In February Jey went one month in Chile to ride in summer but also discovers the potential of this country for riding enduro ! He was particularly fascinated by a trail which starts to the top of the hill in Las Varas, and ends almost in the city of Santiago (7 million inhabitants)! An old amphitheater overlooks the city and start the trail ! Jey shred this fast, dusty, rocky, and full of cactus trail directly made for after works.

Starting as a product promo for a sponsor, this project took on a life of its own when the company and I parted ways at the end of last year.

Huge thanks to everyone who helped with the filming.
