11th of October: Calais-Dover
First stop: Hastings-The Source Park, it was very nice.
Then Corby (near London) Adrenaline Allay where we met our friend Harry Schofield.
After that, we started our trip to Alf and Jake’s to Lancashire near Liverpool. They welcomed us for a month and from there we visited many bike parks and skate parks (AE forest MTB Scotland, Revolution BPWales, Graystone Salford, Ramp 1 Warrington, Junction 4Darwen, Pimbo Bike Park Skeimersdale, One Giant Leap Llangollen Wales, Fly Up Witecombe Wales...).
We met with Max from Reverse Components and Flowgroh, team rider from Reverse Components at Revolution BP in Wales. We are now on our way to London area.
The ferry is booked for the 30th of November from Portsmouth to St Malo.
Until the time change, the weather was still warm for the season but since then it’s a British cold autumn 😅

The EVO Jam 2022 was scheduled on the last week-end of september 2022 in the Haute-Provence French Alps.
Ranked amongst the most beautiful bike-parks in the world, EVO Bike Park was in perfect condition before the week-end. We had great runs with many friends !
The line-up was impressive, with lots of top riders.
Unfortunately, due to bad weather conditions, the main event of the EVO Jam had to be cancelled.
Nevertheless, we had a lot of pleasure to be there, like always at Evo Bike-Park !
Do you want to have a look at Raoul's backflip ?

It is always a special feeling for the family to come back to St-Luc, the place were the parents, Toni and Laetitia, met for the first time 20 years ago !
The weather forecast was a bit scary in the middle of the week with temperatures dropping to 4° Celsius, but finally, everything went well, and the sun was shining over the Swiss alps during the week-end !

As there isn't any U13 Category at the Hot Trail Series, Emric had to compete
in the U15 Category.
His rank 13/45 is a very good performance in U15,
as most of the participants
are born in 2008 and 2009.
He set the best time amongst
riders born in 2011.
Raoul didn't participate, due to some pain in the wrist.
After a few days spent in Slovenia at
the Flat Out Days,
we went to San Cassiano
Alta Badia (ITA)
for the Rookies Cup.
What a beautiful landscape !
On saturday, Emric was ranked 4th in the
seeding race of the U13 category.

We are delighted to leave Italy with
two more medals in the pocket !
It was a great pleasure
to be invited by Flat Out Days in Kočevje.
Nice and hot weather,
lots of friends, yummy food and
well shaped lines !
