    Nice video Dude, I live in Italy and I've been there a few times, those holes at the side of the trails are made by marmots, we call them "marmotte" in some zones of the northen Italy there are a lot of them.

    Awesome video Lance one of the best videos so far while you have been in Italy . That track looks so cool. And it’s great to see some young lads showing you around that young man sounds like he is really funny 😅. I’m trying to buy myself one of those Trek slash at the moment. They have some awesome sales on at Evo Cycles at the moment trying to get rid of all of the 24 stock . So they can get in the 25 stock in . Definitely looking forward to seeing you on your next video 😊

    Hey Lance, just returned from Tuscany myself and agree the Italians are much more sensible about HnS. It shows just how ludicrous NZ has become with cones and speed limits and anything where self responsibility is involved. Hope to see you in the redwoods one day. Cheers excellent informative videos.

      A new black track has just been completed... right in the area of ​​the big rock... very big jumps and huge berms .. definitely not small at all.. the tracks you did are fun but nothing challenging compared to what you find in some bike parks.. here in Italy, the scene is starting to grow now.. I sincerely hope that you had a good time anyway and I also hope to meet you if you pass by here again. Greetings from Temù… 🤘🏼💣🔥😉 cheers mate!!!

    Don't chases the Marmonts they will duck into a hole and you will crash. ANother great video. H&S they seem to work on the principal that humans have the ability to think. Mrs BDE if you don't have to fold the mirrors in you have PLENTY of room. As to not making videos when out with Mrs BDE you are suppsoe to be on holiday with her so some time with her rather than filming. editing, uploading etc is not a bad thing

If you do go try and hook up with someone who knows the place as there is some amazing trails there but signage is abit rubbish also it has some amazing off piste stuff there .

      @@bestdayevermtb2 yes mate ....a couple of shops right by the gondola and super nice staff . Honestly if you like natural riding then Samoens will be super good and also the ticket includes Les Carroz which you can just drop down from the very top of Samoens and is abit more bike parky . Samoens can be abit slippy in the wet but if the weather is good for a few days before hand then it should be all good . Also check out Les Houches which is towards the mont blanc tunnel but still not massively far from Morzine ....Bikepark is brilliant but the off piste stuff is amazing and would probably be a idea to get a guide . You said you and the Mrs are going to Scotland...have you been before? I'm guessing you have heard of the Golfie and surrounding areas? Apart from no Gondola,Good weather,Cheap beer and not huge gradient there are some of the best trails that I've ever ridden !
