I'm not against the occasional use of these 'inaccesible' trails, I regularly ride similar stuff and yes there are ways to get to them using lifts... But you should do this kind of thing off your own back, or hear about it by word of mouth. Posting an article on an international website on how to access this kind of stuff, especially in a way that is deceiving the people that are there for yours and others safety is really irresponsible. The pictures are amazing and should be seen but the accompanying article giving the trails location and how to access it should not have been published. This is a problem with the ease of communication these days, hidden gems and mythical routes spread like wildfire over the internet. There will now be so many underprepared, unaware and unskilled idiots trying to jump that train this summer that it will no doubt affect mountain biking overall in the Chamonix valley, an area which has been reluctant to say the least about welcoming us to their trails.

The guys in the Trek kit were Rob and Jon Parkin of Dirt TV fame, they work for Trek! Don't be so judgemental....they were there as I was for the same reasons as you to get out our bikes and have fun....

The footage is a few bits from different runs stuck together, the last bit when I'm following James was the first run down the track and I rolled a couple of the jumps...! No real reason for missing them was just cruising... I've got some more footage from La Clusaz that I might stick together into another vid. The bike is a Solid Mission 9, James is on a K9 Industries DH001.
