The fact that he's able to narrate while he rides is amazing. You have to be at your top peak physically to do that.

Nice to see the sportsmanship here, there's no anger at other competitors because they were faster, just congratulations and admiration for each other.

Dude, mad respect. That's one of the craziest things I've ever seen. I lost count of all the places where you could have died. Awesome.

I got this randomly recommended on KZread, and I was mesmerized by the landscape beauty, I literally couldn't stop watching, I can't believe I watched the entire race nonstop. That was as amazing. Great video indeed

Thanks damien for sharing this run,

These races always trigger the KZread algorithm 😂

We all need that one friend at

We all need a Vincent in our lives, that sort of energy can make you feel like you can do anything. This is my third Owlaps video today after finding this channel. LOVE it!

This is the longest KZread video I've ever watched all the way through. It was exciting the entire time. The athleticism demonstrated in this video is incredible.

Damien - you are an incredible athlete, commentator and quick thinker. You also appear to be a great friend to everyone. Thank you for the incredible videos and please be careful!

I can't say enough good things about this. Congrats to all finishers (yes, and also to those who could not finish). I'm an old man now, but I think I've never had as harrowing a visual experience as this one. I caught my breath every time Damien Desbosses had to adjust his goggles! Still . . . what an experience just to witness this from the safety of my home in Salt Lake City! Many, many thanks.

One of the most absorbing and exhilarating videos I’ve watched. Fantastic. I’m 58. I need to go buy a mountain bike now 👍🏻

Really appreciate the narration and the English Translation. Such an Epic Event.

Love the comradery between the riders.

What a great ride. A great inspiration. So many moments of support from spectators and riders. I imagine no matter where you finish, you feel great at the bottom.

"i'm all alone, it's hard mentally"... I know the feeling but it's so satisfying when you reach the end by yourself.

Великолепно!

Breath, man, breath. The dark, muddy forest was insane. Can't believe how long this course was!

Kudos to the people who make these bikes, rides like this must really hard on the bikes and I can't imagine the pain riders would feel if a wheel comes flying off.

Holy shit!!! THAT is one of the best racing-videos I have EVER seen!!! I'm exhausted just watching this video. :D This is the kind of racing I was dreaming about, when I was young. Keep up the good work.
