to watch at correct speed, go to settings and place watching speed= 0.5x
Hahahahahahahaha
good one. would still be 10x faster than my brain could cope, let alone my body! hahahaha
I accidentally watched at 1.5, that sht was intense
@@felixvlack9818 Try at 2x speed.
Exactly!
I lost track of how many times I would’ve died. Absolutely insane.
😂😂😂😂
About 2,345 times.
I would only have died once, right near the top.
I thought the Same!
Under every video like that someone writes that….boring
Well, this has to be some of the most insane mountain bicycle riding I've ever seen.

Amaury when the World Cup race is in France --> 🚀🚀🚀
I don't think I could even walk down that trail. Absolute incredible.
i feel sorry for you being on a wheel chair. Keep it up.
I could ski down it... but not in the summer. Ha
Such a headrush to experience this vicariously. I'm still shook by the speed and confidence in his lines. Unfathomable to put oneself in his head space. Surgical precision
Man I am absolutely and undeniablely flabbergasted by thou’s english, 😂😮
It’s like he’s floating over that rocky terrain - it’s absolutely amazing.
With good suspensions and if you maintain sufficient speed without braking, you don't feel the relief of the rocks much... (but you need iron balls 😁)
Camera has stabilizer
@@sparrow56able 😁stabilizer does only reduce low amplitude vibrations . It can never erase hollows, bumps and jumps ....
200 mm suspensión
GoPro's smooth out all the jarring. Most of these bike runs look like they're floating because of it. @Jan Solo - GoPros can remove quite a lot more than you're giving them credit. Check MEGAVALANCHE 2022 ⚔ | THE GOPRO RUN you need to watch | w/ Damien Desbrosses Timestamp 10:24 Closed Captions on - he almost goes over the handlebars but just looks like a tiny bounce if he wasn't narrating.
Every second of this was so intense, I genuinely had an adrenaline rush throughout the whole thing! What a legend.
On my friend's wall projector -- I can't take my eyes away! It feels like I might fall!
It was alright, I am 340 lbs and could of done better.
@@simpleman7516 yes, you sure could OF
Hard agree. I was sitting down and felt like I to concentrate 100% of the time.
I had an industrial fan blowing in my face for effect.
That looks like a lot of fun, and so easy. I bet if I tried people would say things like: "I've never seen anything like it." "He'll probably never walk again" or maybe even, "It'a impressive how someone with such a slow time could take out that many people at the finish line."
haha
I would still be impressed you made it to the finish line.
@@WonderMonkey2 nobody lives forever. Might be worth a shot.
@@westboyer9931 Well yeah, of course! I'd have to carry some tools and spare brakes as I'd be on them quite a bit of the way. May need to change them.
lol
That was a-maz-ing. The crowd was next level! This sport is so awesome. I’m so glad I picked it up , even if I did when I was in my late 30’s haha.
Can you please explain how did the crowd or he knew he came first? By the looks of it it looked like a single run each rider so how did they all know that he got first?
They usually have a screen displaying their times on the track@@mar__k
Honestly I'm just finding out about how amazing this is and really want to know how to become apart of this lol
you can become good at it by being a good rider@@mugenmugen6556

He's so fast that the cheers have a noticeable Doppler shift at times.

