In this episode I took my Scott Gambler on one of the best freeride spots I have ever ridden. After Rampage we headed up to Big Water and had an amazing day ripping lines with good friends. Riders : Louis Reboul, Nico Vink, Christian Rigal (and me)

Nico Vink, a name that comes along with imagery of Fest Series big air, going ridiculously fast, and of course, style. But what many might not know, is that Nico also spends much of his time building trails that even us mortals can enjoy. In his words, "Spreading Happiness". He recently just fin...

Manuals for days, massive gaps for months and why just worry about clearing huge jumps when you can add 2 or 3 of your friends in the air at the same time. Nico Vink's 2018 point of view was bonkers.

Another fest series banger - a compilation of insanity from the Royal Hills. Master shaper Nico Vink spent 3 weeks digging up the hills for the guys. A week of shredding and dialed weather with a packed squad resulted in some crazy footage!
