Spectrum

Spectrum: Parachute - In Case of Mountains

July 23, 2014 by the editorial office

video1

Drew Carters is one of Scotland's most talented young downhill riders. This year, the only 18-year-old took part in the Megavalanche in Alpe d'Huez for the first time. Even though he got a flat tire in qualifying and in the race and couldn't show his talent, he brought us some nice shots from the snowy Alps. Next year he will be at the start again and then hopefully with a bit more luck.
