we did the first day, all six teams were great! in 8 hours they did between 1000-2000vertical meters uphill and 2000-4000 vertical meters of downhillt.
tomorrow we go from davos to arosa and further to lenzerheide!
Yeah, I looked at all the 303 or so pics of the first two days (link given a few posts back), and this vid was just one of the “pics” so I saw it already. Amazing skills! From the angle the unicycle makes you can judge the steepness better than from the video itself, it’s really impressive.
(red lines are cable cars, those vertical nad horizontal meters didn’t count of course, but here is all together, so you have to ake them minus from the total),
as soon we’ve all the statistics from the three days (km, vertical meters, and km in the three different categories (asphalt, gravel path, singletrail) i’ll put it in here (we had them for the first two days, so we already had a winner)
