@@ThisIsMego Exactly. I once recorded myself going down. I thought I was going fast enough to have a nice video. When I saw the footage of it I was laughing and crying at the same time - what the hell was I doing there, was I sleeping ? I blamed it on "gopro effect". After this video I know it's not that .. it's just I suck a bit more than I thought. :)
Even if only four-tenths of a second, I can't even comprehend how anyone could go downhill faster than that. It seems like something which is on the very edge of human capability.
thats whats impressive about peak-level anything is that they're pushing the potential of the human form in highly specialized tasks to it's absolute capacity. here its split second decision making, balance, bike handling, etc. Incredibly impressive. I get the same feeling when I watch people like Peter Sagan race, or two great football teams going against each other. As I've grown older I've really started to appreciate the masters at work while they're at work.
Unreal. It's the tiniest margins too, the racing is so tight and the performance levels so high. Troy (and Loic) are amongst the very best and most consistent racers out there, and with awesome personalities and tons of respect for their fellow racers.
Been cycling for over 10 years now, I still can't imagine myself going this fast on a trail like this. Hahahaha! I'd finish this course 8-10 minutes. No way I'd be going higher than 15km/h on a trail like that hahaha!
Be no means I’m a pro, or even close to be able to come alive down those rock gardens at a quarter of the speed, but while rewatching some of my videos, I realized, that it looks shakier, than it feels. The eyes are quiet good in focusing on the „important“ stuff and so much gets blurred out in these intense parts. Still I can’t wrap my head around, how it is possible to drive like this 😧
@Tec Malo I was wondering if the camera technology has advanced so much that it is now able to see the rock garden (at speed) better than the human eye. Re thinking my original question, I'm guessing Troy's focus is a long way down the track at that speed, and he wouldn't be picking up anything directly in front of him apart from possibly feeling a couple of the bigger rocks. I can't get my head around it either. Superhuman.
Awesome Run Troy. The real story here is how good your POV video is. This is one of the BEST pov videos that I have seen. It almost caputures perfectly what is looks and feels like to be in a race.
That was so intense... I love how the crowd supported you. I just can't imagine how you can get through that intact and upright... :D This is what YT is made for!
Amazing speed I can only imagine the amount of broken bike parts they go through a year ,no wonder we have such great MTB accessories because of riders like this -- well done Aussie maniac !!
As much as it would've been nice to win, you're still a winner for even completing that course. That's crazy man! Should still be really proud of yourself to do something most people wouldn't dare to do
Dude, even though you ended up second, you did extremely well!!! 😃 I mean, 98% of us will never even try this, so you can be really proud of you, gj! 😉
That is absolutely Unreal Fast. That old hard packed, loose, rocky, rooty, dusty line down the mountain requires so much focus and commitment. Troy came out of the start hut so fast, I really just don't even have the words. There are only a few humans that will ever go this fast on a MTB. I respect and love this sport even more after watching this.
That's amazing, can't believe y'all are able to maintain that speed despite the terrain you flying across! For what it's worth you did incredible and that run was amazing!
out of all runs ive seen so far, this finally showed me how fast these guys fly.. so fast that the gopro smoothing correction couldnt keep up. Amazing run
That was ridiculous athleticism and focus. I got goosebumps just watching. Kudos to you and the other bikers that raced your hearts out, and brownie points for the trick you did at the last jump 😉
Hard to believe someone was faster than that. You blew through some of those sections faster than i would consider humanly possible. Bikes have come a long way but wow, that's incredible. Almost flying over those rocks.
Pull with opposite hand as you're pushing with you're leg to stop the slight steering wobble at the start and the middle. You might gain you're o.4 sec. But that was AWSOME !!! Some speed through that rock garden. Well done sir...
Damn, PoV really puts the high speed in perspective. Well done!
Still big gopro effect, going that fast is nuts
@@bmxer1997isaac Yeah, I thought about how fast it looked, that I KNOW how strong GoPro effect is and just figured "DAAAMN".

