Haven't seen this video in some time but it's still epic. What a ride! Kudos

For me, it's one of the best videos. I often watch Megavalanche videos. And this video is probably the best and first of all due to the fact that you don't start from the first rows and cool music selection, which creates the right mood to watch. @rchewdy Thank you so much for your hard work and creativity!

Great videos, great to see the entire descent as I plan to race next year and it gives me a good idea of what to expect. Thanks.

11:01 - "Here, take it! I don't need it anymore!"

This is wonderrrrful animation. The meaning of athlete has been understood for the first time. From Japan

Love this video man! Awesome effort. Hoping to get on Megavalanche next year!

Awesome. You chose some good lines at the start to avoid trouble spots and bottlenecks. Looks like an awesome race to do. I normally do XC, but I would love to try this race for sure.

That looks like the most insane, fun free-for-all ever. I must some day do this.

probably one of the best OMG videos iv seen. pure adrenaline!!

the biggest fun I've ever seen pal. I'll be there in the next year. :))))) huuuuge!!

@duffyirebel: The aluminum adapter is mounted to the helmet with zip-ties, the cam to the adapter with the pads provided. Everything a bit padded with soft rubber foam to eliminate vibrations. Still potential to be optimized, but is does the job.

Great video and impressive DH skills. I had fun watching the guy in the blue and white shirt charge ahead and then eat it a few times until he broke down on the right. I'll be looking for him to show up again sometime in the next three segments.

this race is legen... wait for it... dary. good footage, smooth riding, well done

must of watched this 30 times,,great riding !!! wish i were young again

Just like to say how much I love this video. I did mega last year and it brings back so many good memories. Made lots of friends,and would say to anyone thinking of taking part in the race" DO IT"..... It's brilliant. Of to Morzine this year but will be back next year.OH YEAH rchewdy there are parts of the race you are riding that bike like you are being chased by the police, great stuff

I had no idea that races like this exist. It seems so fun.

funny beginning with people sliding out. looks like so much funnnn. nice video.

despite being 2011, still love the music and this video!

This has to be the most F%&K up race ever! I could not stop watching the video. I give you lots of credit for entering this race......Amazing!!!!!!!

This has made my bucket list...!

Watched this about 4 times now. Never gets old. One day it'll be me.... One day

amazing view to an amazing place. This is fantastic :)

LOOKS AMAZING! :D!

Great music choice and great video. It makes me wanna ride my bike :D

This is madness!

Ive competed the last two years, and because of mechanicals, i've ended up in Mega Affinity 1. Looking at this start, I think I was better off! Going back this year and I cannot wait!!

THIS IS FRICKIN AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

beautiful environment looks like a hellva great ride

@kentaryou1234: The camera is a GoPro HD, mounted to the full-face helmet in front of the chin. As far as I know, the race is open to anyone over 15 years old - you can find the detailed information on the Megavalanche website. Good luck!

Bedlam!!! just how racing should be!!!! Love it!! Seriously thinking of entering this next year!.....

haste schun recht, kann mir nur i.wie nich vorstellen dass das so richtig spass macht andauernt abzusteigen, zu schiebn un immer auf den vor dir zu gucken damit du dem nich auffährst =) un der start war jawohl richtig übel =D

Must have been an awesome race to ride. NICE! you're really good ^^ And i couldn't stop laughing at the start XD

Complete clusterfuck start! That would be crazily frustrating, you handled it well. It was really crowded until the ice slope around 7:05 thinned the herd a little.

I love that guy in the cow suit!

Would love to give this a go. Great job. LOOKS LIKE MAYHEM!

Holly cow! that was just insane...

Wow!! I wish I can join the race in 2012 or 2013. Looks awsome!

Awsome video man

bellissimo!!!!! siete fantastici :)

I wanna do that some day, that looks awesome man

Awesome video so far..Onto Part 2.

Man that first bit through the snow and the crazy steep rock section looked shit as, but as soon as it opened up into the fast single track bit - awww yeah!

cant believe i just watched all this :LL mint vid :D

Learning by doing... ...for more than 20 years now, mainly in Switzerland, where I live.

The first song is so awesome. It sounds really old school to me.

looks like fun!

The cow suit is awesome.

So beautiful places ;)

Very impressive. Much faster than i was!!

Fantastico!!!!

@pgq8610: Tyres: The ones most of the crowd ride: Maxxis Minion 2.5 DH F supertacky. Hey - you guys have awesome trails, e.g. this Kilvey Hill Tech Trail looks like the perfect Megavalanche training track ;-) So see you in 2013!

Que buena carrera!

nice race for a crazy track :D

wow this is fun!

Oh - just read the description on Amazon "High quality, full colour photo sequences..." guess I'll pay for the delivery to France! Thanks for that - looks good

this is too dangerous but i want to try it someday :) nice vid

@rchewdy Nice one - thanks. Also when is the registration date each year?

Geiles Video mann!! Habe mir schon mehrere Videos des Megavalanche angeschaut, gibt es eigentlich die Möglichtkeit das ganze einfach mal so zu fahren, außerhalb von rennen? zb im sommer wenn die gletscher nicht ganz so vereist sind :D

@duffyirebel: A GoPro HD mounted to the mouthpiece of the fullface helmet (as can be seen in the first part of the qualification run). In my opinion superior to all other mounting options, as this comes very close to the natural view as being close to the eyes and symmetrical, is very stable due to the natural damping of the "head suspension", and points always into the direction your head moves.

This looks like alot of fun!!!!! How many times have you made this run? How did you train to prepare for it? Looking forward to more great videos:)

See description of "Megavalanche 2011 Top Race (Part 1 of 4)". Cheers.

Gnarly dude!

MUITO SHOW........................FANTÁSTICO

My dream is to make this race

so want to do this race, might do it next year before uni :D

@fetube1: Beginning of January - just check out the "avalanchecup" site frequently. See you in 2012!

great video=]

This seems more like a "Try not to die" contest than a race.

Very nice video and perfect music ! What song is that ? :)

ohhhhh yeahh good ride!!!

people like you are gonna love a tv series called House M.D. .. either that or you're taking sarcasm to a new level.

funny funny funny!!!!! love it! i wanna try!!!!

@fetube1: The ones most of the crowd ride: Maxxis Minion DHF 2.5 (2.0bar super tacky in front, 2.2bar 60shore in rear). Never experienced any punctures or other probs with those sneakers.

Really nice

This is the great footage Thanks for the post, are you helmet mount or chest mount !

this course looks like more of a pain in the ass than fun

@nickthenine: Premiere. Mainly cause being used to it - there are for sure many more programs out there, as you don't need that many fancy features to edit such vid.

Whoever came 1st in this race, deserves a million pound!

Hey mir gefällt das Video sehr ;) daher wollte ich mal fragen: wo war der Aufnamheplatzt? Und wird das Rennen jährlich ausgetragen? Bitte antworten

Awesomeness

What's your bike man ???? He looks so cooooooooool !!!!!! Like the race !!!!!
