Are you gay or what? Wholesome? It is a race pal...common decency and safety of others is a must, but wholesome? Ugh you absolute fanny. Also, did you see on board cams of every other competitor so you could rate them all seperately on your wholesome'omitor? Everything is"wholesome" these days. Wankers.
The camaraderie of this community is pretty dope, was fully on display in Killian Brons run this year as well. I can only imagine how fun it must be having drinks at the bar with these guys after a run like this.
Man... Your endurance, swiftness, bike-control and track awareness are absolutely impressive. And then you seem to be an amazing man and overall human being, too, being respectful and calm even in the adrenaline rush of the race. Sportsmanship can't get any better than this. Thanks so much for taking us on the ride! You didn't place first in the race, but surely with a lot of viewers.
I just did half of this with him on my exercise bike. Hardest I’ve worked out for years. I’m going to work up to all of it. I smile every time he says hello to the people. Im dodging every turn. Im riding faster past the cheering people. Thank you dude for making this. Just awesome.

If only everyone could be a bit more Ben. Proud to say I know this man and he’s not just an ambassador for mountain biking and Orange but he’s an ambassador for life.
9:23 Having a conversation while running a death course. Insane. Thanks for a great upload! 👍 15:56 "Bonjour!" 😄 17:32 Even got time to say good luck to rivals. Amazing.
I was one of the first few riders to do the original Red Bull trail at Coed-y-Brenin, many years ago - on a Gary Fisher hardtail with the then new V-brakes. I know it's nowhere near comparable to this epic ride, but this is what that felt like then. I'm 72 now and, in large part due to the injuries I collected doing this and other, possibly inadvisable things over many years, this is now what it feels like going to Tesco on my electric fatbike.
Damn i thought i had the only gary fisher in wales (cake3 late 90's) 😄. Fkd my spine somehow but im post surgery and this race is still on my to do list. One day. Hopefully with snow 😐
Want to see it even more terrifying? Watch part of it at double speed.🤪 Then of you want to see how I used to ride when I was younger, watch it at half speed!😅
@@benmooreracing du hattest definitiv den ersten Platz weil es war keiner mehr vor dir und wo sollen anderen vier auf einmal herkommen das waren Betrüger👎👎 die nicht von ganz oben angefangen haben sondern von unten irgendwo aber du bist der wirkliche 1. Platz gewesen👌👍
Bro, when that guy passed you at 2:08 I'm surprised we didn't hear a sonic boom from the breaking of the sound barrier Anyway, a good race and good video, sir pleasure to watch it
I love this man's attitude! Just because you're in a race doesn't mean you have to be rude! Competitiveness is too often used as a mask for cruel behavior and I'm so glad to see Ben call other competitors out on it and always pass with composure, grace, and friendliness. That's true sporstmanship!
@@benmooreracing Job well done on 5th place as well! I'm new to watching these sorts of bike races and I've thoroughly enjoyed your video! Consider me a subscriber!
I think I got a digital contact high from all that adrenaline. WOW Weee what a ride! Thanks for taking us with you and keeping our lens clean at the same time. You get 1st place in thoughtfulness! 🥇
Great video. I just stumbled upon this. Had never heard of Megavalanche before. This is insane. The coordination and stamina are unreal. Kudos to you Ben. You are an amazing athlete.
When I saw you climb the big hill I said WAIT A SECOND, then went to read the comments about being an e-bike. I've never ridden one myself, but they're life-changing on those hills! Phenomenal ride man, thanks for taking us along.
Literally the best thing I ever bought, including motorcycles and cars. I suppose a car is awesome on a rainy day but for fun and ebike kills everything.
I've watched a few other rider's uploads of the Megavalanche, like Killian Bron, and the amount of talent you guys have on a bike is just amazing. I can only imagine the hours of training and practice it takes to get to this level.
Excellent riding! I would have ate it on the first rocky section with the lines you took. Great single tracks. Hung up the bike in 95, but this brought me back. Thanks for the great video without distracting music. Beautiful day and awesome riding.
