The countdown until Christmas has officially begun. As the first snow falls mountain bikers across the Northern Hemisphere have to finally face the harsh reality: the season is coming to an end. Generally that means less time on the bike but the shredding doesn’t have to stop.
Austrian mountain bikers and trials riders Fabio Wibmer and Elias Schwärzler figured they still had just enough time to have a bit of fun before the chocolate eating and gift unwrapping gets out of control.
Fabio Wibmer:
Every winter we always try to ride as much as we can before the real bad weather shows up. Once it does, there´s always the next best way to spend your time: bike games. We´ve been having a lot of fun playing Bike Unchained 2 so we figured: let´s up the stakes of our next episode and mix it up a bit.
Elias Schwärzler:
We played both the Downhill and Slopestyle modes so that if we fell behind on one of them we could recover on the other. The hardest part was definitely the last challenge though: playing the game while riding the bike at the same time!
