Summed it up pretty well. Tits.you continue to suck.
any job openings?
^seriously
good question. I'm always curious about that stuff too.
Sorry, I have the same two guys who work for me for the last 7 years. I would love to hire more people but we get by with the 3 of us.
I agree but it is a product for tourism and most of our target market doesn't like greasy roots. The mountain is covered in steep natural terrain with roots everywhere. These berms are on the first third of a trail with 3 styles of trail. The next third is all natural with nothing but roots. Morgins has more than it's fair share of roots.
It rains a lot here and the mountains are steep so I probably build more drainage than most places. I usually bank the trail slightly to keep the water on the inside and then cross the trail at a 45° and place a drainage after the berm and tighten the radius slightly to jump you right out of the berm and over the drainage.

You know Steven Ponting don't you? I'll make sure he gets me to the best of your work this year
I think I do but I am not sure. Is he over in Les Gets or Morzine? I know a bunch of guys over there and not one last name.17th of July for me
Every photo makes me stoked on riding and really want to ride it(or better move to the Morgins/Champery area ).
Yes, that is Morgins.
Awesome as usual! I always look forward to your posts...inspiring amounts of dirt have been moved on those berms.
To the poster asking about drainage...we use a similar technique to buckoW. Camber the trail such that water runs along the inside of the bench rather than against the berm, then run a pipe at a 45 degree angle under the berm, draining to the outside. If there is no room for a pipe, we typically do just what he described, place a roller or hump right at the exit of the berm, serves to get water off the trail while also letting you get some pop out of the berm.
I don't think mine are quite as impressive as his, but they show the drainage techniques well. Give it a shot! You'll appreciate the dry berms.
Thanks dude.Ben from the photos it seems you are unable to make a bad trail
btw. Frames? Can you tell us more? Im always interested in new brands on the market. Any interesting ideas they have?
Got any numbers you can share? Looks pretty much spot on for riding in the alps.
I was more curious about your buddies mini shop where you started making frames. You build voltage protos there?Thanks dude.
Frames? Are you talking about my Voltage DH?
Floriane Pugin got two third places on it in the last 2 WC's. The guys prefer the Gambler and the Voltage DH is just a proto for the race team. The geo is very extreme and many people wouldn't like it.
The head angle may be probably steep for normal tracks but I understand why people would want it.
Haha, I'll go check the damage this morning. That is what they are for.
We have 25 lifts here open for bikes in just one spot. Then there is another spot just a half hour down the road, then another one, then another one, etc... Come check it out Butch. When you are riding, the family cam learn some French and check out some castles and stuff.

Here is as pic of me from the other day while building. My brother Will Walker took the photo.

I'll see your dirty berm and raise you a nice shiny clean one.Impaled by a SHOVEL!!!! Somebody call the amberlamps.
I'll see your foreign berm...and raise you a Dirty Bird berm:
