B-RAGE Session 22! ‪@GTBicycles1‬ invited me to Norway to ride ‪@BrageVestavik‬ 's amazing jump line at Trysil Bike Arena - which on any other day is open to the public for anyone to ride. How cool is that? Would you try it?!
As you can hear in the video, I was a quite intimidated by the line before I rode it. I've tried to show the real process from walking the line, my GT team mate Eliott La Potre helping me through it, and finally the session in front of the crowds.
It's not the biggest line I've hit but it did look technical with not much room to stop or exit if things went wrong. Normally I would just get on with it and hit the line straight away, but it kept raining on Friday so the conditions weren't ideal.
On Saturday, the sun came out and with the encouragement from Eliott, I dropped straight in. I quickly realised there was nothing to stress about as this line was built so well, so I wasn't going to need to stop anyway! The line was line a big bike trails line, with hips, shark fins, twists and turns - a line built for flow and style rather than tricks - right up my street. It was so much fun riding the line and doing trains with the likes of Eliott, Brage, David Lieb and Nico Vink and co.
Thanks to GT Bicycles, Trysil, Eliott, David and everyone else I rode with and chatted to for making it a great experience. Hope I get to go back!
