The 2015 season was undoubtedly the breakthrough year for Frenchman Loïc Bruni on the downhill circuit. After three years riding as a senior, ‘Brownie’ fulfilled his indubitable talent by coming away as the World Champion on an incredible day in Vallnord in September.
Add four second-placed finishes over the course of the World Cup season and a second-place overall on the World Cup than that’s a pretty good return.
We sent our man Rob Warner down to Loïc’s hometown of Cagnes-Sur-Mer in the south of France to hear about the World Champion’s hopes for the 2016 World Cup and reflect on that win in Vallnord.
Combine Josh Bryceland, Phil Atwill, Brendan Fairclough and a bunch of other riders. Add in some wintery British slopes and you’ve got yourself a slice of lunacy, a slice of ‘what the hell just happened’, and A Slice of British Pie.
This 25 minute long nutter fest, brought to you Dirt, celebrates good times on bikes with some of the world’s biggest and most loved mountain bikers. None of that slo-mo, none of that dubstep and nobody is putting their goggles on in this film. Brought to you from the genius mind of Tom Caldwell, prepare to experience an old school insight into the epitome of winter riding in our muddy little corner of the world.
The film unravels as a roadtrip – from Fort William to Surrey, and from Wales to County Durham. We’ve focussed on the loosest riders – the guys you think of when loss of traction is on the mind.
