I've watched a few downhill videos on YouTube they are crazy man

2019-05-03 23:12:11 UTC  

The smaller one is on a "bare" mountain (mainly just grass and huge rocks around you) and its shaped in such a way that, from the top, you can see the parking site.

2019-05-03 23:12:40 UTC  

It's so fucking weird when you can point out where your car is... when it's 900m below you.

2019-05-03 23:12:57 UTC  

Hahaha...so where abouts in Europe are you again..

Focus on her lips. ๐Ÿ˜›

2019-05-03 23:14:06 UTC  

cringe

2019-05-03 23:14:19 UTC  

Hahaha

2019-05-03 23:14:58 UTC  

The bigger place is in Andorra ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฉ, it's fucking annoying that I cannot use my smartphone there (roaming fees apply in non-๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ places).

2019-05-03 23:16:14 UTC  

Just like Wales...Haha..

2019-05-03 23:16:35 UTC  

It's good to get out in places like that...

2019-05-03 23:16:58 UTC  

So how come you've come across orwell

2019-05-03 23:17:54 UTC  

From the top of the resort, if I were to go the wrong way I'd go off a cliff and land in ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ.

2019-05-03 23:18:40 UTC  

I could basically jump off a country and die in another one. I'm sure a murder done that way would make for an interesting case.

2019-05-03 23:19:08 UTC  

@hicks - 2 main reasons:
ยท I saw him on Twitter years ago
ยท I'm non-retarded enough to see that he's a good guy

2019-05-03 23:20:14 UTC  

I was watching one of those monster avalanche races the other ...they're fucking crazy...

2019-05-03 23:21:07 UTC  

They do one in Vallnord, the resort in ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฉ I've mentioned, but it's a lot tamer (no glacier).

2019-05-03 23:21:08 UTC  

I've only just found him on YouTube..I don't do any other social media anymore..
Yeah .seems like a nice guy..

2019-05-03 23:21:57 UTC  

I've kinda wanted to visit the resort where they do the biggest avalanche race (Alpe d'Huez) but the trailmap looks confusing as shit.

2019-05-03 23:22:06 UTC  

You can tell when someone is speaking that they care about what they are talking about..

2019-05-03 23:22:32 UTC  

Would love to go to alp d'huez

2019-05-03 23:22:36 UTC  

In Vallnord even a fucking retard can spend all day going down & up the mountain all day no problem. In Alpe d'Huez you need to connect shit and all that.

2019-05-03 23:24:36 UTC  

They have lifts

2019-05-03 23:26:38 UTC  

You have lifts but the place is so big you basically have to connect them and some places are basically dead-ends so you gotta pedal for many minutes to get to another place so you can go back up and all that.

2019-05-03 23:27:44 UTC  

Look at this fucking behemoth of a map.

2019-05-03 23:27:59 UTC  

Click on it, then "open original", it's HUGE.

2019-05-03 23:29:17 UTC  

They all the runs....that huge

2019-05-03 23:30:49 UTC  

If you ever do something like EN4 you end up on Allemont (left side of the map), which leaves you with no way to get back up.

2019-05-03 23:31:25 UTC  

Fuck...cant you park your car there first..

2019-05-03 23:32:43 UTC  

Either you calculate that to be your last run of the day or you need some proper outside help so they can get you to Vaujany or Oz Station, both around 500m over Allemont (quite a climb).

2019-05-03 23:33:18 UTC  

EN5 also sends you to Allemont.

2019-05-03 23:33:28 UTC  

EN6 as well.

2019-05-03 23:35:13 UTC  

Damn...you need a support car dude..

2019-05-03 23:35:51 UTC  

Vallnord is nice (not as big, DUH) but way friendlier.

2019-05-03 23:36:35 UTC  

It's kinda funny that, without support, Vallnord actually offers a BIGGER vertical drop than Alpe d'Huez.

2019-05-03 23:37:23 UTC  

If you got help it's definitely bigger but you're gonna need a very supportive friend/relative so they can get you back up the hill a couple of times between morning and the early afternoon.

2019-05-03 23:38:17 UTC  

When I go to Vallnord either I go alone (there's enough traffic on the mountain, unlikely for me to die alone) or my parents get me there, then leave me alone for like 7-8 hours.

2019-05-03 23:40:09 UTC  

Die alone...hahaha.....atleast someone will be there to watch you die...

2019-05-03 23:40:37 UTC  

The mountain patrol is linked to ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฉ's only and really good hospital, I've seen the helicopter come pick people up.

2019-05-03 23:40:38 UTC  

You might of inspired me to get the mountain bike out in the nest few weeks dude..

2019-05-03 23:41:05 UTC  

I once saw the helicopter pick one of my friends up.
