The perfect trail to start downhill mountain biking! ✅ | Vallée Blanche trail at 2 Alpes bike park

There is a sequence of small S's o see the exit of the turns that's what will allow you to ease up a bit on the brakes and not slide through the turn And there we had our first jumps It's too beautiful Look at this view of the two Alps You can really see the whole resort You almost missed the slope Hello everyone this is Damien from LAPS Hello Maxime how are you man I'm good and I hope you are too We're at the Bike Park in Les Deux Alpes in Isère exactly at the top of Vallée Blanche and we're back for our first video of 2022 We are going to set off together on a slightly different concept because we noticed that you are increasingly many people following us and among you there are certainly a good number who are beginners or who don't dare come because they think it's too difficul Because of everything you've already seen which is much more extreme So compared to that today it will be on a green track and on this green track little by little we will show you de-traumatize you that with lots of little tips you can come And you can go mountain biking Exactly so we'll go on the Vallée Blanche trail which is just behind us We'll get a bit technical while we're driving find the track see that it's not that hard and then we'll go discover it Then it's cool because it's beautiful Go let's go Let's go we're off We're starting on this green track the summit of Vallée Blanche the Vallée Blanche track We start with an incredible landscape on this 4x4 trail downhill flat section too easy to get complacent You don't even really need to pedal with the two Alps to my right in a small background view we also have the entire plateau in Paris right in front of me a little bit over there and the big peak that is in the clouds is the peak of Alpe d'Huez the neighboring resort with the glacier at 3330 meters altitude On the Chambon dam as well which is just below The view is really great on this part of the trail Max are you going to do a little demo We'll talk a bit about the basic position on a mountain bike so it's like this feet flat pedal flat both at the same level heels down press lightly on the arms a finger on each brake as I am doing right now There's no need to put more than one finger on each brake that's enough to brake and there you are in the position ready to start We attack in the first corners with a view that is just crazy A small thing for driving on a 4x4 trail that you don't always pay attention to is to look far ahead to see the exit of the turns This is what will allow you to ease up on the brakes a bit and not slide through the turn So there's still a very gentle slope the Shep was really cool for that they made the effort to make a trail that comes to be ruly very little on the slope Brake at the beginning of the turn and try to release during the turn to avoid braking during the turn There it is the first turn section completed On the right side because on the left it's the blue one the jumps are a little big And here we have our first jumps For jumps we try to make small impulses we don't let ourselves be done to it's up to us to make the bike jump not the other way around It avoids imbalances Here I push on my feet and up Yes the manual And there we go up slightly and we're going to make a short stop to introduce you to the maneuvering area So this is perfect for warming up a bit and learning 2-3 little tips and there you go you 'll be able to apply a bit of it The basic position the small turn the step down that allows you to approach the first slopes and then you go back up aga For the rest of the Vallée Blanche hike let's go now that we know how to do it all Look at this crazy view It's a slight climb a gentle slope we can take the rock but we can also go around we don't have to take the modules First crossing There is a sequence of small S's Great for relaxing on the bike and letting the bike live between your legs Crap Short walk through the meadow On this type of trail and for bike park use there are several bikes available but there isn't a specific one What I mean is that you can easily come with one of your slightly suspended bikes to do the green track that's already good The ideal is to find a small rental bike that is available at a station somewhat like how we do it in winter with skis It's that you can have enduro bikes like the one I have right now It's a bike with not too big forks It is quite light and pedals well There is also the downhill bike which is a much larger bike with more suspension travel so which better absorbs shocks on large compressions And you don't have to choose between the two bikes both work very well the only thing is that it has to be the right size for you But that's something you have to see for yourself at the stores It's too beautiful There is the entire Bourdoisans valley below us which is opening up before us He took the turn Turn at the edge of the abyss hyper style And there we are really on a real trail It is open to everyone You can easily come here with friends with your girlfriend with the whole family even the kids Everything is possible It's a very accessible trail It's way cool And there we switch sides we are finishing the circuit around the Vallée Blanche ridge Sorry I'm a bit out of breath And you can see it very clearly We have the entire bike park right in front of us On the bike park of Deux Alpes you can also find the video on YouTube of the 666 trail which is a red trail if you're interested To see a slightly more challenging trail And there Maxime shows us how to do a pump track which means pushing when you go over the mounds On the trails you can also stop when you need to on the wide sections like this one there is really space to move aside you just step to the side We let the others pass we rest and then we go again Look at this view of the Deux Alpes you can really see the entire resort it's really amazing And across from it there are also other green trails it's not the only one of course it's one of the green trails in Les Deux Alpes And when the level is a bit higher but you're not 100% sure about going on a blue you can also have fun like Maxime does to play a little more with the sides the outside of the trac Like that climb a bit up the slopes jump a bit further on the jumps a new parking lot small bumps to cushion And there it's really a downhill bike because there's enough slope that you don't need to pedal but it's enoug "flat between quotation marks so you don't need to brake" "so it's really pleasant to just roll over it" And this makes things much simpler And there we go into a new turning area after this straight section where you could play with the speed Maxime is making openings so we go back to our starting position eyes up braking on entry we let go we put it in a little b A corner on the bike so it flows smoothly You can go full speed here it goes up ahead you get into the plane's position He almost went off the trac You almost missed the trail So we've already done a good part of the descent Upon arriving at a small restaura the middle of daisies i don't know if they're daisies but they're white flowers for sure I almost fell dow Don't forget to pedal 2-3 times every now and then because constantly going downhill We are in a fairly static position it quickly starts to hurt the legs moving the legs is really good it allows the muscles to recover It's too beautiful I think we're going to get a little storm it's starting to get dark A short 4x4 road crossing take a quick look anyway even though we're on a bike park It can happen that the station people come up to do an interview or things like that there a bit of a bigger jump and a bit smaller there are two choices same optional you don't have to go there that one you can even just roll it up e bridge Small information about wooden bridges be careful if you come one day where there is none left it can be slippery Avoid braking on the planks brake before and after but not on them this will prevent you from losing traction on the planks After us of course we ride a bit faster than a beginner because we know how to ride a bike so the speed is a bit faster What you are about to do is normal you you'll just need a few drops to get it inside and then it will run on its ow And there we are almost at the bottom we start to see a bit the cable car end of the trac You arrived you continued to wash the bike at least you leave the bike clean and that's for the discovery of this green trail in the Two Alps I hope you enjoyed it let us know in the comments your bike level and if you think of coming to enjoy the park this summer to properly prepare for your ride You can go to the website olavs com where all the trails of the
