Take a peak into Manon Loschi’s brain chemistry in Endorphin

The comparison with Candide is difficult to avoid. There is something about Manon’s powerful yet light-on-her-feet style, the way she effortlessly floats threes and attacks the mountain with a series of playful stokes, that all mirror “The Cat” himself.

The ease and speed in which Manon is able to adapt to novel conditions is also apparent. The confidence and aggression in these Alaskan lines make them look like the work of a veteran, not a rider tackling these spines for the first time—even if the mic on her helmet cam betrayed her nerves.
