Couple a pics
I found some photos from this summer on my computer that my brother, Will Walker took, so I figured I would share.
Julien got so close to me and I heard his tires skidding on the wall.
Me trying to go inside on my buddy Lolo. I passed him for one second and we rubbed some elbows a bit but he had much more exit speed and passed me right back. That trail is great for battling it out with your friends.
Me testing out one of the lines I built at Monte Tamaro.
A shot of me in a German bike mag end of year calendar. I built this trail as well and I live just behind the hill in the background and at the base of the big mountains, btw.
Another shot of me on a trail I built but this one is in Morgins, Switzerland.

Ben - great pics like always!
Any sign of Winter in Champery? Nothing yet in Austria - some trails are drier than in summer....

Those trails look sick. Great photos. I seriously need to stop thinking about spending money on my bike (or a leaking bathtub) and keep it for the trip to those spots  They look sick (though I kinda makes me wish I had a smaller park bike )

No, it is raining here off and on for the last couple days. If it would get cold it would snow but I am ok with a late winter. I still feel like riding the bike a bit more.
Damo, yeah. Let's do it. I keep meaning to come and ride with you guys to see the sneaky lines over there but the summer is always over so quick. You up for some train shuttles in Bex or Montreux this weekend or next week (just for fun, no need to shoot)?
Everyone else: Thanks guys. Come and ride it with me to see first hand.

Don't worry. The flat will be finished before the summer so I can join your overdamped giant on the trip :P

Finishing the flat sucks up money like F5 tornado

Tell me about it Though I prefer to live in this mess than lose half a season of riding again.
BTW. Do you wear baggy clothes when you meet the giant guys? Becuase adding you 30kg seems kidna odd

Yeah, this summer was over way too soon.
I'm off to the States on Sunday, so no go on the riding. I'm hoping the bikes will be off my mind when I get back!
I'll give you a holler over the winter though for some back country/kicker/cliff action though.