I don't get the cheers and the noise when someone is performing a task where even a momentary lapse in concentration can result in death. They should just be quiet
@@infinitydreamzz have you done such a sport yourself? I would say its different from person to person but in this case i bet he just zoned out like most? people do, since you also get "used" to it i would argue its just white noise in such a speedy run where your brain has to cut out many things in order to just concentrate on ur task. I also think it can boost your confidence
Absolutely INSANE!!! This is GOD level skill. The speed he went through the narrowest of gaps between those trees… 😳😵💫
and when you see it for real, it's crazy how narrow this is, this guys are madman
Gives new meaning to the phrase ‘living on the edge’. Stunning run! 🙌🏻
Absolutely bonkers. The man is back.
He was never gone! Just hurt...
I read this is “the man is black”
@@bentoth2494 noting the backlash against this rider last year around matters relating to race, I definitely did NOT say that.
Where tf is that water???
Absolute and utter BOSS!!!
As a guy working an office job, Im amazed that this is humanly possible. The hand-eye coordination and stamina of this guy must be off the chart. Absolutely crazy
Try mountain biking, I'm an architect and I was always in the office, drawing plans etc.. Then I got myself a mountain bike, and I actually feel so good whenever I'm on the trails, It made me realize that there's more things like this outside my studio that are so much more enjoyable. I'm obviously not even a percent close to the guy in the vid but yeah, I still enjoy it lol.
Its not that his hand eye coodination or stamina are off the charts, its just that hes practiced alot.
Not everyone can do everything need the work
No doubt. I couldn't maintain that pace on a high end dirt bike...heh
@@Wildminecraftwolf well... he practiced until his coordination and stamina became very high :P
Wow this is awesome. Much talent on this guy 🙌🏼
I tried doing this in my dreams, and still managed to break 17 bones!! 🥶
lol
😂😂😂
I crashed into a tree and died just watching this. People even came to my funeral.
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
It's crazy how immersive this is. You almost get into the headspace as if you were racing yourself!
actually took me back to my national championships race run like 9-10 years ago and i can suddenly remember what it was like crossing the finish line haha.
Super intensive. I got the feeling that after two minutes there is no oxygen left for the brain and hands feel numb.. just follow the plan and pedal as hard as you can.
@@robanzzz5124 nobody asked
@@naiao No body asked your opinion either cobs and my comment is on topic anyway so not sure why you're salty.

amazing. Thank you for making me such a wonderful experience, my friend.
Total respect for anyone that can ride like this !!
WHAT?! Insane what it takes to win a WC
more insane is the video not being in 4k in the middle of 2022
@@BikeIsLife4EverGG no point in it being in 4k pretty much everyone still on a 1080p device
@@joeslider7236 still looks a lot better in 4k
@@joeslider7236 Plenty of us do have devices that would benefit from 4k and all the decent KZhead channels give you the option. The quality of this video is terrible on my computer monitor. Not to mention that it almost certainly was filmed in 4k but, for some reason, they only uploaded in 1080.
Start a letter writing campaign.
That is an insanely long track for that level of sustained intensity! 😮
As far as I can judge ge's pacing himself and taking off a little speed and force on the "calmer" sections and then goes all-in again in the tough ones.
That jump right into a narrow tree gap at about 1:50 was amazing
Oh my Lord! That was a terrifying run to watch no matter ride & he nailed it! Only in my dreams. Congratulations!
He won even though he lost 1,5 seconds in the upper sections… What a run…
@Whgu ybnm im not a prof, but i looked to me like he lost some time at the corner at 1:09
@@oliverfowler Looks like you are a prof
He teleported through the lower section
He just FLEW through the rough stuff at the lower half. What a guy.

