Vinyl‘s Tom Arkus recently spent some time over in France cruising the best sets of trails in Paris, Bordeaux, Banos and Montpellier. While he was there, he strapped the GoPro to the helmet and filmed some of the riding he got in while he was there. Enjoy the ride!
How To: Maintain Respect at the Trails
Some sound advice from Mike Saavedra. Definitely pick up a shovel people!
“It’s not too hard to keep it cool at the trails, but there always seems to be a new issue every other week over the same old issues–riding without watering, treating the trails as if they were a local skatepark, you name it, it seems to happen on a regular basis and cause a hell of a stir, no matter what patch of woods you’re in. In this week’s How To, Mike Saavedra gives you the run down on how to respect a spot, the locals that created it, and what he and plenty of other trail riders around the world expect from those who don’t put in hard work there on the regular. Trails are plenty of fun–but that fun comes with hard work that should at very least, be acknowledged, as Mike tells you in the video above.” – Ride BMX
