Ride with the Swedes video series is back for its second season. This time Swedish MTB all-rounder Martin Söderström teamed up with his fellow countryman & Slopestyle superstar Emil Johansson. The Scandinavian MTB dream team are on a quest to hit & ride the best of what their home country and the world have to offer, having as much fun as they possibly can on the way.

After some rainy days and muddy laps, the two head for some airtime and finish off the trip with big jumps at the Reboul Jam course at the bottom of the Park!