Pov DH is and always will be my favorite thing to watch on KZhead! insane run! Much love from Australia cheers
yeah its sad that they don't stream POV DH .... looked finals for 20min but the camera work was "meeeh"
Same here!
i saw drone videos which record behind drifting cars, realy cool stuff, too! :)
@@Wrutschgeluck Rad! Any links please
love from australia? is that worth anything? lol
How the hell do you keep that level of intense concentration is beyond me. Wow. That’s impressively crazy!
some people are just built different
Agreed. Kinda like those guys in the wing suits. Moving that fast your brain has to be processing every move way in advance of a normal person.
Not to mention how badly your hands start camping from that insane amount of brake control and steering.
He's flying through this run, absolutely amazing . It’s like he’s floating over that rocky terrain - it’s absolutely amazing..
You can really see where he lost time too. Losing that much and still winning, the rest of the field must be worried! Incredible!
Could you please show me in which parts? Really wanna try to identify it...
@@GaedeRafael 1:10 to 1:17 ish
@@Wockaflockafish yea
If he went faster, he would end up hugging the trees
@@Wockaflockafish I can see him slow down, but's it's hard to tell if he is really losing time there because I can't see the bumps in the terrain or the steepness very well from this perspective. Maybe he needed to slow a bit to get the right path for the wheels. You can also not steer when flying over the bumps and notches. I don't count slowing down for that as losing time. But maybe you are right :P It's impressive either way.
Wow! That was a hell of an insane ride, so brilliant! One wrong move and you're in a tree at high speeds.
Fearless run! Absolute commitment. Just insane to watch!
Even on feet I would have died 1000 times on that track. This run really was insane. Congratulations for surving this.
I like how the entire course is sharp, jagged rocks but the trees have padding on them. 😍
I think it's so the trees don't get hurt.
Only the trees that have been sponsored though...
This run was so fast I had to double check my playback speed! What a ride!
🤭 me too, crazy speed
Bro literally man’s flew over most of the terrain
The film is sped up
@@benskinner1713 it's not. His official winning time was 2:47.711
@@JubeProductions 😂 That's a RUBBISH time to be fair. I could have done it faster on my Grifter when I was 11.
Insane!... Much respect!!! ✌️🇧🇷
it’s absolutely amazing.
Bruh I flinched and leaned back on that first turn!😂 I’m not even sit here & gonna lie!! Those trees scared me towards the last half, one slip and your clavicles are gone! This is the real definition of intense! That rider deserves more than just his sponsors in my opinion. These riders risk there lives just for this sport and all the other sports out there.
Anyone who's ever rode a bike can agree, THIS WAS IMPRESSIVE
I mean, you don't even need to ride a bike to see that this is insanely impressive
No it's not impressive It's absolutely insane bonkers
@@wilurbean BONKERS IS SELLING IT SHORT!
I bet those hobby cyclists in their shiny spandex would say they could do it with their spec.
I mean come on. Even if you've never heard of a bike before....that was incredible
Killer run, thanks for the ride. The crowd was clutch. Gave me goosebumps for you.
I would have broken my neck at that first piece of rock right there.
This Man Took Mountain Bike Shredding to the next Level!
He's flying through this run, absolutely amazing 🤩
That's incredible to watch!
His breathing tells you just how intense that sport is
Idk if I’d call it “riding” looked more like a controlled fall. Lol absolutely insane!
he is floating over the terrain!
He's falling, with style 🧑🚀
That "Putain" at the end was so emotional. Goosebumps
Geisteskrank! Hardcore Leistung! Respekt ✊
OMG. This is amazing ride!
the movement in the audio flowing down a mountain of thousands of people is mind meltingly beautiful to hear. Lovely riding, and thanks for sharing
That is one of the gnarliest courses I have ever seen taken at such speed. That was ridiculous! So impressive.
That’s it. The speed they’re carrying through the rock gardens and rutted turns in the trees… 🤯
I normally watch these as is, but I had to shift to a skiing mindset and tried to see the path rather than the obstacles. Even then one of those blue boundary posts seemed to pop up out of nowhere. What insane concentration and skill
This feels like I'm watching drone flyover footage of the course, not someone actually riding it. INSANE!
Absolutely nuts! Great to see him back, the Frenchies are on fire 🔥
Mr Achilles enjoys MTB ??? Definitely faster than your tractors 😂
That felt like a video game performance, hard to believe humans can actually do that on such a vicious course. Truly remarkable..
Why was I leaning left and right whilst watching the bits between the trees??? 😂😂😂😂
Fantastic Ride !
Absolutely......what!!!??? 😳😳😳 Utterly incredible run. He's back! 💥💥💥
How can anyone be that fast without losing control ? Man, that was amazing.
It's amazing how he can control the ride when it is borderline out of control the entire time. There's something sketch happening almost every moment throughout the ride.
I swear I saw him tank several boulders, but he just went over them like butter.
Full suspension and good tires and mad skillz
Almost floating... and the lightning fast reflexes! Amazing

