A Few Sunday laps in my backyard.

Fly behind Antoine Buffart while he enjoys a casual bike park afternoon in New Zealand. It seems that someone trained a lot recently to mix the best of drone racing and mountain biking together. Can't wait to see more of this!

Nothing beats the first lap on a track you've just re-vamped! Conditions were awesome for the first week of November. Normally everything would be covered in snow at Bikepark Châtel. Check more content at www.shaperideshoot.com

We, at Bikepark Champéry-Morgins know that you are all dreaming of an endless mountain biking season. Unfortunately we can't provide that as at some point the snow will come for the winter. What we can give you as compensation is an extended season providing lift access in Champéry to satisfy your downhill, enduro and e-bike needs every weekend until 22nd October. See ya on the trails!

What a season! With Nico Vink building the sickest trail ever, Louis Reboul hosting a slopestyle event and a bunch of mates coming from all over the world, it's been without a doubt the best summer so far in Bikepark Châtel. This video is a mash up of all the good times we had riding bikes with Nico, Kristof Lenssens, Vincent Tupin, Alex Volokhov, Remy Morton, Josh Lewis, Raphael Robles, Joel Anderson, Jasper Flashman and many more. Many thanks to the bike patrol team for their hard...

It's not often that our videographer, Gaëtan Rey, has some free time to get in front of the lens anymore. He was so stoked when we got our new Red Raven camera that he got out alone for a self-filmed short clip. More stories at Shaperideshoot.com

"Taking part in Redbull Rampage has always been my ultimate goal. Since I started mountain biking I have dreamed about completing in Utah, riding the most amazing and challenging terrain there is. I wanted this video to showcase my skills and capabilities riding big bikes in a multitude of conditions. Many thanks to all of you who made it possible, in particular the team at Bikepark Châtel for their help preparing the big jumps." Full story at www.shaperideshoot.com

When the guys began designing the new track, they wanted a super fun trail that anyone could ride, and that everyone could progress on. They wanted to build a line on which riders can test themselves and improve, but that is still on a track that is built for incremental progress. You don’t have to go from the little table straight to the road gap. They also wanted to build a trail that tweaked some familiar features and might give riders a fresh perspective. Take for example our humble berm...

MTB legend Nico Vink teamed up with Kristof Lenssens to build the sickest line ever in Châtel Bikepark. Here is a top to bottom preview of the track to get you stoked before we release the main edit next week. Featuring Nico, Kristof and Vincent Tupin aka VinnyT.

Follow Vincent Tupin and Gaëtan Rey down the Crosets track in Champéry. This flow has been entirely reworked for this season. An awesome work from the trail crew, all by hand!

It’s time to grab your buddies and dust off your bikes because Bikepark Chatel will be opening this coming Saturday at 10am!

Lead by Champéry legend, Ben Walker, the trail crew have been working hard to provide the best riding conditions for the season opening. The famous WC track has seen a number of improvements to make it smoother and more enjoyable. The Chevreuil trail has also been completely re-done to offer an alternative which is more accessible for all levels. Most of the job is done by hand, so if you see Pierre Barreau, Numa Sneiders, Kristof Lenssens or Gaëtan Rey working on the trails, feel free to...

The bike. A frame, two wheels, suspension, pedals, a seat, and bars. Mud flaps or chain guides, bash guards or brake levers. Components in a finite number of possible configurations. But no one would say that any bike is the same. Especially not this bike...certainly not Vinny. This Gambler was made specifically for him by Scott. It even has his name on it. Because it’s cut to fit precisely. Because it has a kickass paint job. “There are many like it but this one is mine.” That’s why it’s the...

On board with Shaperideshoot's filmer, Gaëtan Rey while doing some laps during Easter weekend in Champéry. Thumbnail picture's rider: Julien Fournier. Visit www.shaperideshoot.com for more.

Standing next to his bike or sitting in the back of the truck, Vinny T looks like any other rider. 5.10’s. Riding pants and jersey. Helmet and goggles. But on his bike, his feet are twisted and his hands loose and open on the bars. His style is full of weird, tweaky positions. His flow is as twisty as his grip. He corks the bars so far, his feet come off, and he’s bent up with his one- footer out under the post. When he’s pinned, it’s the cockeyed way he floats above the bike while it blas...

I had the chance last summer to shoot with Brendan Fairclough on the WC track in Bikepark Champéry.

Dorénaz is one of the gnarliest track we have in Switzerland. It's steep, technical, rocky and really fast. Take a run down onboard with Gaëtan Rey while he is doing the most of perfect riding conditions we have these days.

Follow us on a trip in the Arlberg region during the winter 2016. We went there on assignment for Scott Sports to shoot with Arianna Tricomi, Jérémy Heitz and Dane Tudor. It's not often that I don't shoot mountain biking but I love new challenges! www.shaperideshoot.com

Part 2 of the best action shots I witnessed the past few years. Big thanks to all the riders involved and all the persons who made this dream come true. Hopefully there will be a lot more to come in the future! Subscribe to the channel or pay a visit to www.shaperideshoot.com for more!
