Sending some of the bigger features in Verbier Bike Park
We've swapped for Sabrina for Marco (@GrunisMTBCorner ) for this afternoon's session and the time has come to push my limits a little more.

It's been a few years since I visited Verbier, so it's time to go and check it our again. This time, however, I got Sabrina (@GrunisMTBCorner ) along for the ride.
A fitting end to a great adventure in and around Nocito

It might be the last day and it might be raining, but the riding just keeps getting better and better. #mtb #mtblife #mountainbike
We're properly out in the wilds now, and it's amazing!

Oh yeah! Uhuere guet gfahre Darren💪🏼💪🏼Voll geil👍🏼🤘🏼
Ooof, some serious jump feature sending going on there! Awesome to see mate 🤩
Looks awesome!! Danke für das coole Video!👌
A dream of a trail. Watching your vids I have to rethink my plans for 2025... Should have gone to bed instead ... Wow, this was a great ride!
Wow, that was quite an adventure. Steep and deep. Respect, you did it. Would love to try something like that, however, opportunities here are scarce...
Well, I am struggling as well on the first trail to find my mojo for the day, great trails and beautiful region!
Very nice. Nice region! On Insta I have come across some great backcountry tours, worth some vacation!
That was really good, love the more "alpine" aspect of the place, with the views etc. Wouayi looked really cool 🤩👍 As ever, excellent live commentary by the Trail Tracker!
Thanks Jay Dog! There's also plenty of enduro riding round there that I'm sure you'd love.
What a memory of an absolutely awesome bike park. Even though I unfortunately wasn't there that day, it was a great day and well worth the visit. Great to see you with Sabrina and mates, I'm already looking forward to the next video. These lines are so nice and this view is just a dream. Super riding and great jumping Darren. Thanks for sharing and have a great week mate🤘✌
Thanks for watching Christoph. The afternoon ride with Marco is definitely worth the wait!
What a place, what a vid. I want to go there now!!!
Cheers Jamie. If you can make it to Switzerland again some time, It'd be a pleasure to show you around.
Nice! Wouaiy is such a good trail! 🤩I love it! Did you try Chotatai for infinite flow?
I've never ridden Chotatai, must check it out next time I'm there. The black trail at the bottom of Wouaiy is also on the list. JUst need to find someone to ride it with me.
I don't know how good you remember it but it looks awesome Darren! That view at 4:08 ist mind boggling 🤩🤩🤩 Another spot on the Bucket List!
The views are epic and If you're partial to a bit of park, this is definitely worth checking out. You could also combine it with a couple of days of Trail Taxi to get those enduro kicks as well 😉
Winding Flows!!!
There is certainly a lot of flow on offer 👍
Awesome week, fantastic Trails, I loved the vids! Compliments, riding these trails for 6 day straight is both a physical and a mental challenge. Well done!Compare it to the High Pyrenees - do you prefer one over the other?
Thank you so much. It's always great to hear when people enjoy these series. I love putting them together and watching similar things on other people's channels,but interest does drop as the series progresses. The riding on both trips is excellent, so it's really hard to pick between them, but if you don't mind some hike-a-bikes and epic long days in the saddle are your thing then, the HIgh Pyrenees might just squeeze this one out.
Some interesting line choices on those rocky trails! Looks like a great trip, I hope I can get out there. Cheers
These trails sure keep you in your toes. If you do make it, you won’t regret it!
Stunning trails. Bit of exposure too on some. Excellent stuff 😎
Cheers Jonathan 👍I really can’t recommend these trips too much. Always world class!
Despite the weather... Looked like a great day out Darren... And one doesn't much mind a pedal when the trail looks like that! :D
You're absolutely right Phil. No amount of bad weather could have ruined such a great day's riding.
A Little Bit Rocky 😮 Great Series The Terrain Looks a really fun to ride But with the climbs i would love to have my e bike 😂😂😂
If I can do the climbs, you could certainly manage. I'm sure you would love the trails there.
Techy rocky trails. Nice. However, don't like exposure. Which tyres are you riding? .
The exposure was very present at a couple of points. I’m running the classic Assagai/DHR Doubledown combo.
wow, I had completely forgotten about how you even lost a spoke on the last day as well... what a mechanical-ridden trip! 😅 also, I knew what was gonna be your trail of the day in this video 😁 ... Los Caballeros was also really good though!
@@JayRidesTrails You’re right, Los Caballeros was amazing, but it couldn’t be trail of the day 2 days in a row.
This holiday was pure adventure🤩, a fantastic last day, a great group of fantastic trails and after the rain in the morning, good weather too, at least some of it🙈. I think these rock rollers are so cool and I'm glad one bike survived the rigours😂😂😂. I also wondered if all was well with you, but Jay took over at 07:03 and took your temperature😂😂. Great changes on the trail you lemmings.... I will join you on a Spain adventure one of these days. Thanks for sharing and have a great evening mate🤙✌
