Attempting to Overtake EVERYONE in this Crazy Race

[@TMM6944]

When you lost 4th place, (which you regained) to that fellow competitor, it gave a real perspective of the speed and corners. Absolutely amazing.

[@a.barker7792]

That dude was a true descender. This dude had heart and could climb. Marvelous, and on a Huffy. From Walmart.

My respect for 1st, 2nd, 3rd place grew astronomically after seeing your effort for a 4th place.

[@onoybeuh]

mostly because he was trapped behind some slow mfs in the beginning so no chance to catch up

[@lordlopikong6940]

​@@onoybeuhthat's exactly the things that makes 1st,2nd and 3rd place so hard to get. Or any race in general. You think the 1st placer didn't have any problems?

[@nightking4132]

@@lordlopikong6940 bruh based on the video perspective... the 1st 2nd and 3rd placer must be placed in the front row or mostly close to that... so obviously they will struggle less compared to the man in the video which is placed near the back row or middle row... His bike was top tier but he never saw the 1st, 2nd and 3rd which states that they probably were in the front row...

[@kaushikdr]

I was just thinking that they probably had a much better position than him, so to me their outcome doesn’t necessarily match the difficulty to get their position

[@TON-vz3pe]

@@kaushikdr We can't make such an assumption because we don't know how ahead 1st, 2nd, 3rd winners started. They might have put more effort and we must consider that possibility too

[@ReverZe83]

Never cared for downhill biking, never watched a race, never known anyone who does it, never thought coming across a random youtube video of a stranger doing this sport would be so enthralling. Wow!! Couldn't take my eyes off the screen for 10 minutes and 35 seconds. Bravo 🙏👌 I was rooting for you from the first pedal

[@oldsamsauce]

That was honestly incredible. Your endurance is crazy!

Nah it isn't - it's close to the shortest times that road cyclists race. Easy to spank the MTB guys on fitness.

[@kingdeano2540]

That was a fucking great performance Jono!!! The top 3 definitely didn't get bogged down in the crowd over the first 1/3 of the race like you did. EWS fitness, skills and experience really showing there! 💪

Going at that speed on rough terrain without loosing control and making sharp turns on gravel is absolutely incredible.

[@Desperate.Daniel.24-7]

Have loved cycling my whole life and a year back, got obsessed with long distance running but everytime I see mtb races, I'm always left wondering how insane it is to go that fast over a terrain like that. I get nervous just running over a small muddy section on paved roads lol. Can't imagine what it's like to cycle downhill a mountain. Nuts man, my utmost respect to you, and all the mtb riders and trail runners out there. Thank you for continuing to push the boudaries of what is possible everyday. Was feeling quite smug about my running streak count and weekly mileage lately, this humbled me real quick haha.

[@El-Tel63-Terry.]

Well done Jono, I was out my chair for you to get 4th back !! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Good luck for Sunday.

[@James-stone]

That had everything. Tension, excitement, the battle for 4th, and a soundtrack by Ivor the Engine. Awesome. Just what I needed for a Sunday evening. Thank you. 😁

[@johnnyclimax]

I broke my collarbone 4-5 times just watching

[@jonathan13co]

Bro these comments always get me in the first half 🤣

[@danilo352]

Staying focused while putting this much effort shows how tough you are mentally 👏🏼👏🏼

[@mauricebruns1028]

Holy moly; and it’s only the qualifier race. Impressive effort from back of the pack to 4th. Good luck for the main race.

[@ManWalksDogs]

ha yeah I forgot/didn't realise this was just the qualifier whilst he was pushing to make the podium & fighting to maintain/regain 4th - thought he'd just cut out huge chunks of course that I can remember from other Mega Valanche t-to-b race run footage from riders like Kilian Bron !

[@MrEtienne6657]

The qualifier race is shorter, tougher and almost more intense than the main race. In the main race you have to manage your efforts to make it to the end, when in the qualifier you'll be at 100% for the whole race

[@milosbabovic8221]

Omg, what has I just watched. The amount of energy, strenght, skill and balls is.. I don't have word/s for it..

[@suesheane3671]

Way to go Jono. Your endurance is incredible. Loved seeing you push on in this crazy race!

[@NR-rv8rz]

Dude the line you took at 2:26 was a bit of a shock. I thought you were going over the handlebars but it seemed to go surprisingly smoothly.

[@nicolesoukalova]

ditto! thought the same.

[@rarelycomments]

Amazing performance, that track is so much rougher and harder than it looks on camera.

I've fallen off about 30 times watching this... Respect

[@crumblenoob]

Seriously impressive Jono, stoked for Sunday!

[@Fuddifadu]

This the most mesmerising thing I have seen on youtube lately! Your will power is killer.

[@MarvinWestmaas]

Seeing your position improve step by step until 4th was epic, but the fact you were looking behind you pretty much all the time indicated you felt someone was close. Shame you couldn't catch up to those who had a clear run, but that battle for 4th was still pretty epic... ow you you're faster eh 👌👌

[@JM-ne4dr]

God that race is so sketchy😂

[@roamingranger007]

well done jono, great achievement, godspeed with you on the final’s

[@ivancastaneda9418]

Hell of a run. Mad respect for even getting 4th . That was awesome

[@ashleytombs]

Wow 4th even though Jono went back to 5th managed to find the energy to catch back up and overtake him slow and steady wins the race by the podium guys that’s out the window lol Massive respect to the lunatics that do this on HTS

[@EarthSurferUSA]

I used to work for Nuke Proof in the mid 90's when they were in Michigan USA. I am the guy who got the carbon fiber hubs to stop braking, and developed their first front hub for suspension forks when the owner was on vacation (still a skewer back then), called the "Atom Bomb". I made a "cut away" hub for the trade shows, and saw it on e-bay for sale for $100.00 a few years back. I still have my Ti. NK bike and it may be the most complete in existence today. Still in mint condition because I went back to dirt bikes. :)
