Mendrisio pump track

Last saturday afternoon I went to Mendrisio, Switzerland, to shoot some photos with my friend.
It was Franz, Die, Mario and of course me.
This was the first time we had been there but this spot was pretty awesome so we'll go back soon!
We didn't have much time to ride, because of the trafic we found on the way to Como, but the sun went down pretty late.
Unfortunately I had problems with my new lens, a Sigma 24-70 f2.8 :( its autofocus is not working fast enought. Sad. Luckly I also had with me the 70-200 that works a little bit better on this aspect =)
I really can't wait to go there again! It's simply a pump track really well done by Claudio Caluori and his crew of Velosolution.ch. It's located in the middle of the village, next to the school. Near the track, there are also some cool street spots for bmx!
The track is free and open to everyone that wants to try to pump his bike, so you can also see families or young guys riding!! The only things you have to do are pay attention, wear your helmet and have a lot of fun :D
