  • On board with Sam Hill & his Mega 275c as he takes on the Megavalanche for the first time.
    A puncture In qualifying whilst leading lead him to started the main race mid pack. But some awesome overtaking ensued! (Some lines you win and some.. well even the champ makes errors- that line at the start!)
    2017 race was shortened due to high winds up top.
    Excuse any language as this is raw.

    When Sam finally passes that guy around 12:10 its like he's going into warp speed - unbelievable how quick the pros are

      The transformation is brilliant, ... entering another dimension. No stalling anymore, now it's flying.

      @Vovkq Před 5 lety +2

      It was a coincidence. The guy let him pass at a point where a straight steep track begins.

      YES! But it don't make too much sense to fall back 100 places at the beginning, than work so hard to better your position...

    This vid prouve that you can not win mega when you start far from top riders in terms of line. I raced it in the early 2000's. Was on the last line in qualies. Manage to qualify into finals but my starting line sucked again. This vid remind's me my own mega (apart the start from the glacier).

      Enduro bike. 150-180mm travel. Sam's Nukeproof is a 27.5" wheel, 165mm rear travel bike. versatile, decent climbing / ass kicking descending. you BMX guys comeover and immedietely crush at this stuff. limitless terrain on the big wheels and suspension with BMX skillset. join us bud !!
