For a little fast descending trail inspiration have a watch at Smooth Operator – a recap of Laurie Greenland’s 2016 downhill race season. Finishing 9th overall in the DH World Cup ranking and pulling in a silver medal at the Worlds in Val Di Sole, it is was a pretty solid start for Laurie as his first season in the elite ranks. Check out more trail shredding and backcountry exploration after the jump…

Often nicknamed ‘Isla Bonita’ or ‘The Beautiful Island,’ La Palma was the destination Commencal and Rémi Thirton chose to take the new Meta AM V.2 out to thrash for a new video. Finishing off another good DH season with Thirton earning a 6th place world ranking, his brushed Meta was a chance to get back to some trail riding. Join them as they take on coastal paths and pine forest, to jungle and volcanoes, all over the course of just three days riding & filming.

Not Far From Home takes Finnish grassroots rider Erkki Punttila puts him on a new Kona Unit and sends him off on some bikepacking adventures. But the trick for his is of course that he didn’t have to go far seeking adventure, instead just hopping into his old fishing boat to get to some backcountry riding just outside of his own backyard. KonaBikes.com
