The all new Swatch Nines is taking over Green Hill Bike Park with a unique slopestyle and freeride line with some never before seen features, with design help from Sam Pilgrim, Thomas Lemoine, Eric Fedko and Vero Sandler and as always, the incredible build is not without its challenges! Enjoy the first build episode and keep an eye out for more later in the week! |

Make sure you keep an eye out for testing and when the riders arrive next week! |
| After 3 weeks of savage building on the incredible Swatch Nines slopestyle and freeride course it's finally...! Still not actually finished.
