HIGH SPEED DOWNHILL CLOSE CALL IN DORENAZ | Finn Iles
5 Video Views·Nov 14, 2022
What is up everybody? Today we are in Switzerland. We are in a small town called Dorna.
I didn't really hear about this until last week. I've been staying in, just outside of Geneva,
at my mechanic's house, sort of preparing for the season. And I've never heard about this
place before. It's not really a bike park. It's actually, honestly, there's just one trail here
and there's a gondola that people use to access their homes in the winter when there's too much
snow to drive. And I came here last week. We did a little bit of testing and then today I came back
and I'm just doing a little bit of training. And this trail sort of got it all. It's like fast.
There's some flow. And then at the bottom, it gets to this like really hard, rocky, technical
sort of anti-flow stuff. So you really got to work on like carrying speed and pumping sections and
braking. And I think it's probably like a really good training trail, especially for this time
of year in Switzerland, like it's March and there's no snow here. So it's kind of perfect for me.
And it's a good place to get ready for Lourdes. So what I'm going to do now is take you guys down the
run and show you the track. Let's get it. So this trail is actually super long. I mean, there is
this bit of a road climb in the middle, but it breaks it up a little bit. And then this last
section from the road to the bottom is about say like three and a bit minutes.
And it's really hard. So good training, good training.
