I have some on order from trickstuff but the piccolos which I ordered in September - they hope to send in April. I did get a set from R2 but it was the last set at the time.

Welcome to the life of an Alpine Junkie. THERE IS NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING here that can prepare you for just how ridiculously good it is over there. The nameless commute trails between the parks there are better than the best trails in Jonkers. I'm not exaggerating.

 

I arrive 14th. We get in to Geneva at 10.30. I'm going to have a kit to change into in the airport shuttle. Build the bikes in 5 minutes. On the lift by 2. Can easily bam out 3500m of descent in those 3 hours.

 

EVERY SINGLE MTB purchase and decision from here on out will be based around your next trip to the Alps. Yes you will be going back. Again. And Again. And..... Again.

 

The NUMBER ONE piece of advice I have for you from here on out is to STAY INJURY FREE!!! Don't try and turn yourself into a WC pro between now and then. You'll just end up hurting yourself.

 

For training I'd recommended a spot of aligator wrestling and bashing your hands with a light hammer for 6 hours a day. Seriously tho. Get one of those hand squishy things and get pumping. Also work on forearm strength and do lots of push pull type stuff before then. Even then you are going to kuk. But it's a good pain. You'll be bummed when it's gone. I don't like drugs but I hit 2 anti inflams in the evening and 1 in the morning.