yeah, I thought he must have a high fever as the only explanation for him uttering those words. his temp was fine though. strange. P.S. yes, that would be awesome! a Pyrenees trip with all you guys 🤩🤩 amazing!
@@ckMTB Thanks buddy. I couldn’t believe it myself that I enjoyed those climbs as much as I did. While it didn’t make trail of the day, I’d love to ride it again - a real adventure trail.
@@JayRidesTrails That's really strange, that's not a normal reaction from him😂😂😂😂. Yes, it would be really cool to go there together. Have a great day Jay✌
@ckMTB yes, which is why I was ,worried" 😁 But turned out he was fine. Only possible reason being that the trails were in fact great! 🤩
I'd have one trail of the day, please, no sausage. That one was just exquisite!
@@LackOfJudgement That one comes with extra sauce! It was one of only two trails we rode twice that week and it’s not hard to see why 😉
Nice series, thanks Darren!
@@devbrix1 Thank. Glad to be able take you along for the ride 😀
Darren, we feel with you! 😂
Thank you. You should check out the full video. It’s one I still like to go and watch from time to time. th-cam.com/video/xrp5X5W_ibU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=76DcOPGFw9k8zhVq
I love MTB trail exploring!!! It took me 2 years to build up my MTB strength, stamina and skill set. But ya, I remember being out of shape and out of my skill set like that guy at the beginning. I used my gravel bike during the weekdays to build up for the weekend MTB trail rides. It’s been an incredible journey you just have to really want it. The payoff was absolutely worth it. Happy MTB Adventure Trails my friends.
Thanks 👍. We all have those moments when things don’t quite go to plan, but it’s how we react to the set backs that counts 😉
AWESOME! you should not have doubted your Mojo, that was an excellent ride. Standing trails. WOW.
I think that feeling of not being on form is something we all battle with from time to time. The trick is not to get too frustrated when things are going as well as they could 😀
So entertaining, amazing trails and great driving. Love this trip! Hoe, the rest will go better
Thanks dude. It really is a great place to ride, which is why I keep going back 😉
Numberone❤❤❤
❤️
Sick ride Darren ..... some great slab riding and the views 🤘
Cheers Dave. The slabs were so cool.
It was not that bad guys lol
Just one of the many little incidents that occur on bike rides 😉
It also depends where you buy, private or in a refurb shop.
Refurb shop sounds like the better plan for sure. I haven’t seen much in the way options where I live unfortunately.
Another great video of an amazing day! Awesome to see those trails again, I had forgotten about quite a few, as the Tremp days kind of overshadowed everything 😅 ... such good stuff! And I agree, the trail of the day was insane 🤩👍👍
We rode so many amazing trails in such a short space of time that it was difficult to remember everything until I came time to edit the videos. But then all the amazing details just came flooding back.
@@TrailTrackerSwitzerland exactly! The amount of amazing riding you do in those 6 days is crazy 🤩
Titts and Teeth baby 🤩🤩🤩
Those trails looked well gnarly! Good effort!!!
Thanks. They are considerably more difficult than the trail gradings indicate.
@@TrailTrackerSwitzerland YEah some of those "blue" trails look SPICY!
Amazing trails! Great riding🎉! Thanks for touring us through these awesome places. That first trail though... It is too scary even for walking 😮
Thanks for watching and commenting Costash. I hope you are well. That first trail was indeed a bit of a gnarly one!
Another adventure from Spain🤩🤘, which for trails, in my opinion just too many exposed places🙈😂. A few cracks but fortunately without injuries🙌. Great riding in the slippery conditions👌. See you soon mate and ride on🤙✌
Thanks Christoph. Some of those sections were pretty hairy! 😅
Another great day of riding, how were the quads feeling? LOL
The quads were holidng up remarkably well. I lucky enough to get plenty of training on long downhills, which really helps on days like this.
Great video, thanks for sharing. I have ridden with BasqueMTB a few times and I love how your videos let me remember the trails and relive my prior rides.
I’m glad you enjoyed the video. It's always good to relive these rides.
Great video, thanks for sharing. I haven't been to Tremp but it looks very nice. Seems like a little overreaction to your mechanical issues, worst day ever is getting bad injuries not a mechanical that is just part of mountain biking.
Thanks! I agree, a bit dramatic but I was far from happy at the time! 😅
Oh no 😢
Ooops!
Love that trail!
I really like that one too.
😊😊😊😊😊😅
👍
Nice one buddy looks very dry and rocky there 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Cheers Dave. Funnily enough it actually started raining on this descent.
@@TrailTrackerSwitzerland no you guys done well buddy. A lot of exposure, rocks. Very tricky trial 🤘🏽🤘🏽
choo choo!
You could walk ...
@@Alban98988 Far too sensible…
BANGEER day out that Darren... And a lot of ground covered... And a little JD cameo here and there... And bike issues mostly sorted... Can't really ask for more! :D
Cheers Phil. This was a pretty big day out, so I was really thankful that the bike issues were finally behind me.
