Happy HolidaysAll the team at Mountain Cycle would like to wish all our fans, present and future, the warmest of Christmas Greetings. We’ve closed our offices for a few days, though will still be checking mail from time-to-time, while we too indulge our stomachs and belly’s with food and laughter. We know that Santa will be making several people very happy this Christmas, and we wish his helpers luck in gift wrapping the frame! Walker in the snow…Many of the photographs used on this site were taken in the Swiss Alpes during this past summer by an American ex-pat called Will Walker. He and his brother Ben do a lot of photoshoots, trail digging and product testing during the dry summer months, so when the snow comes along they swap tyres for bindings and just keep on rippin’. Anyway, Will has just posted up some rather nice snaps onto the guest blog at Dirt Magazine, check them out, you might recognise the location in the 2nd pic – almost exactly where we took the Shockwave photo’s!
