Headcam footage of me snowboarding down one of the longest runs here in Alpe d’Huez. 5500 feet of descent. This is one of my favourite routes, it begins at the ‘Dome des Rousses’ and then starts on the red piste ‘le Belvedère’ before taking a right onto the red run ‘Bartavelles’. This is one of my favourite runs in Alpe d’Huez, it has a great consistent pitch as well as some nice bends which gives it the feel of a boardercross track. Afterwards it joins onto ‘les Rousses’ and then blue run ‘Chalets’. From here it is then onto the black piste ‘La Fare’. This was a bit icy as it hasn’t been getting that much snow lower down this season. I give Andy a 3 minute head start, but can I catch him? – Malcolm Moore
Like most of you, my life this year has been very different in this new crazy world that we are all living in. No events… but luckily, I’ve been able to take some great positives from it – I was able to get a dog – a puppy named Lada. I’ve always wanted one but been worried about the initial time to train one which during lockdown, I’ve had plenty of.
This was my first time being at home in England for most of the summer in 10 years! Its honestly been so fun just riding out the door, going up to London, and just playing on my bike like I was a kid again. Missing racing is tough, but I’ve been very fortunate to get in tons of trail riding! The Trail 429 is my go-to for the small fun hills where I live and I can put some miles in on it around London.
