Chasing Kate Courtney and Marine Cabirou in the Italian Alps
Рет қаралды 718,253
9 ай бұрынFilmed a year ago at the SCOTT athlete summit in Aosta, Italy. I was lucky enough to follow to world champions down the mountain. Marine ( / marine_cabirou ) is a downhill rider and Kate ( / kateplusfate ) is a cross-country racer.
The camera doesn't show just how steep it was, most of the ride was around -15% or steeper, definitely something new for me. The arms and hands were worked over!

Mtb is land surfing. The entire attitude has to be about working with the terrain. Road riding is about heart rate, wattage, etc. and overpowering the terrain.

That was exhilarating and scary at the same time. It was so fast that I thought at times the footage was sped up and I needed to slow it down, only then to hear chatter at normal speed. Excellent skills and very impressive handling if mtb around steep sharp corners.

Its awesome. The whole Aosta Valley has trails everywhere and very good variation from black/pro DH bike park tracks to steep and gnarly hiking trails. Nevermind the views. And if you base yourself in Aosta town the telecabine is 5-10 mins from the town center up to the top of Pila and from there you can ride bike park or ride hiking trails. Plus gelato at the end of your ride 😂

I did chuckle as you said about riding a hire bike and getting used to it. Its worse as a Brit in Italy, I got a hire bike by the cable car and took it up Mount Baldo above Lake Garda. Set off down their red run and at the first corner to my shock and horror I realised the Brakes are round the wrong way. Brits have the Back Brake on the Left! It gave me issues all the way down. Apart from that amazing ride. :-)
