    Fantastic - does life get much better than doing that?

    Nice footage.

    Utterly terrible choice of music.

    Excellent video. Something else on my list of things to do. I was down in Tessin last year, I was very tempted by the Petit Saint Bernard, but the two hour + ride to base camp from Locarno put me off. Wish it hadn't now.

    Thanks for posting it.

    Haha, the camera it was filmed on (GoPro) is not the most elegant of cameras but the quality of the footage it records makes up for it IMO :p We have another video of the descent of Col du Rosalind which we filmed yesterday but unfortunately didn't upload to youtube so I will post it when it does!

    Music choice was not mine but I think it's sorta fitting :)

    Nice Video, I did this climb, the Cormet du Roseland, Iseran, La Plagne and Les Arcs 2000 last summer so looking forward to seeing the Cormet Du Roseland one as it has to be my favourite climb.

    I'm uploading it now, I tried to last night but it failed for some reason :( It's a better video than Petit-Bernard IMO :)

    brilliant, love the overtaking specially when you whizz past the motorbike.

    Agree,
    All Pendulum songs sound the same, and that keyboard/guitar thing they use is the stupidest instrument ever.

    According to my mate whos with us it's not technically a Col so I have renamed it Cormet de Roselend :p

    Good vids. They actually made me get off my a#se and upload one of mine from the Pyrenees last year

    Awesome mate. Really really good, music goes really well. The way that road narrows as well, nice one.

    groovy stuff. when it started I was like 'come head hurry up' then you turn that corner and its like you-know-what off a shovel and they even have road sweepers up there (1.35), class.

    Nickm926 - Keep them coming - every year I have a weekend in alps and say I am going to get a helmet cam and never do, so I am now living vicariously through your footage :D

    I uploaded a short one showing the descent as Lac du Roselend comes into view, I have another one to upload of us going through a busy tunnel but that's not that interesting. I do however have footage to edit of the descent from Tigne to Bourg and the descent from La Tania (near Courcheval) to Moûtiers.

    Tomorrow we're heading up Courmet de Roselend and filming the descent but from the saddle for a different perspective so there is a lot to look forward to! :) I shall post them up on this thread for your viewing.
