Craziest & hardest mass start mountain bike race I have ever done! Megavalanche in Reunion Island was a challenge of bike, body, and mind!
Check out the full race run, complete with commentary and live position counter!
I'm on the edge of my seat ducking under imaginary branches in my living room.
😅😅😅
I cracked my skull in 4 places...
same here in front of my PC, I was sliding with him, thinking I was going to fall over hahahaah
I fell off mine when that branch hit him in the face!
i was too lol
The captions throughout are really useful thanks 👍🏻; I wish other people did this too when they post full race videos, it really helps with understanding the experience.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I agree
Kilian Bron did this in Megavalanche Alpe d’Huez 2022 and 2023.
@@padmeamidala4883well all his videos nowadays
I love the amount of confidence and strength you need to do this and just the arrogance of narrowly overtaking people but then complaining when it happens to you.well done.
Thanks xxx
I don't recall
talk shit in the moment, then embrace each other in hugs at the finishing line haha. The feeling of being competitive is something else! miss it
@@benher6934 it was around the 29 minute mark. they were on a wide trail but someone still came past him in the most difficult way possible. Nearly took each other out by making such a move.
34:26 - the sky and horizon during this section just looks surreal. Beautiful. Thanks for the video and the captions! The captions added a lot to the immersion.
Had the privilege of living here for 2 years in my early 20s. Absolutely gorgeous place. Highly recommend visiting.
That was intense I couldn’t even see what we were doing, but just the sound effects and everything else and the screeching of the brakes… it’s your blind friend from Tucson Arizona enjoying your videos…21 isn’t bad after how many people started. That’s really good proud of you.❤❤❤
This is an excellent watch, love the moments when you drift out and manage to recover. Being right on the edge of it for such a sustained period of time… that is damn hard work. Big well done, be proud of that one.
I have a little panic every time he wipes the camera because I can’t see where I’m going
Same lol
😊
ive watched loads of "mega avalanche"stuff, but the difference the commentary and the on screen positioning makes on this upload takes it to the next level. ta
Good that there's no loud music or anything, just listening to you working hard which makes one appreciate it even more because you loose so much of it if you just throw some music over. Then you get all the ambient noises as well which adds to the immersion.
I love watching these races and my preferred viewing position is full screen with my face about 1 1/2 feet away from the screen. You really get that 1st person feel.
Stoked you enjoyed it - that’s always the feeling I want to bring out for people 😊
What's the money price though
Absolutely insane. For awhile I had it on 2X speed and I feared for my own life.
Amazing, as someone who has never done this sport thanks for sharing. Your skills are amazing!
Another excellent video. I especially appreciate the captions/commentary.
I'm glad to say that he was very alive in these 45 minutes
Thanks for the massive manual at 35:30 minutes! 🤘🏾
Haha - surprised you watched until this point
That was a great watch! I watched the video from the winner - Olivier I think?? - and it was cool but he was in front the whole way and it was kinda boring. This had spills, thrills, chills and ACTION!! Congrats on your effort - I can only imagine how difficult that is. Respect!
Stoked you enjoyed it ✌️✌️
All I can say is WOW!! This is the the first time I have seen anything like this. How on earth did the bike survive this, let alone you for 45minutes, RESPECT BRO!!
Love this! Love the format, love the comments, love the lack of music so I get a real feel for the sounds and overall rush of what this might be. Awesome job!
It must be really difficult to play catch-up, when you're unsure how far behind you might be. Your videos keep getting better and better. These races you participate in are incredibly interesting to see from a first-hand point-of-view.
This is the most frantic and scary one i have seen to date. MAD RESPECT!
Excellent run dude! That course is so brutal on both man and machine so kudos for finishing in the time that you did, and without any major incidents!
Absolutely incredible mate! So brutal on the body and mind! Impressive to stay composed and not gas out! Awesome
Awesome footage, and a great performance by you!
This one of the most compelling races I have ever watched. Great stuff. 😮😮
Congratulations it was a exceptional race! Yes: the Technik is the tactic! Must wait for the end of "the mass effect", then waiting & catching the wide ranges Congratulations! You were extraordinary! The scene in the forest is my favourite! You were able to spare your energy until the end + firmly keeping the track in the rumble! Thank you for the sharing! It's inspiring.
I hope you had plenty of Rougail Saucisse! I lived here for 2 years. I immediately thought "wait... is this race starting at Maido? It is! Absolutely surreal seeing my favorite place in the world on a video like this.
Mad race! Great effort and progress making up places!
Absolutely one of the best racing production I’ve ever seen. Wow !!
That looked absolutely brutal well done for coming 21st 👏👏👏👍👍👍
WoW! Kudos Bro......1st saw this 4 years ago! Absolutely crazy brilliant race.
Great to watch, thanks for posting.
My wrists ache watching this haha. Amazing effort and strategy! Thanks!
that was crazy riding and mad inspirational. keep sending it dude!
Wow. Amazing endurance! I need a three day rest period, and I watched from a kitchen counter! Great job!
My friend, thank you for giving us that beautiful, great descent, the place where you were walking down at full speed? A pleasure brother, thank you, truly from the bottom of my heart for such beautiful landscapes, it is very appreciated to see a video that transports you and makes you feel part of it. Great, brother, a giant hug.👊🏼
Fun race, thanks for posting!
Pure crazy , so difficult and tricky . That bike sure can take a beating . Well done mate , insane racing
Simply Incredible! I couldn't stop watching.
that was awesome loved every second and camera perfect
And yes the captions gave me an insight to what's going through your mind! I don't mountain bike but this gives me a big enough rush that I'd rather watch you do this. It actually feels like a virtual reality game. I'll just sit on my bike in front of my wide-screen lol!!
