After tripping up on the snow I wasn't expecting you to have such an awesome run, I was wrong, Great riding and so respectful to the other riders, loved every minute, Thanks for the up-load!!
TH-cam offers on 2x speed. I downloaded the video and ran the video in a local player which gave me 4x. Even then it was boring to watch. I tried 8 and 12x as well to no avail.
Great video! This girl, who was filming, is a very cultured and well-mannered child:" Thank you, Merci, Sorry ....". Besides, she is always positive and smiles. Greetings from Ukraine!
It's a shame they don't get the same packed and prepared surface as the men. That'd be a totally different situation, they could ride the more solid ice track and people wouldn't make fun of them.
Thank you so much for inspiring and sharing the mtb fever. Louise Ferguson is such a lovely person and a talented athlete. My daughter (12) dreams of running Megavalanche, too, since she first watched your video.
Awesome race Louise, shame the e-biker interrupted the best megavalanche fight with pinky. Even better fight than Bron vs Borges IMO. Hope the Mega is back in 2021!
Watched the hole video, did enjoyed it a lot. Great ride and I liked you smiling at the snow section when you fell down. Congrats also being so polite, thanks for the video.
Absolutely great race Louise! Great footage! Lots of fun riding along with you in the video. I tip my hat to you and all the other female racers. What a ride! Wow!
:>) ok everyone knows the guys went first race, rutted up the track and that's why all the girls wiped out:>( but I can appreciate the hill butt slide with your bike that was a killer move and exciting, thanks for uploads all the best 2020 from Canada much respect. Live in the moment for that moment and Love life.
@@oooBASTIooo th-cam.com/video/4Y4kV3o6XHw/w-d-xo.html The surface is really only good for maybe the first 10 to 20 racers. Everyone else after that has to be extremely lucky not to fall/slide. Including later starts/races.
@@doubleT84 No, the people in the back of the field are simply not good enough to cope with the conditions... Same as the women. Just watch a race where someone good starts in the back.. Only reason good people will fall there is something happens directly in front of them. The video of the person you posted is from someone who did this race for the first time and probably never trained for the conditions.. If you want to see a good racer going down from the back, watch this: th-cam.com/video/n_7gkhSjSjY/w-d-xo.html
@oooBLATlooo The women didn’t start their run after the first men’s race, they started after the men’s ebikes. Those are 10 to 20kg heavier than regular bikes and would have churned up the snow something shocking. If you watched a full men’s race you’d see even the best riders got bogged down on the patches of soft snow lower down on the course.
This is super awesome. I'd love to try this race out for sure... nothing more fun than enduring something so physically difficult and actually making it to the finish.
Watch the girls and you realize, what lazy ass couch potatoes most of those nasty "critiques" here in the comment section are, down in their mommy's basement. (I'm not referring to you, 3V!)
I’m very impressed. They may have had an issue with the snow at the very beginning but when they got past that, they were fantastic. I wouldn’t do that in a million years.
The guy with the backpack? Not much of a gentleman was he? I think she would have got past the other girl if he hadn't held her up. Also the girl who fell right in front of her should have let her past. Obviously some riders are more polite than others.
Hats off to Louise Ferguson for a superb descent after the early falls on the slushy snow high up. It takes courage, skill, stamina and strength to get down Alpe d'Huez in one piece. Nice to see the cameraderie between the riders.
This action was hotter than the Battle of Endor. I see you challenging yourself to stay on the heels of a better rider. RESPECT. You're a better rider than I am.
This was one of the first Megavalanche videos I ever watched. Still one of my favorites. Gutsy ride and great batlle with the gal in pink. G'luck with your Downhill career
