SebJT Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 Hey all! Thinking about touring Europe in the summer for a couple of weeks with my bikes: Hex, Stumpjumper and CAADX. Any trials spots I should consider? Also any skateparks, pump tracks etc. Thinking of getting the ferry then heading to Germany, Austria, Switzerland, French alps, possibly Italy then back up France on the way home. Probably a mix of camping/air bnb. Any suggestions would be great! Seb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsalot Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 Buthiers! Some of the best natural I've ridden! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 Dunkirk is a fun place to ride, and you can get the ferry straight there. Rotterdam is really good too, and that's just up the coast from there (from memory, less than 2.5hrs). You can boot across from Rotterdam to Cologne which has some good spots too, and is again only around a 3hr drive or so. There's that amazing looking 'biggest in the world' pump track place in Switzerland somewhere, from memory. Might be worth a Google. Think it was made by Velo Solutions. There's also Stride Indoor Park in Strasbourg which has jump lines, possibly a pump track but also a newly opened trials area too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daviesdt Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Think that Swiss pump track might be this one, looks pretty good. Forward to 7.10 mins for the skate park right next door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canardweb Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 Spain has a lot of pure trials park if that is what you are after. Felsenmeer in Germany, Buthiers in France, few other place but trials is just dying here so better skip France really... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottleneck Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 There is an awesome bowl/skatepark by the lake in Lausanne, it's called Bowl de Vidy Also from what I've seen in videos, the pure trials park in Cran-Gevrier in Annecy looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bktrll Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 You should come to Budapest! Awesome city, lot of great spots, and everything is super cheap! (We also have 4-5 skatepark in the city) Big city ride video from the last year: https://vimeo.com/239271669 An another great video which shows the vibe of the city: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
