"The Blair Switch Project" is one of the most technically challenging trails Singletrack Safari takes it mountain bike holiday guests on anywhere in Europe! Littered with dozens of super-tight, steep switchbacks it is almost impossible to ride without dabbing a foot.....until this year it had never been cleared. This was Rob and Simon's 3rd descent of the day during our "Border Patrol" ride - we only take very capable riders down this one - and Rob can be seen hopping and flicking around some of the toughest corners in the Alps. This hour-long descent starts drops over 1000m to the valley floor from high above the trees, before plummeting into the root-infested nightmare we call "The Root of All Evil" and flcking through ridiculously tight corners deeper and deeper into the woods....it'll make your nose run....be afraid!
was he bunny hopping around the tightest corners in flats? I guess they are clips otherwise that takes some skill. I love pivoting the tyres using the breaks around tight corners, makes things interesting off camber :P

@Skandoro He certainly is - with this trail the only way to get around some of the corners is to hop them, s the switchbacks are too tight to ride round!