A precedent example of how to behave politely towards competitors and spectators. The main thing is to have fun and respect others. Fantastic race I enjoy watching.
cheered on you, felt the frustration when others drove slowly to not move fast enough, stood upright and clapped when you reached the finish line. respect
Really enjoyed being onboard for this run. You're powerful on the pedals - great on the flat and up hills. I don't know how you do it. Thanks for posting the video.
Fantastic run Louise, you were flying over those rocky drops. This was probably the only Megavalanche video I have seen without massive profanity spewed, however it probably would have been excused for that e-biker that wouldn't let you by. The guy starts 15 minutes before you and his ego won't let you pass. Most of the kids commenting here would cry if they actually experienced the steepness of that glacier. That Alpe d'Huez climb is a leg breaker.. those bikes that passed you were e-bikes. Pat yourself on the back that was an amazing run.
There’s no way I could continue this race. I’d be laughing to tears😂😂😂!!! It’s a lot of fun riding in the snow. I haven’t done it in a while, and forgot how much fun it can be!!! Go Ladies!!!
I'm not even racing, but my hand was shaking at the opening sequence. Can only imagine the adrenaline rush the riders must have, so close before the start of the race.
i was in it! that year and it doesnt come over on camera but that is SOOOO STEEP THEY SHOULD ALL BE PROUD VERY BRAVE GIRS AND BY THE THE WINNER BEAT MY TIME IN THE AMATEURS AND I WAS OFF LIKE FOOOK THE WHOLE TIME HAHAA LETS HOPE WE MANAGE A RACE THIS YEAR SEE YOU THERE!!! ALWAYS
Wow!! So exhilarating watching this!! Seen lots of the mountain alps bike races and thought it was so tough you’d never get women to do it! And now they have!! So they are as tough as the men!! And so polite letting each other pass!! I couldnt! Thanks Louise.
The two difference between the men's and women's race is the bad condition of the first snowy section, compared to the virgin track beaten by the Snowcat. Second, men are crazy and with many more broken bones!
The speed is also different. I doubt that even if the state of the snow will be the same, the speed will be, too. Men would go crazy the same, no matter the conditions.
@@evgeniydeus8137 Yeah, the difference in speed is due to the higher competitiveness in the mens race. There are several boys racing just as fast as the girls here but they obviously fall behind in the race.
Big difference haha. Watched the male variant and all of em where screaming when someone fell and got into their way. Here all of em Fall and laugh xD much more my style of a competition.
at around 52min..i was expecting. "GET THE FUCK OUTTA MY WAY !!!!" Great race, great downhill, and should impart a lot more respect to the guys out there that think it's easy.....
Wonderful trip going with you. You are awesome. I respect your courage to do this journy, and also your gentle way to ask free way to others eventhoug yuo are exhausted. Hope some day you let us know in a picture, who is that lady, so brave and kind at the same time. Thanks for sharing such a incredible trip. Greetings from Mexico city.
This video is a proof why woman live longer than man. It's a great run, don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be able to do it myself. Yet if you watch man riding this you see their attitude is "if I die, I die". Woman have more attitude of one thing I will not do is die. Thanks for upload, it was a pleasure to watch.
Excelente video, es impresionante esa carrera en bicicleta montaña, son muchos obstáculos que pasar, admiro a la participante de esa carrera por su tenacidad. Saludos desde Saltillo, Coahuila México.
I love how, even tho they are falling, they laugh and have fun :D
Yeah they guys growl when they fall
real treasure was the friends we made along the way
They laugh out of embarrassment about their own inability and then make "fun" of it afterwards.
@@outdoorolli5754 "fun"?
The start of this race made me laugh.
Me too hahaa everyone fell down
what will feminists and other women's rights activists say?))))
its embarrassing
😂😂😂
@@АлексейЕгоров-б9ъ6ъ ...another loser taking his virgin anger out on women lol
"Girls just wanna have fun" - this song comes to my mind, watching the first 7 minutes.