11:05 What a save! Beautiful landscape and stage. Grats!!!
😎🙌 just amazing , thanks for that video bro! 🤟
That's so impressive you coming 21st position 45 minutes video of race is insane🔥
This puts you up there with Killian Bron and Stefan Peter. Well, maybe not all the way up there. Killian is the only rider I’ve seen start in last place and finish first. That ride looked punishing.
Captions added an extra element, but I wish you cleaned the camera lens more often ;) Kidding it's great to have a clean lens... I was thinking it was actually incredible how often you were able to take a hand off to clean it! Great video :)
A rear facing camera and speed indicator would make your videos next level, your commentary is the best of all the bloggers I’ve seen great vid
Amazing riding. What a brutal course. Really impressive ride. Well done.😊
Emotionally satisfying.. Thank you.
Utterly brilliant rase mate I really enjoyed it I was on board with you all the way dude 👍🏽 🇬🇧
Congratulations man, nice racing !! 💥💥💥💥💥💥
What a watch Alex how you kept that together in places I dnt know well done very entertaining 👌👏👏
On the edge of my seat watching that, epic race.
cracy race, your the best . Love watching your vids
Brilliant video. Crazy race !
Alla ni som kör, ni är fantastiska, särskilt du med kameran som ger mig o oss denna resa, Tack
Mate that was awesome, I watched the whole thing!
I can feel my body clenching and muscles tightening every time something happens. Which is like the whole time lol 😂
that race was nuts.. i give it a thumbs up..
Poor people at the start,the damage must have been costly,they looked sad. But overall awesome race and video.❤
Time for an appropriate meme ... "Gaaas Gaaas Gaaas You Better Step On Da Gaaas !!!"
That was epic. Great video, great ride.
Good job on getting 21st place and i wish u luck on ur next race!
That was insane! Thanks for the Rush!!
Glad you enjoyed it - hope I didn’t scare you too much 😅
I seldom watch long video's mad respect to you your stamina and riding skill is top level you passed 40 people definitely gonna subscriber to your channel
Well done,loved the vid
Some effort that! Congrats the ride man!
Very well done you worked hard and rode brilliantly
This is some of the craziest biking I've ever seen, but it looks like so much fun. I wish that we had this around when I was a kid, I definitely would've loved to had done this at least 1 in my life. But I gotta say that these guys definitely got a lot of balls to do this it looks like it takes a ton of stamina, concentration, and definitely preparation just to even attempt something of this magnitude.
You are an extreme athlete! I burned calories just watching this. Great video!
Impressionnant! Bravo 💪🏼
That was exhilarating!!!!
Good show my friend!!! BRAVO!!!
Man . . . When i watch this im just like one little mistake flying through those trees and thats a broken limb for sure . . . Props to you my man absolutly killing it !
Good job, Brother. That looked brutal...
Great content. Looks like a very demanding race. That lorry though😅...
well done buddy,looked crazy
💪 Great run! You need a bigger chainring next year 😅! I’m on a 34. Last year I even used a 36. Perfect for the fast sections. The same for Alpe d’Huez.
Defo! 34 would be what I was thinking - thanks for your advice man ✌️
To me it seems like each decision, each calculation, and each turn can have a good outcome or a very deadly outcome. Huge respect to all of the riders who participate in such events. Takes a lot more than steel nerves alone.
Thank you for sharing your suffering with us. I feel for you, but appreciate it as I will never be able to ride or see those beautiful places
Omg you're incredible!! ❤
This is absolutely nuts. Rode straffpeffer once, seemed like a lovely flowing bit of single track compared to this. Well done mate!
I had a friend from Reunion teach me how to cook curry from the isle. Chicken and tomatoes, flavoured with chili, ginger, garlic, turmeric, smoked bacon and thyme. Bloody lovely, you deserve a very large bowl I think 🥘
This is the BEST
Dang it dude, in the first 15 minutes, I fell out of my chair 4 times watching this on full screen. . . Good video.
That 12 minute section was nuts! More like speeder bike racing in Return of The Jedi! 😂
That was insane. I had to go and lie down afterwards to recover from just watching.
Dude that was sick.
This is awesome! Allez!
goo one buddy well done what a blast
Good ride good video.URTHE MAN!!!!
The conditioning for this has to be on par or beyond that of a professional boxer. Simply amazing.
After seeing this, my life ain't worth a shit. I do biking but this is on whole another level.🔥 By the way shamelessly watching it laying on my couch.
Bravo ! Le format "inside" et les commentaires sont excellents 🤩 Belle publicité pour mon île...
Oui !! Exactemont !!
INCREDIBLE.😱 UNBELIEVABLE. 😱Absolute Skill & Fitness .😎 Your athleticism & commitment to this sport is undeniable.🧐. Bloody frightening is all I can say for you and all the other participants.😱. Love every second of it❤ but oh so frightening 😱. Ive only watched the - 😮MEGAVALANCE DOWN HILL RUNS😲 prior to this .....But 😯...🧐This was on a whole different level🧐. Thankyou letting as mere Old Dinasaur Mortals🥺 ride with you🙏 to enjoy and appreciate the fearless💪 discipline👀 you display.😎(So scary)
21:45 Speeder bikes on the moon of Endor vibes kicked in here. 😄🚴♂🌘
I can't believe i actually just watched all 45 minutes off this
i watched 20 mins earlier got to say well done that looks tough and well done
That was intense😨! I would have been clotheslined or faceplanted so many times ago!😵
thats a dens forest, about 25 min in! good job mate, nice riding!
"my heart rate is increasing" i wouldve been gassed out by then xD !
Rider ahead of you at 13:01 stopped to let you pass. Good sportsmanship
