bigquotesThis course is rocky, it's loose and it's steep. It's not your typical raked out slopestyle... - Nick Simcik



Thanks Nick and Devon! Stay tuned for more from Chatel, France!

 "Only big mountain event THIS YEAR..." No Rampage this year. Actually no one said there will even be another Rampage, have they?

 I like the way he just talked for 2 minutes and didn't show any of the interesting parts of the course.

 The course was pretty muddy yesterday, so we didn't ride it yet. Practice is today, we will be doing another edit from today showing the full course and how it hits. We just wanted to post up a teaser to get people stoked about the event. I got to ride the mountain yesterday a bit. Here is a quick edit of some of the trails. http://www.pinkbike.com/video/204269/

We will have way more riding footage after today right here on Pinkbike

 this will be the gnarliest FMB event this year. last weekend we had a stay in chatel and i can tell you the course is mindblowing, everything is HUGE and way larger than it seems on pictures or in clips. i´m really looking forward to a great contest in my favourite bikepark =)

 This video show why I love Big Mountain events....maybe this is the event most close to "freeride". We need more freeride stuff.
It´s kind sad looking for the FMB tour and just see slopstyle events.

 Sorry all for not including music credit- I normally am sure to add. (Lex by Ratatat) Also, the reason the video was limited on showing the actual course as it is intended to create interest and desire to see more, which hopefully it has done. Be sure to check back for more coverage as today is the first day of practice!!!

 I think the FMB World Tour guys will again make one of those official Contour Course walks.
Whenever they make it, it is pretty cool. Liked Cam McCaul doing it at the 26Trix in Leogang. Sadly the didn't do any at the Claymore Challenge.
So keep looking here or on youtube for the course walks. Normaly the release it after the training day.
