During the 2018 UCI MTB World Championship in Lenzerheide Switzerland, Phil Atwill (UK) met Chinnapat Sukchanya (Thailand) for first time. Both athletes are Vee Factory Ride members (Vee Tire Co. tire development program), and they shared their experience about DH racing, tire setup and riding plans after the race season finished.
Having never been to Asia, Chinnapat offered to show Phil around Thailand, to shred, and enjoy the country. Phil loves to ride motorcycles, so the plan to do road trip from Bangkok to Chiang Mai with their DH bikes strapped to the back were planned out! The final destination? The International Chiang Mai Enduro (ICE) 2018. They will compete with other riders from around the globe, in 8 Stages of ICE 2018 around Chiang Mai, Doi Suthep and Doi Pui trails.
In Episode 1, Phil and Chinnapat explore various spots around Bangkok riding tuk-tuk and visit the Vee Tire Co. factory. The next day the adventure begins. They start riding north of Thailand, heading to Chiang Mai. While on the road they stop for lunch in a traditional Thai restaurant. Things are about to get hot, sour and spicy!
Enjoy the 1st video of #dreamingdreamtrip and wait for the 2nd video to drop soon. Have a good time, lads!
