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.
@@wolfpack_adventures your overtake was more logical, there was a vehicle on the other side of the road, and you needed the momentum. He's overtake was stupid, the road was clear, but he chose to overtake where there was little space, and did it silently, such situations often result in a crash, in case of contact. you're in your safe spot mentally, not expecting contact due to the open space on the other side....... lovely video. love the subs
@@ImTheSeagull Nah, watch it back. He was riding in the center, buddy started his overtake and then wolf starts drifting left, sees buddy passing and doesn't give room and in fact came into HIS line. Like wolf said, the road is 8 feet wide, so why wouldn't wolf move to his right(or stay center) while buddy is already on the inside line. Maintain your line. Also, several minutes prior wolf complained about someone drifting off-line while he was trying to pass in the exact same way.
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.
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.
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.❤❤❤
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.
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.
Im a 12 year old kid sitting here watching ur videos. I wanna make mountain biking my life goal when i grow up, as for right now i ride small traills and jumps in my locan tracks. Thanks for ur amazing videos u inspired me a lot! Keep up the great work 💪
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.
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!
I am recovering from heavy motorbike accident which happened 6 weeks ago. Now I am training with stationary bike and I found this amazing ride. I am enjoying to train and watch you riding this wild downhill competition. Really feels like I am on the track!!! Thank you and keep on riding!! Greetings from Bali, Indonesia.
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!
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!!
here's a tip: don't speed up the clips of long boring segments of road drifting; it may seem boring to you, but speeding things up like this takes away from the realism and believability of the video. people want to experience the raw race from start to finish in real time
I agree. I like watching it in real time. And if I ever for some reason wish it was sped up, I just fast forward myself. I prefer the option to watch it real time overall though.
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
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.👊🏼
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.
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!!
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.
Love the camera angle showing the handlebars and we can even see when you're peddling. I hope you always keep this camera angle, it's truly exciting. It's the closest to feeling like I'm riding the bike myself. I can feel the tension all the way. Also, the wide angle lens seems superior to most I've seen, but I'm not an experienced videographer.
I just watched a 45 min mountain bike video…loved every second…knew I was in till the end within moments. I caught myself leaning with you. Ever thought about editing in some real time kph? Would also be cool to see a rear view every now and then when battling for position. Those pulling/leaving shots look dope to boot. Just an idea. Awesome
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 :)
I was glued from start to finish - I was praying you would win. Thank you for sharing this adrenaline-fuelled agony adventure. I could not read your headers as I was enthralled in your video. I only wish you had used subtitles instead so I could have read them whilst you raced.
love the story your describing to us on your journey made me feel like i was right there with u keep up the awesome videos all the best never give up :)
I love your video. Thanks for not cutting it short. Good cleaning time. You never forget thats cool. I wish you can have a camera looking back. That would be awesome 🎉. Thanks again
First time seeing this race. Watched tons of videos of the megavalanche where they start on the glacier and launch themselves down the mountain, used to think they were crazy! After watching this I realized they're only mildly mental and everyone in this race is completely insane! LOL. I ducked under so many trees and branches sitting here at my computer watching this. lmao. Side note: incredible save after shoulder checking that tree at 70mph(obvious exaggeration to the people that are compelled to state the obvious)! I thought you were going down HARD and you pulled it back under control.
💪 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.
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.
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 !
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
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.
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.
This is insane! there's parts were everyone's super competitive then all of sudden everyone's looking out for each other not trying to crash into trees haha
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 🥘
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)
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.
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

I agree
Kilian Bron did this in Megavalanche Alpe d’Huez 2022 and 2023.
@@padmeamidala4883well all his videos nowadays
Except they were headers not subtitles and I found them difficult to read AND follow the face at the same time. I guess I can’t multi-task :-(
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.
Indeed.
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

Had the privilege of living here for 2 years in my early 20s. Absolutely gorgeous place. Highly recommend visiting.
same i noticed that aswell in that exact part of the video lol
Just there now, look unreal.
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
😂😂😂 so true
Same haha

I’m 13 now.. what can I say time flies
Absolutely insane. For awhile I had it on 2X speed and I feared for my own life.
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
@@Garbagi Who gives a shit? This is insane!
@@wolfpack_adventuresStarting in 60th position and ending the race 21st is pretty darn impressive 👍
Probably one of the best DH vids out there for pure enjoyment. Thanks for posting this up!

I agree. I like watching it in real time. And if I ever for some reason wish it was sped up, I just fast forward myself. I prefer the option to watch it real time overall though.
I agree, I need a section to catch my breath
Also try timing,speed next time it all helps.

Wow. Amazing endurance! I need a three day rest period, and I watched from a kitchen counter! Great job!
That was insane. What a pleasure it was to go on that ride with you! I was pushing you on every with every pedal!
Awesome footage, and a great performance by you!
Wow. I loved this. It felt like I was riding but I was in bed taking it all in. What an amazing sport you do. Well done.
Pure crazy , so difficult and tricky . That bike sure can take a beating . Well done mate , insane racing
Captions added an extra element, but I wish you cleaned the camera lens more often ;)

Defo! 34 would be what I was thinking - thanks for your advice man ✌️
I can feel my body clenching and muscles tightening every time something happens. Which is like the whole time lol 😂
Once I raced in a very slippery road, almost zero friction and got first place. God rewarded me with a life.
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.
Alla ni som kör, ni är fantastiska, särskilt du med kameran som ger mig o oss denna resa, Tack
WoW! Kudos Bro......1st saw this 4 years ago! Absolutely crazy brilliant race.
amazing, truly amazing ride !!! love the camera at chest level, awesome views.
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 !
This is absolutely nuts. Rode straffpeffer once, seemed like a lovely flowing bit of single track compared to this. Well done mate!
That was insane! Thanks for the Rush!!
Glad you enjoyed it - hope I didn’t scare you too much 😅

that wheelie was bada$$ dude!!🔥💯Didn't see it coming at all lol

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!
Dang it dude, in the first 15 minutes, I fell out of my chair 4 times watching this on full screen. . . Good video.
WooooHoooooo!!! you are crazy bro!! well done! AWESOME RACE YOU DID!🎉🎉🎉🏆🏆🏆🎆🎇🎊🚴☁☁☁☁☁
Great vid. Would be good to have another vid running through bike and gear set up. In particular I'm wondering what tyres you are running?
It’s in the pipeline! Stay tuned ❤️
Bravo ! Le format "inside" et les commentaires sont excellents 🤩 Belle publicité pour mon île...
Oui !! Exactemont !!
I watched from the beginning untill it finished.
Good job bro. You did it very successful. 🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️
This is insane! there's parts were everyone's super competitive then all of sudden everyone's looking out for each other not trying to crash into trees haha
😎🙌 just amazing , thanks for that video bro! 🤟

You are an extreme athlete! I burned calories just watching this. Great video!
Congratulations man, nice racing !!

That was awesome! Great video!
Good job on getting 21st place and i wish u luck on ur next race!

Sweet race, thanks for sharing!

What a watch Alex how you kept that together in places I dnt know well done very entertaining 👌👏👏
Utterly brilliant rase mate I really enjoyed it I was on board with you all the way dude 👍🏽 🇬🇧
The conditioning for this has to be on par or beyond that of a professional boxer. Simply amazing.
Crazy, I feel tiered just having watched it! I can't imagine doing that! :D
That is so scary going threw the trees!!! Keep up your videos!
Fun race, thanks for posting!
