Riding The STEEPEST & Most Exposed Mountain Trails

Wow. Insane. I think my favourite word at the minute is insane. So this one's called Whey. You are wild, Jase. I can smell brakes. These guys only have one speed. Fast. Jase is leaving us for dust. There's some super cool feats on this trail. Keeps changing. Keeps you on your toes. Cave bike run first. Oh my God. Wet wood. If you aren't riding Verbier Bike Park today, you're missing out. This is incredible. Best corners I've ever ridden. All my days. If you want to come and improve your cornering skills, just come to Verbier. No idea what to expect. But I think it drops off quite severely down here. I think we did agree to go chill, but we're already going quite fast. What is he doing? Having to hop the back wheel around quite a lot. Oh, this is steep. You want to let off, but then that would be a silly idea. Steep rock. Oh my God. Oh my God. Insane. Best trail ever. Steep. Brakes don't work. That is tight. When's it going to end? Okay, we're going up again. Right at the top, I think. If your frame is too short, you can take it off and put one hanger on the back of the seat. Like that. You can sit with your friend. Stressful lifts. We are in for a treat. So, we're in Verbier. Another new place in Switzerland. And I can't tell you how insane these mountains are. They're massive. There's jump lines everywhere. There's technical trails. You can even just see a glimpse of them down there. This is the stuff that you see on travel magazines and stuff, basically. Oh my God. There's trails everywhere. Can we not get too excited on the first run? I've seen. This is just a flow trail. I love this bit, man. Just a flow trail. First lap. First lap, full speed. So, I've been told this is a flow trail to warm up on. Oh God. We're like so high above the clouds. Whoa. Just like super fun, floaty jumps. Quite good to warm up on. Yo. Oh, incredible. Incredible stuff. Yo. Oh no. That's floaty. Yeah. Wow. Insane. I think my favourite word at the minute is insane. I must say it about 50 times a day. Come on, mate. I'm going inside. Oh, the dirt's class. It rained real hard last night, but it's not really done anything. It's probably made the dirt even better. Yo. Yes. How sick is this? I've lost count of how many corners we've done. Drop a comment below if you've been counting. Because I've lost count. So good. It's all about being chill, mate. It's not about speed. Whoa. Oh God. It's a bit chunky. I can barely see what's coming up in front of me. Yo. I sent that gap at the end as well. So this one's called Whey. Whey. Yo. He's got some pace on him, Jay says. Probably because he's just too excited. Doesn't want to get left behind. That's the problem around with a big group of guys who love bikes. Once one person goes fast, everyone tends to want to go Mach 10. Yo. Or greasy in the woods. Yo. Whoa. You are wild, Jay. Yo. I'm still trying to get used to the terrain. Whoa. Oh, that's slippy. My brakes aren't working too well. Terrain's a lot different in here. And, like, damp. You think I'm full of energy? Whoa. I can smell brakes. Yo. Nice. Whoa, back into dust. How weird. Oh. Fuck. Ha ha. I nearly blew off the track. Oh. Different again now. That's tough. There was a few turns I nearly blew the back off because I couldn't hook into them. Any of you get arm pump or hand cramp? Just hands feel bruised. It's just I can't slow down in the corner. Yeah, the same, eh? Yeah, yeah. Whoa. That came at you fast. Whoa. Great exit speed. Wow, wood. Oh, my days. Whoa. I thought you were going down then. Ha ha. These guys only have one speed. Fast. Jason's leaving us for dust. Whoa. There's some super cool feats on this trail. Keeps changing. Keeps you on your toes. Never the same. Whoa. Oh, we've got a caution sign. Steep, slippy rocks. Whoa. That was intense. Yeah. Kept changing, innit? Like it wasn't, you're always on your toes. You nearly went down on one bit. Christ. Thought you were going to make a big swap on and crash. Bit more than a Tokyo Drift. Okay, black run, first. Oh, my God. Wet wood. Whoa. Oh, what's this trail called? Whoa. Ha ha ha. Oh, this is the one with the gnarly drops, innit? Yeah, I saw a few drops there. I haven't been scared of this last time I came. That looks cool. You go over that rock or around it? Around the back of it, and then there's another little drop afterwards. I'll follow you, Dave. I'll follow you, Charles. All right, we're doing whoa, which is a black one. Oh, God. This is quite tech. Oh, what's that? Whoa. Christ. I panicked a bit there. I've been told to take our time down this. Yeah, it's gone from chill to not chill in half a run. I do like technical riding, but maybe first run would have been nice to do. Something a little bit tamer, but we'll just crack on with it. Whoa. You just have to keep the wheels moving, braking consistent, get a good line. Whoa, dropped onto