Tomas and Edgar take on the persona of Walt Disney's cartoon duo of anthropomorphic chipmunk brothers Chip and Dale. In this latest edit, Leon Perrin's filming takes us on a mind-blowing journey to see the pair get up to mischief and send it high, like a scene from ET at times.

The video begins at the Les 2 Alpes 3600 Bike Park, panning out over a pristine set of jumps that look crafted to perfection. The sun blazed over the bronze-coloured jumps, and the pair started whipping and flipping their bikes about with ease. Whether at the skate park, dirt jumps, jump bike, downhill bike or BMX, they tackle it all with flair and style. At times, the jumps in the Alpes look super-sized, and the lads are jumping off a giant's creation.
