Why Are the FRENCH SO GOOD at MTB? | FAST LIFE S5E4

[@AlexRiding6]

Since Vouilloz/Gracia time, kids in France are building jumps, tracks everywhere possible. Spent countless teenagers' hours riding with friends and having fun whatever the weather. I think that riding culture from a young age explains partially Frenchie success.

[@markm4503]

Love this series! Always wanting more!

1 reason... The sport is part of the culture.. =alot of people doing it in a country with a lot of opportunities.

Right, it's the power of the baguette and the stinky cheese. Long live France!😁

Stinky cheese for life.

The stinkier the cheese the faster the bike goes..

[@2gouv]

It's because we have a huge playground (many mountains) and a massive bike federation

[@asquare9316]

we have that here in the US (the mountains, not the massive federation) but I think many great US riders prefer to do freeriding.

I’m from the south of France and me and my mates build as many jumps and ride as much a we can but the government is not exactly behind us, jumps have been destroyed quite a few time. Otherwise riding is sick down here !

[@thewirah1]

I am glad I left my home country. France is always trying to hold you back when it doesn't bring you down.

[@bigchainring1977]

Well I am very impressed and proud of you if the government is actually trying to the riding culture.. they apparently are not doing a very good job..

BMX is massively popular in France. These riders (male and female) have shredding since they were kids. Skillz to pay the billz !

[@desmondgarcia8630]

Local riders that have access to so many trails and bike parks no wonder they are dominating. My local favorite Aaron Gwinn southern California the chain less champ 🏆

[@323johnnybravo]

Mountain biking in the US has been a rich kid / dentist sport. If our top athletes got into cycling the French would have a run for their money.

Even in bmx racing there was 3 frenchies in the olympic final

[@branbucsmodelcars]

[@elvingtonred]

Having the Alps?

[@Andy_ATB]

Their federation takes it seriously - and treats it as important as road/track. Not all countries do.....

[@JeffVlimant]

That's where you're wrong ! There's not that much real trail in France, most of them are totally illegal... So we just find some forests and build jumps, and trail to go down, to go high as much as we can. I built nearly 4 different trails, and the authorities were never behind my friends and me... But we do it regardless, because if we don't, no one's gonna do it for us

[@francoisjoly7696]

The federation is mainly supporting and broadcasting road biking, not MTB, and this is REALLY irritating. The french federation support for MTB is a unicorn.

[@Boxbeat666]

Its simple they have the best year round weather money and bike parks.

No one knows and it doesn't matter.. actually the French win so often because their training runs are 2 to 3 to 4 times as difficult as the world championship runs.. and all the other countries should do that as well if they want to be faster and win more..