Absolutely freaking awesome and also scary as hell. Was there even a smooth spot on the whole track, i didn't see one. Wow he deserved to win.
What an adrenaline rush watching this, so epic!
The audience tho…. Goosebumps. Must feel crazy riding there.
I struggle to sense the speed these guys race, except for this run. The only way I could genuinely tell the difference in speed on this run was the way that the air horns sounded when Amaury went past. I've never experienced audio like that on a final bike run. The sound is unreal just hearing all of that whiz past you and keeping your focus. Some of those lines weren't even lines! Madness, big up
Quite possibly the most stunning piece of riding ever.
Exceptionnel, merveilleux, bravo.
So much flow and great line choices, picks the perfect spots and has so much faith in the grip
the lines are so clean and he pumps so efficiently.. with how aggressive he carved the corners im surprised the dirt didn't just collapse lool
One of the best and fastest rides i've ever seen! Crazy Guy 💪🏻
Wife: hey honey how was your day Him: it was good just went for a ride 😂😂
Insane. Bravo 👏
That was insane!!! Major props on that run 🙌
Holy smokes the speed and precision on this run is amazing, you can tell he was giving it his all 🤌🔥
Just the way she likes it
It is so cool to see the size of the crowd cheering on the riders! Thank God life can get back to normal!! I would love to go to that venue and watch that race!! Good Times!!
Increíblemente Fantástico!!!!....
I dont even know what to say. Ive seen so many scary vids, but few come close to this. How you even had traction to make those turns is beyond me. It looks lome you were barely touching the ground at times making those turns. Absolutly incredible. Superhuman. Nuts.
That was flat out AMAZING!!! the praise was well deserved, that was an insane ride that made you cringe and turn your body with every movement. One wrong turn and you could have been either seriously hurt or in the cases of the trees, dead!!! Thanks for this.
Wow 😮 my forearms hurt just from watching this run. Absolute madness 👍
His riding is so smooth that I can do it easily too even though I’ve never rode a bike a once in my lifetime.
Outrageous 👏🏻

I got into watching this sport when Aaron Gwin was bursting on the scene and at his peak in the early years...I never thought I'd see anyone as quick as him. This run however, is so much faster than anything I've seen before. Just shows the advancement in technology and sebsequently in riding skills
I started watching this stuff a while before even Gwin, and I was just thinking to myself the winning runs seem to be so much further into the superhuman than they used to be
Hallucinant 😳 sacré performance bravo
GNARLY RUN WELL DONE!
What an insane run. Great video, seemed to be almost perfect.
Crushing those rock gardens, drops and corners. The line through the trees was nuts
Yep I would have face planted into the first tree if I made it that far.
this deserve way more recognition
Zoned in pure focus. Great run!
Insane pov The speed these guys go is amazing 👊🏼
What an insane run. Can't imagine riding that fast. Very awesome first race of the season. Now to wait lol.
Awesome!
Holy crap that was unreal!!!
Amazing. At first I was confident you could learn a track that well, then it seemed to keep going for a while and finally it went to wondering how the hell you don't make any mistakes in a technical run that long.
I didn't blink an eye during the whole video. That was a unique experience. Merci et félicitations à Amaury Pierron.
C'est sûr putain!
Never watched this before, it was incredible
Crazy he was actually really going that fast! Flawless performance by a master of his craft.
É um trem! 😯 Passando por cima dos piores trechos super rápido! Amaury é Sinistro. 🔥
Incredible run! Thank you for allowing me to watch 🙏 that as I will never ride a bike on such a path. Insane…who finds these places to ride? Great work! 👏🏻

I've been riding MTB for years and I'm more of an XC rider. I've bombed down hills before but every time I see these folks shred the hell out of downhill like this, it just blows my mind how quickly they're processing what's coming at them. Good stuff.
He's probably done the track before, and might have done it so much that he has the whole thing memorized. It's not that long a track, and from his name he probably lives in France, and thus can get to it for practice without vast trouble. Which isn't say that it didn't take considerable skill and courage.
the world cup level instructor i had one year told me that you don't process it. You keep your chin up and use the bottom of your vision, which is reactionary. processing takes to long. you memorize the course then react almost automatically
Impressive , that is pure Full Power everywhere.
Respect !
