old school vids of me riding in chamonix

my mate finally got round to posting this on you tube.

this is a vid of a trail from les houches from '04. skip the first min or two as there are some unridable (for me) switchback and a lot of faff before we get going.i also was carring 2k's worth of digital slr in that bag.

we were having trouble with the tape bouncing around in the video camera on rough ground so we filmed this local trail which was a bit smoother.

Never been able to ride turns like that. I guess you just have to get it onto the front wheel and kick the back round? Easier said that done if it's steep with a decent drop to one side!

Looks like great fun! Would you recommend Les Houches as being worth a visit? I would love to ride this sort of terrain in France, but I'm not sure whereabouts to go! I'm not quite up to the Megaavalanche at L'Alpe d'Huez yet!
