“In the mountains, the perspective changes everything and obvious cliffs and features can become really hard to spot when riding. In my eyes it is one of the main skills that a freerider must acquire to become a good competition freerider.” -Xavier De Le Rue

If you’re going to take advice of how to conquer the Bec des Rosses during a competition run there’s no better person to listen to than XTREME VERBIER winner Xavier De Le Rue.  Xavier will not be competing this year but his younger brother Victor will be in the field. Today last day of inspection before the competition and Xavier had this to say to his baby bro:

“Ride with the smile on your face brother – like you well know how to.”
