great ride, great music, great weather, big thumbs up.

In seeing this year, it is the highest. BEST!!!

@bomberbolton: Thanks for the compliments - and for raising a new topic: Shoe-pedal related questions had not been asked yet ;-) Since I'm used to clipless pedals for almost 20 years, I prefer those in combo with carbon-sole raceshoes. I feel safer and like contact points to the bike being stiff and precise. Just personal preference. Tyres: I've never experienced punctures when running on 2.5 Minion DH F tyres, the rear one with Stan's. Still, a precise line choice is key! CU

ok, found it!!! it IS by professor kliq, and its called "ashes" im soooooo happy :) fianlly found it :D

This race is epic! Wow!

Yesssssss! You got it! ;-))) All the best!

Благодарю вас за хорошее видео!

So cool how you start in the snow and eventually enter the forest

Thanks for the the reply ! Have some fast and happy descends for the future ma man !

Hi congratulations for your race. I have enjoyed with it.

Great vid and very educational for me, a prospective racer on my Remedy in 2012. The trail from 7:50 onwards looks so sweet! d:)

Wow, the slalom through the trees at high speed (for a mountain bike) would've stopped me!!

Oh, you came so close to catching back up to Cow Suit Guy!

I have GOT to ride a Megavalanche before I die...

hahaha that guy in the bush who keeps falling over, what a laugh

@RudyRoiz: Interesting question... ...just out of my head, it's about 80EUR entry fee including all costs for lifts and gondolas. 5 days in a 4-bed appartment will account for around 400EUR. The costs for getting there and back depending on the place you live - and not to forget food, drinks and spare parts for your bikes ;-)

cooles video hammer muss auch fahren

MUITO foda meu sonho de pedal pqp incrivelll a variação de terreno lugares paisagens...

Love the sketchy pass at around 12:00 and the result he got. ROTFL!!!

omg i wanna do this! SO BADLY!

LOL I was laughing so hard right there !!!

@rchewdy wow clipless on that at the top must have been mental! some nice line choices there too!

Insgesamt.. eine Stunde lange abfahrt?? Einfach nur Geil!!! Da muss man einfach selber dabei gewessen sein ODER?

loved the section starting around 8:00

@rchewdy Thanks very much Bro, hopefully I'll see you there.

@J0s3eCZ thanks :) couldn't have done it with out rchewdy! he told me it was by professor kilq, i just did some searching :)

@TheAcmerider: Oh yes - from one ear to the other. A good lesson in "You shouldn't start something you can't finish".

Model 901 from Liteville (just google it), it's a light DH bike. But a 160mm All Mountain is fine for the main race.

12:00 Look at Mr. Fast Balls trying to speed ahead, look how that turned out for him. Lol

Professor Kliq - Ashes

c bon sa trés bonne video et bon rider aussi

fantastic videos, im hooked on this race, hopefully one day I will take part! Sorry if this has already been covered but what pedals/shoes do you use or reccomend for this. Also what tyres do you use for it, and stupid question but what about punctures? do you carry inner tubes or that foam stuff? many thanks, dan

@MrChris8wright: It's "Ashes" from Professor Kliq. Please don't ask me where I got it from - look in earlier posts, someone may help you out.

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

Amazing, looks so cool, great trail,great riding ma man, bit by bit u caught dem all ! Wish I was there, wish I would ever be someday... Does anyone know the exact place in France for the 2012 Avalanche event ?

many thanks, ive only riden general off road a XC, and never tried the clip pedals so for me the jury is still out, seem to see a fair few crashes (low speed) due to not being able to get the foot out quick enough! but as you say down to preference, would you say most downhill riders ride clipless then?

Феерично! Не могу молча завидовать.) А где 4-я часть?

8:20 amazing

I think it's time to build an AM rig and start training for this!

Hey congrats Bro! awesome ride & place, if a mere mortal like us would like to do it, what would be the overall cost for a quest like the "Megavalnche"? Thanks

How long was this trail/race??? awesome video mate...

It's always in Alpe d'Huez / France. Just google "Megavalanche".

lol @ 12.07, music is getting better!

I wonder what is the top speed competitors reach

the only way this video could be better is if he was in first place so we could see how fast that dude was going

Hilarious how dude just goes kamikaze at 11:59. LULZ

@Kinmofo It is a remix of Winter from Kathbert (Kuthbert) I was trying to find it for weeks now, still unsuccesfully. Maybe rchewdy can help ;)

@SL1DE5TER: Well, as there are not that many 29er with 200mm of travel around, I did not have the choice ;-) But riding a 29er in front might have advantages in terms of rolling over bumps and improved traction for braking and cornering... ...let's see how the industry develops.

Amazing ride! Gonna do this after I finish school^^ Btw, whats the name of the track at 8:10? Biker Grüße aus Deutschland :)

I'm looking at a GT Force or Mongoose Khyber Elite. Any thoughts on those two?

@Kinmofo I love you! :D

and YOU CAN SKI THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

en que lugar quedaste o cual fue tu posicion final?

A bit more the 20km and 2'500m vertical.

12:05 kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

apparently its by "Professor Kliq" rchewdy told me, but he can not remember the name of the song... time to get searching :P

11:20 goes fucking intense

More Haste less Speed at 12.00 please tell me you smiled when he came off

What tyres did you use for the race last year?

12:00 GET OUT THE WAY zooms past rchewdy, (Slides... bumps into other dude, falls into bush) hahaha, fail.

ou and how much over?

12:00 haha teaches him for passing you!

LOL @ the azz wipe @ 12:00.

12:22 SHIT GETS LIFE THREATENING

what bicke you use scot santacruz gt?

7:48 shit gets real

Столько сошедших с дистанции! Все с пробитыми колёсами?

@7:30 turbo engage!

10:00 shit gets insane

what is the music from 8:20 onwards?

@SL1DE5TER: Well, define "Very Skillful" ;-) You definitely should have some "above-average" bike-handling skills to enjoy. But the trail itself is, besides some short sections, not that tricky. It's the crowd, the speed and the sheer lenght what makes things different. Give it a try, then you know ;-)

WOW!! you are best BIKER!! and wery pls name song on 8:15 plss

is it in July?

what place did you get?

12:00 Hahahahahahaha

Rigid frames aren't the ones to get to do this enduro-downhillish kinds of routes. 120mm full suspension is enought and 160mm is plenty.

Well I think that we are glad to know that karma got him = )

12:00 Everyone gets what he deserves! =p

12:04 Karma is a bitch.

12:06 That guy is drunk or what? xd

fuckin 2500m vertical ? where did you start at base camp on 5000 under mount everest :)

He seemed to be carrying much more speed than the guys in front. If the second guy wasn't holding him up after the pass he would have been gone. Slow riders should let faster riders by on single track.
