A three-man trip to the south of France, Barcelona,...
Pics + italics: Drooze
Although we were able to ride in short sleeved shirts, the nights were pretty cold. The second morning we even got up whit snow on our tents! And if it wasn’t the cold that kept us awake, it was an owl that was making just too much noise! We eventually stayed there for three days; it was great riding, chill locals, some guys from Switzerland, guys from Marseille, and guys from elsewhere in France...
I also noticed quite al lot bmx racers riding the trails, something we don’t see that often at our own trails. One thing I learned about those guys is that if they are following each other through the jumps they are taking it a little bit to serious, at a certain point the first guy bails to the left side of a jump, and the second went just strait after him. When he was at his highest point, around 2 - 3 meters above the ground, he noticed that there was no landing in sight, so he drops his bike centimeters behind the head of the first guy. I heard his explanation later, “I thought it was a transfer to the left”. Everybody had a good laugh about it, no problem.
Snow? In the south of France? Oh come on!
Forgot to take a bowl with him. But a little creativity goes a long way...
Rider from marseille. Hadn't ridden his bike in quite some time, not that I could tell...
Also quite a lot of fourcrossers... These guys were from Switserland. They spoke German, of so they said. I can speak a little German, but I couldn't understand a single word they said.
Fabio on the transfer line.
Dimitris on the transfer line.
Fourcrosser tweaks one out on the speedjumps. You could park a Hummer between those jumps.
Dimitris with a tabletop on the last jump of the hip line.
Marseilledude with a transfer from the hipline to the big line.
Same, but from another angle.
Part 5 will be online in 2 days. So check back soon!
