Great video. Those guys can pin it, but for crying out loud, with that many people riding the same trail, buy a bell or something. Some of those guys they passed looked like young kids.

I need to sit back, grab a pint and relax after watching that .

I liked the part where he had that "adrenaline laughter" after coming in hot in one of the turns.

Looks like a great time. Now all we need is to get a few runs like that in SoCal.

Anybody else find themselves leaning into the corners and ducking under the trees while watching it?

Here is a Google map of Venosc France where the trail is. It is very near Alpe d'Heuz of Tour de France fame. More info here.

Looks like it may be at a ski resort hence the lack of bells?

Watching that video made me tingle. Thanks!

cool vid, but the the trail seemed mostly pointlessly steep with too many switchbacks. Kinda boring if you ask me, i would take any of the stuff i've seen of whistler over this.

Those guys are really fast though. i like when the camera gets whacked by a tree

but still, be a bit more courteous to others on the trail. If someone passed me like that, i woulda chased them down and thrown it right back at them. Not cool to cut people off on exposed switchbacks...
