Locunolé a Breton town that welcomes and demons longskateurs
A freeride is not only an opportunity to eat a descent. In addition to finding a spot, it is also the site . Locunolé offers one of the story, and maybe even more.
Curiously, the potential for the descent of the Devil's Rocks longskate has not been discovered by an insider. It is by attending the competition Plérin locunolois a new way of considering the road connecting the town of Locunolé to that of Guilligomarc'h . The festival committee then contacts the first village Rennes Longskate. Some riders have the opportunity to test the run, which was quickly described as a gem for the region. The association then decided to organize the second stage championships France 2008. Thus the longskate invited in the history of Les Roches du Diable.
Because even before we see big names of French longskate, the place has been welcoming guests: St. Guénolé and the Devil himself. Early second millennium, according the site of the town of Guilligomarch , the holy place is enough pleasant to install a base camp from which he could evangelize the region. The major problem is that its move to the Devil himself has taken up residence. Beelzebub does not seem ready to let go so easily that it seems his lease and much hostile to the roommate. Ellé River, which flows in the middle of this beautiful natural site is the scene of a battle without thank you, who sees triumph Saint Guénolé - already, Christian morality is safe. The Devil withdraws from the other side of the Ellé, sheepishly. Saint Guénolé enthuses five minutes and then realize that would struggle to raise awareness God's word without being able to cross the river: we need a bridge. He returns to the Devil to offer him a deal: if he accepts a bridge is built, it may take possession of the first soul that crosses this bridge. The oral tradition does not say whether the contract was drafted with a notary or a legal person in authority, it is always the devil is rolling in flour: it is a squirrel running through the first Ellé (a Another version speaks of a cat). The devil finds himself very upset, and as a sign of disapproval, dives and disappears into the river, forming an abysmal chasm. The
longskateurs and descenders are found in other a place steeped in history. It might be easy for them to try to ignore it, just want to hang out, enjoy a free ride and its sausage-patties. But men and women on wheels are like any other: when they hear about a treasure, they are silent and listen to the singing legend River. Because the devil has not left the surface of the earth without leaving a bit of himself. Would be a treasure even today present somewhere under the rocks that line the waterways. It is not safe to try to seize it. Beelzebub has left a sow and her piglets watch over this treasure, which charge to anyone wanting good approaching too closely. Are you ready for the challenge?