I’ve watched this 3 times now. Mesmerising. Well done! Wish I was 30 years younger.
I now learned two ways to conquer the Megavelanche: Bicycle and Butt.

3:38 they are sliding instead of riding, 🤣🤣
This made me laugh so much 🤣🤣
Great run , enjoyed it very much, love from Bangladesh 🖤
yeah like before the race some person could of waited till the first bikers arrive then snowboards down that slope lol.
So impressive. What a great racer! All my respect.
This is super awesome. I'd love to try this race out for sure... nothing more fun than enduring something so physically difficult and actually making it to the finish.
Beautiful race, congrats to that girl and every racer, really, really, really hard to complete
That was Great Fun ! ! !
Thanks for taking us along for the ride !
Watch the girls and you realise just how fast the boys are.
Watch the girl and see how utterly useless they are!
@@MrGentlebutfirm Now thats a perfect example of an incel comment LMAO
I laughed right from the start

She passed three dudes on E-Bikes @10:20 so talk about how fast the boys are all you want, even with batteries they got caught.
That was Excellent You’re helping a lot of people with their training💯
That 20 minute battle from @33:00 was so awesome. I just watched something incredible! Great job Louise, and nice sportswomanship!
Awesome Louise. I do believe you were faster than girl in pink. Racing the clock with an open course and you take her. Well run.
I’m very impressed. They may have had an issue with the snow at the very beginning but when they got past that, they were fantastic. I wouldn’t do that in a million years.
Great race with the rider in pink! Seemed like the other rider who got in between let her get away from you.
The guy with the backpack? Not much of a gentleman was he? I think she would have got past the other girl if he hadn't held her up. Also the girl who fell right in front of her should have let her past. Obviously some riders are more polite than others.

That was the funniest thing ever 😂😅😂
Some incredible wipeouts, and some great racing overall. Such a tough course, and the guts to take part in this mass start deserves props galore.
7th place overall & 4th in category is very good.
This is one i actually very much enjoyed watching the whole way through. Congrats, this stuff is really hard and u did good! :)
This was one of the first Megavalanche videos I ever watched. Still one of my favorites. Gutsy ride and great batlle with the gal in pink. G'luck with your Downhill career
You have more courtesy in race also, have enough time for sorry and thank you...congratulations for completing
the best part about having to the race the challenger was being able to see you ladies start :D xxx fairplay
they all killed it, awesome to see!

The main thing, I believe, is to win a race)
It is a race after all...
After watching this, i came to realise how crazy the men were in this race!
Exactly my thoughts. Props to the women for showing up to this event
Top comment imo.
Sections of that would be terrifyingly steep. Nice ride and nice video!
lmao, I love how the guys grunt and snarl but the ladys just giggle when they bail XD
because guys go much faster and falls really do hurt. also there are at least 3 times more men racing than women
Easily explained by the massive difference in speed. Cut out the soy, it's bad for you . . .
Depends on the heat -
Hat off, Louise, you've done really well.
Fantastic stuff, had me gripped all the way down .
cheered on you, felt the frustration when others drove slowly to not move fast enough, stood upright and clapped when you reached the finish line. respect
Well done young lady! This was a great ride👍
I'd like to see the winning run.
Great riding Louise!

Too nice to tell that guy at the end get the hell outta my way!! What a great ride..Brilliant 👏🤜💪
Great Work!!!! BRAVO!!!! I love watching this race its Awesome!!!!
Great ride - you are so polite!
Good to the the girls laughing after crashing.If that was the boys,they would be cursing and swearing!😂😂😂Great race though!
Seen the men go down this which is insane so 2 witness ladies giving this run everything is brilliant and fabulous.... Huge respect
There’s no way I could continue this race. I’d be laughing to tears😂😂😂!!! It’s a lot of fun riding in the snow. I haven’t done it in a while, and forgot how much fun it can be!!! Go Ladies!!!
5:26 quick stop to adjust hair and check eye liner. Yep all good :D
Very impressive how some are hammering up the hill. I guess i would die.
this video made laugh so much! the sliding through the snow was epic!!!!!
Go Girl Power!!
Look forward to Mixed Mega race!!

Admirable. I didn't like #2016 (I think) much though.. a bit rude not to return the favour of asking if her fellow rider was okay.
