The stars of freeriding have stress, competitions, training, sponsor appointments. But every now and then they can just go shredding in the bike park for a day and have fun... ok, the camera is always there. But that makes us all the happier, because it allows us to see what Patricia Druwen and Kathi Kuypers conjure up on the trails together with Sara Bassano and Pascal Sapunar and Dominique Ohaco.
In the five women's new YouTube video "Hot Shots Fired - Girls Shred Epic Bikepark Leogang", we accompany them on their day off: breakfast, then lap after lap on the lines "Hot Shots Fired by GoPro" and "Flow Link" and a sundowner on the pump track in the Riders Playground.
As a girls' shred is more fun with more girls, the two German freeride stars, Kathi Kuypers and Patricia Druwen, have also invited Sara Bassano from Munich and the two Chileans Pascal Sapunar and Dominique Ohaco to have fun with them in Leogang.