I think I was 16 mins in before I realised you were on an e-bike! Awesome to see one competing at this level. As for your attitude and approach to the race - happy, polite and enthusiastic - epic example of what Mountain biking should be. Kudos to you 👏
one of the reasons i love mtbing is the friendliness of the riders. used to race in teams in 24hr enduro's and if you were pulled over catching your breath pretty much everyones first comment would be you alright mate.
Great job! I have never seen anything like this race. But once I started watching, like you, I could not stop. 😊 I admire your strength, concentration and stamina. Congratulations!
No clue what this race is but it’s popped up in my recommended feed for the past two years whenever a new one is completed and I must say it’s one of the most entertaining and enjoying bike videos I’ve watched
its been some time but only just saw it. great run and i like the way you do not take yourselff so seriously and are just a very nice human being. thanks for the great video
Stunning. Absolutley brillian! I had no idea that human beings could have the strength, reflexes, mental acuity, or hands-down insantity to do something as marvelous as this. Bravo.
Awesome riding and breathtaking photography! It was amazing to watch you navigate that mountain! Your courtesy is something everyone should pay attention to! 👍👍
Estoy tan alucinado con este vídeo que no tengo palabras ,un fenómeno absoluto en la bicicleta y los chicos que graban con el son maravillosos menudo equipo , mereces lo que estas consiguiendo y más
😂What a jolly extreme downhill mountain biker you are, casually saying hello and thankyou to spectators along the way (very unexpected) that's awesome, good for you mate!..I really enjoyed the video.
Are you insane, what a start..... It's absolutely the BEST drive I've seen on Megavalance, and you just have a super cool attitude to all those crazy people who shout and scream - I wish you all the best for 2023!!!!
I love it when Ben Moore just keeps himself and calm even behind other riders and know when to overtake the riders, now that's a riders not like the guy who kept on shouting and was not fast enough.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I really need to say this. Thanks for always Wiping your camera for us Bro And great Driving im really amaze how you control. That bike. In. Fast rocky roads. If i were that id be flying like 5 meters. In the air and hurt myself
class, great race, you were unstoppable, and who (by last name) was ahead of you at the finish? how good is the first part, when you see the mountains and the sky, and distant horizons, so hard is the work in the dark forest
This is so Cool! The difference between those that know what they are doing and those that have no business being there. I’d like to buy you a beer, you have guts brother! 🍻
The camera does make it look really sketchy in places and the trail seems to disappear at times but overall the video was awesome. Proper mountain biking.
@@bjorntoulouse9080 Are these ebikes faster or slower than normal bikes on this run? I would think it's harder to control more weight on technical sections.
Awesome video and great riding by you. But I also wanna shout out to your shadow. He struggled on the darker parts but when things were well-lit he was right there with you the whole time!
I don't know what it does for you but my heart rate went up significantly just watching. Too scary for this old man who once did many crazy things on a cheap bicycle.
I have no idea who this is, or anything about this event, this video just popped up, and it’s incredible. My husband and I were watching 3-5min extreme sport videos, and found many boring. But we’re 36 mins in and loving this!!!
The guy in first place is a freaking monster. I bet once he got away from everybody, he must’ve been super relaxed just knowing he didn’t have much to worry about.
That was so satisfying to watch I never took my eyes off the TV..dunno how you know where your going I would of definitely got lost on a few places and probably come off a few times 😂😂 fair play congratulations.
Hey... that was an amazing great moment in cam, on this perfect race, right ? I very like your clean style on bike, one of the best i've never see.. Congrats about your podium with your amazing clim, along 44 minutes. We salute you from France, keep safe Bro !!!
Great ride ben! I know this would be difficult to do but it would be great to have some kind of telemetry along the side of the screen like degree of incline, kilometers per hour, heart rate, stuff like that. Great run.
May not be the fastest competitor, but hands down the most wholesome and polite of them all. Great job, hope to see you take the medal next year.
Love your words mate, thank you!
