Tried out the Stab Supreme (Matt's nemesis) and Chipp's Blood today – love the blood, but the stab is a bit of a tank!!

Luke from Snowcan and Action Cameras had a helmet cam on Brendan Fairclough for the Megavalanche. Check out his footage, he got some pretty cool videos.

As opart of their recent trip with flowmtb Fionn Griffiths and Joanna Peterson ran a dirtgirls special skills day. The highlight was definitely us all learning to jump and everyone making it up and off the ramp with no tumbles.
Photographer Tom Humpage was along to take some pics:
First up, flowmtb cook and top bike rider Jess:

Photos uploaded from the dirtgirls day in Morzine and Les Gets with Fionn and Jo showing us how to ride like pros! We all did brilliantly and everyone had a great day.
Here’s a few pics from the ride and the cornering session.




Thanks to Tom Humpage for the photos. More examples of his great work here
Highlights include the blury bar shot where were roped into a VERY odd thumb waving sing along. Proof that I took the prince albert up to the Glacier for a practice run of the Mega Course on a hard tail (arm pump anyone?). Then the final setup for my Mega race bike – the Nomad plus joplin uppy downy seatpin, larson TT rear tyre for speed if not grip. And Sara rocking the dh youth look on the final day – tee shirt, full face, no bag etc – perhaps a little un-practical!
And then there's the hotel that thinks it's christmas all year long!
Until next year….
There's nothing like the crepes at the Attray Crepery to finish a good day in the saddle! And the Cider there is great – makes for an interesting final descent back to Morzine!
