Alex, your vids are the best MTB POV on TH-cam. So engaging, it actually feels like riding (only you are way faster). What an amazing place. Views, trails, weather... perfect.

[@jbell2184]

60 fps would make it so much more clear when he is going fast....

[@stgirat]

Wow, just wow, what trails!!! Excellent riding, had me at the edge of my seat the whole time!

[@sevenirises]

Your speed and timing are amazing. What a beautiful place to race.

[@aydogangunes3076]

A fascinating track that everyone dreams of. We thank you ^^

[@livingbymottos]

Loved every minute of this!

[@jorgenadanada8646]

This simply left me speachless!! WOOOOW!!

[@Caballodesenfrenado777]

You know, this all about landscapes and bike escapes

[@jamesbillingsby8043]

Unreal scenery, the mountains were giving me anxiety.

[@arizonad8012]

This is the most beautiful and the scariest trail I have ever saw. Great job. I loved every second of this adventure. Way to go. Cheers mate

[@MARK02118]

[@streetpigeonmtb]

[@Mr.Meepthebeep]

this looks so sick!

[@philn9205]

Sick riding. Sick trails. On my bucket list of places to ride ❤

[@Paulo-fr3xm]

Back there in the summer, can't wait now, brilliant place to ride 🤙

[@mariannejacot1668]

[@scottbutcher9093]

Awesome ❤

[@tip6398]

i have mad respect for enduro riders after my friend took me on a race with hik and finished a fair few mi it’s behind the winner 😂 i could not imagine doing this

[@vlweb3d]

8:50 - He should have yanked his bike out of the way
instead of slowly riding to the side.

[@built2jzlexus496]

Love it

[@naikjoyx4291]

this is intense :O

[@LaurisDinsbergs]

crazy

[@paulbent6579]

More research for my booking on the autumn 2024 edition 😬 I don't think I'll have to worry about crashing into anyone while overtaking them though 😂 I'm more likely to be on the receiving end 🤣

[@readytogo6569]

@ 28:14, What did he mean when he said you were “hulking”? ( I think that’s the word) Couldn’t find it from Google.

[@rainstorm_jo]

That would be 'hucking' per rehook dot bike: "It is often used to describe aggressive riding styles that involve taking large jumps, drops, and other daring stunts."

[@readytogo6569]

@@rainstorm_jo Thanks!

[@gi4nn354]

sick

[@franciscogarcia3006]

yesssss Portugal❤️❤️

[@kieranwhittemore1010]

30 STAGES!!! That is fucking nuts!

[@ob1keno227]

I fell three times just by looking at this.

[@harel2205]

What company is the gray bike with the orange at the end of the video?

[@MysticalPhotography]

At 14:49 I thought they were playing the song “dumb ways to die” 😂😭

[@kassandrahernandez4283]

Wow this is extremely thrilling ❤😊your so flawless like water😉

[@user-zr7dn9js9r]

You should put censors on the handle bars to see how close you are to the trees

[@russcoaus2043]

😎💯✌️

[@antr7493]

Great ride. I would have hit about 7 trees on the way down

[@user-gm2nc1sl5j]

What bike is that?

[@SilverbackOrangutan71]

30 Stages..WTF!!

[@rustynuts4426]

Are these open to the public?

[@nozzzzy]

What's the point of competing for individual times if they allow multiple riders on the track at the same time? People being in the way slowing you down just seems unfair.

[@danielewers1354]

With big enduro races where there is potentially 100+ riders, you have to run people in certain intervals to fit everyone in. Other wise it would take all day for just one stage. Everyone has a potential to come across others. So it’s more luck of you don’t catch up to someone

[@mariannejacot1668]

so youcompete against liam . he has already posted some videos, great island, diffcult tracks. good for you

[@5henhe]

I dont know. Video looks blurry

[@elusiveserenity]

How does anyone measure you when you're just kinda dropping in whenever, there doesn't seem to be any gates that could time it for you

[@juanmallafre3754]

I dont understand the point of going one at a time if your just going to slam into people on course. Him getting out of your way was obviously unsafe for him cuz he ate shit and unsafe for you cuz you stumbled over him and had a mild mechanical.

[@BalrogSlayer666]

goat of football call this little island home

[@rifter1000]

It'd be great to have the video as it is, without the 'spherical' effects.

[@Father_of_all_titans]
