cheers Chase.

just been looking at the pictures on Steve's face book of the chatel region and wish the ski lifts had been open so we could have done the big north shore drops.

favorite track had to be the world champs dh course, made stupidly slippy by all the rain they'd had that week :)

there other guests in the chalet said we were mad to try it in the wet, when they found out we were riding summer tyres and clipped in they reckoned we'd die :)

turned out to be some of the most entertaining riding ever, it was so slippy and steep that slowing down or riding in a striaght line was not an option.

anyway racing tomorrow in wales at rd3 cearsws cup and rain is predicted so hopefully a week of alps wet riding will turn out to have been good training.

nice one richy, you all did really well to ride there in the wet, especially taking the red gap. If its any concellation neither steve or chillpot had the spuds to hit that gap, even though it was actually really smooth.

did you do the les gets bike park black, there was some really big stuff there, felt like i'd never land off the big step down.

hope we can all go together next yr, is would be a real laugh.

I think by "spuds" you mean "forks" Rob - the day you sessioned the Chavanne I was trying to get my Floats fixed, we didn't go back there all week :?

Yep good on ya Richie for nailing the gap jump, I must admit that I didn't miss not doing it but also after having 2 large high speed off's in the first few hours of riding, :roll: the confidence really wasn't braying the door down!! :shock:

Now fast trails with loose shale and no grip..................................... :twisted:

But credit where credits due buddy! :wink:

Ditto with going together for next year but this time do listen to the grand master when i suggest going on or after the Passporte weekend as it is a festival celebrating the opening of all the lifts in the area!!! :wink:

Beginners error but I'll let you off fella!! 8)

It wasn't hours before you piled it Chilly it was about 35 minutes :(

But in typical "our kid" fashion it affected you for about 10 minutes after some precision wheel alignment :lol:

I wanna go back :twisted:
