Vink line
You can find the Vink Line in Chatél bike park,
in the french alps. This monster of a track
took 4 months before it was finally
completed. As it stands it’s probably one of the
biggest jump trails ever built in a public bike
park. Rumor has it it’s the only line that
can be seen from space.