rock. It's still super damp in here. It's a really good trail. Savage. Oh, you can gap that rock. Rock roll. That was a bit slippy. Oh, we've got some... Whoa. You can just about see what's in front. Whoa. That's my sort of trail. I love that. So good. That was a sick first run. I think it's probably my longest manual. I spoke too soon. The view is so good. Pedaled over there, and we're now going through a tunnel on the Venture. We're in the clouds now. The drop down there is savage. Then we go down. I don't want 180 turns, I'll be honest. What about a 180 flat French corner into a massive double? Oh, my God. He literally rode into a hole. What is he doing? Don't touch the brakes. Ah, jumps. Oh, going down. If you aren't riding Verbier Bike Park today, you're missing out. Just saying. This is incredible. Best corners I've ever ridden. Oh, my days. Oh. You can just push and push. Oh. No. No time out. Jesus Christ. Come on. Oh. Oh, my days. Oh. Oh, my. Oh. Swing off it. Yeah. Oh, my God. Massive boulder. Oh, yeah. Yo. Sick. You jump from corner to corner. Oh, you don't really even need to touch the brakes. If you want to improve your cornering skills, just come to Verbier. Oh, man. Yo. This probably doesn't get rid of this trail as much because it's not really in the main bike park area. It's actually quite smooth. Yeah, that was so rad. Yeah, that's cool. That's cool. You literally come to places like this and you question, why would anyone ever go to Morzine? Literally, so many more places with so much untapped potential. This is one of them. Is he not there? Oh, it's there, isn't it? Well, Flynn. Get to the road. Oh, this is where we were before. Got it. Oh, God. Especially when you're going fast. Yeah. Why can't they have a trail like that for a mile long? They need a trail like that, like a mile long. Like pump, pump, jump, just for a mile. Bit of a jump line going on now. Very good. I would love to do that wall ride. Yeah, I think we should have another go after. Tyres fire. Your tyres will be on fire. It's quite a big step down towards the end, but we'll stop just before it, Jase. I think I know what you mean. If you feel like sending it, Jase, do it. We'll stop before that. It's just, you need to be aware it's a step down. Yeah, yeah, yeah. First runs of those seas. Yeah. Oh, where are we going here? I think this might be a bit of the IXS track. Or a downhill track. Whoa. How chunky is that? I actually started losing my focus a bit then. Back on the blue now. Yo, what a feature. Whoa. She's rough. Oh, God. Bad line choice there. Go on, JR. Tired? This is quite cool. Okay, we're back in the mountains and we're going on a bit of an adventure now. Got recommended to ride a trail from a friend, Ludo May. And it's supposed to be pretty epic. Bit outside the bike park. Bit into unknown territory, but I think it's going to be worth it. Okay. So this is the trail to get to the trail. Bit more alpine, single track. Bit different to the bike park. Whoa. Got to be quite accurate where you put your wheels. Transition. Single track. Views. No idea what to expect. But I think it drops off quite severely down here. I think we did agree to go chill, but we're already going quite fast. The views are insane, I don't know if you can see them. Dropping the like if you're digging the scenery and the riding. Yo. Okay. A little bit steeper now. Quite exposed. Only dropped the front wheel off then. Right, let's have it. It's going to get steep now. What is he doing? Don't come this way. Let's have it. Whoa. Easy to overcook them. Yeah. Whoa. Steady on, lad. Yo. Having to hop the back wheel around quite a lot. Slippery roots. Whoa. Yo. Dream come true now, mate. This is the dream. Oh, this is steep. It's steep, and you don't want to go too close to the person in front. Not the best line choice for that for me. There is a huge drop on the other side of there. Oh, what. Whoa. That was tight. Yo. That was sick. Ha ha ha. Yes, Jase. Big endo. You want to let off, but then that would be a silly idea. I don't know if you can tell how steep it is on camera. Maybe you can hear my brakes. It's one of the steeper trails I've ridden. Oh, the exposure. Oh, another stoppy turn coming up. Oh, nice. Not so nice. Ha ha ha. That's the way I can't really endo very well. Whoa, nearly dropped my front off. Oh, wow. Steep rock. Look at that chute. Yeah, Jase. I'm probably just saying the same words over and over again. Oh, my God. Insane. Best trail ever. Steep. Brakes don't work. Oh, God. Oh, wow. That is tight. Oh, my God. I ended up going double fingers. My brakes, honestly. I fell on them too big. When's it going to end? Oh, my. Look at that for exposure. Nice. Quite rocky, this bit. Whoa. Picked up some speed then. Whoa. Oh, this is rough. Argh. I hurt my hands. Ow. My hands. Ow. Oh, the claw. That was chunder. How far we've come down. Mental. Right down the face of that.
