Could You Survive MTB's CRAZIEST Downhill Race? - Megavalanche 2024

I'm back in Alpe d Huez for everyones favourite mass start downhill race the Megavalanche! a 21km race of pure madness with 1500 people all starting at the top of the mountain at 3300m and ending at the lake at the bottom! This is my second race to join me as I guide you through some tips and essential how to's so you can tackle the mega yourself! Enjoy! Filmed on Gopro Hero 12 camera

Best megavalanche vid I’ve seen this year 🤘🏻🤙🏻

[@SamReynolds26]

Cheers!!

[@RavemasterX]

I love the fact that this isn't your speciality at all but you can get amongst it just by being an awesome rider! Anyway I've just had the email that the main race is going from the top of the quali again. The banter potential is enormous. Get in there and cause some chaos eh!

[@franzgars157]

[@jokermtb]

Well earned beers all around

[@lostwithasmile485]

[@shamsta21]

[@SamReynolds26]

[@freeridemtbauz]

Nice vid Sam, nice n chill commentary, looks like you guys are living the dream 😀

[@SamReynolds26]

Yeah totally loving the dream man it’s the best! Except the arm pump…

[@jn1083]

I like Whistler but there is just something special about the European alps. Great vid, Sam.

[@SamReynolds26]

Yeah I agree! They’re just epic

[@jackschrader851]

12:04 this battling aspect is the only thing keeping me doing xc races regularly, it’s an absolute blast. Would be insane to have that in a downhill race.

[@erikanderson603]

Fantastic video! Voice-over work was on point too

[@jeremye9963]

great video Sam, good luck on race day!

[@SamReynolds26]

Thanks man!

[@rutlandcitybikes9729]

Loved the way you gave an overall of what that race is and what has to be done!! Thanks Sam! Curious to see how your run goes!?!?!?

[@craigsteele8178]

SICK!!...Ive got to do that race as one of my "Go to do" achievements. Great footage and narration. Looks like a blast to ride and challenge yourself against plenty of good riders. Good luck!..

[@SamReynolds26]

You gotta do it one day!

[@stirfrybry1]

Back in the 90s a little hill in woodbury Ct used to allow me to carry my bike up the lift and snow ride. I brought some pro riders up there one time and it was so fun to watch. Todd Bosch was throwing shralps on berms at speed so slow it was hilarious. Just finding the edge of grip

[@MichaelAverycarhauler1969]

That looks like mad fun!

[@joaoesdevao461]

did it 9 times,just amazing,good luck for the Final

[@SamReynolds26]

Haha no way! Thanks man

[@_gaming_7845]

Might have been a bit over the top 😂😂

[@MrPyromanic1]

​@@SamReynolds26 Nah, she shouldn't be on the race track

[@daemn42]

I'd have paid money to see what happened when the the rest of the heat started overtaking her em-mass.

[@SecretSpots]

@@SamReynolds26 🤣🤣 Not at all! Some people need to wake up, considering there were many more riders flying down from behind you she was about that encounter much more of the same real soon 😎

[@SamReynolds26]

Megavalanche is an emotional time, at the bottom some guys just need to sit on each others laps 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

[@springbay1]

Good luck in the main race

[@boogiedownbronx73]

[@Guildforsucks]

Horrendous music at the start= huge hit in the 90ies lol

[@SamReynolds26]

😂😂 i think it’s more horrendous because you know what it means… seconds before the most hectic moments ever
