Chatel Mountain Style

Mongoose Freeriders Garett Buehler and Steve Romaniuk hit up Chatel, France for one big freeride contest.

If you’re going to France, make sure to stop off in the small village of Chatel. The riding is unreal, you can ride chairlifts all the way into Switzerland...the vertical you can put in in one day is endless and the trails are all top notch Whistler quality. The contest was rad, it was a mix of slopestyle and big mountain, hence the name "Mountain Style". With a great rider lineup and a super chill Euro atmosphere, it made for great times and good results for the Goose. On my first run a got a flat tire so I put the pressure on for round two. I didn’t want to go all or nothing and risk crashing, so I put in a safety run which was a good call in the end. I ended up getting 6th and Romo hit the podium in 5th. The entire event was unreal and the poeple in Chatel showed us a rad time. Can't wait to go back!
