcintyre4947]

Would be excellent on my hardtail (from Halfords)🚴👍

[@jasonlewis6914]

@@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.

Get up for the jumps, but most of the time it’s sit down and relax. Can be fun to!

[@ChefIan73]

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 😐

[@LewisBuchanan]

Nice!!!

[@dudeonbike800]

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???

[@VictorSantos2k]

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.
