The result is the worlds biggest untapped bike park .

August 13-21, Wade Simmons is inviting a small group of riders to join him in Switzerland on an exclusive DH trip called Alpenrock.

This trip of a lifetime is based in the buzzing college town of Brig, nestled in the heart of the Alps. Each day will be another unforgettable big bike assault: Zermatt, Italy, Aletch glacier (Europe’s biggest) and a ton more. The best part is that Simmons will be showing you how to rail the whole time. “What really fuels me is seeing people having fun on their bikes and showing them what they’re capable of,” says Wade. Come to Switzerland and ride some of the world’s best trails with the Shinobe of freeride mountain biking. How’s that for a once-and-a-lifetime invitation?