@@bmxer1997isaac what's GoPro effect? Makes the pov look slower than it actually is? I feel like I've seen it on a pov of alphatauri in f1.
Not to mention the dangers of all them clay like rocks that just begs you to take a nose dive over them and faceplant
With infinite respawns, I probably would finish this course in 6 years, 2 months and 13 days.
You rock! Keep it up!
Up up down down left right left right B A Start.
@@chevyswearingen644 konami 💀
I think with being basically immortal you'd get the hang of this in a matter of weeks
with infinite respawn some try harder dudes would improve the wr to be under the minutes ez
@@brandonn6099 b x
Seeing the guy that won by 0.4 second on his POV would look exactly like this ride did...what a ride man!!! looked awesome!!!
ye but he would also be 0.4 seconds slower with a gopro on his helmet
Even if only four-tenths of a second, I can't even comprehend how anyone could go downhill faster than that. It seems like something which is on the very edge of human capability.
Really did look like these 2 riders were riding at the limits of this course.

If you don't fall off, you aren't trying hard enough.
Just wait for 10 years or so and even insane times like this will become the norm
HOW. THE. FAAAAARK!??? Unreal pace, incredible effort Troyson!!
Exactly! How is that even possible?? The rock garden at that pace is insane!! Amazing!!😱😱😱

This was INCREDIBLE to watch. This must've taken an INSANE amount of work and dedication
seems like it and loads of stamina to keep the pace i know i would be wheezing my arse off around the second corner
No way, this is easy. Anybody can do this with few hours of practice.
@@MobileAura if you try and do exactly what this guy did with only a few hours of practice you will actually die
@@woodybob01 i bet he trained for a few weeks/months todo this sprint don't you think?
Dude cmon u would die if u were doing this run at this speed with a "few hours of practice "
That speed in the rock section 😍😍
Hard time for your tires and wheels 🙃
Anyway ! Amazing race, maximum effort ! Nice job Troy
I don't think the normal person can really comprehend what he did through that section. Insane!
Not to mention his hands. I’ve only gone mountain biking once, but my hands were dead after it. The bumpiness can hurt
@@brandonm1708 honestly some who have experience would have trouble holding on in that terrain. I could see my self letting go by accident.
@@brandonm1708 yeah my wrists hurt just watching this video😂
@@Nonexistanthuman gotta grab it by the horns there for surrrrre sheeeeeeeesh
Amazing run!
That rock garden at 2:45 looked mental at that speed. Are you able to see it or is it just a blur? Longest rock garden in history!
Good question! Im curious to hear his answer on this!

Dont forget that that mans legs are perfectly tuned shock absorbers aswell so i guess its reaction speed and plenty of training on ghe track

This type of stuff needs to be televised. I was genuinely entertained and fascinated. One of the best things i found on youtube.
You’ve been at the very sharp end of DH racing, it’s hard to believe you don’t have 15+ wins under your belt!
Your an absolute legend Troy!! Do our country so proud🇦🇺
That was so intense... I love how the crowd supported you. I just can't imagine how you can get through that intact and upright... :D This is what YT is made for!
man it must feel amazing having all those people cheering for you!
Hearing all that support from the crowd was amazing. Being in that position must be the best thing ever
Amazing speed I can only imagine the amount of broken bike parts they go through a year ,no wonder we have such great MTB accessories because of riders like this -- well done Aussie maniac !!
That was an amazing run. The speed you maintained through the whole course was unbelievable. Nice riding man.
Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
As much as it would've been nice to win, you're still a winner for even completing that course. That's crazy man! Should still be really proud of yourself to do something most people wouldn't dare to do
These speed runs are insane. I'm just glad we haven't had anyone try to noclip next.
This is absolutely insane! Good work brother! Much respect!
Fookin ell!
I’m exhausted after watching that. He rode the wheels off that bike.
Bravissimo sir
wow hard to imagine even a slightly faster run than this, incredible
My excitement when Troy crossed the line we’re probably the same as when Troy saw his time , mate your a bloody legend
next year man! this is an epic video holy crap, the terrain you go over is insane.
Way rad man!! great line choices in some of those sections. The pure definition of commitment. great ride.
Dude, even though you ended up second, you did extremely well!!! 😃 I mean, 98% of us will never even try this, so you can be really proud of you, gj! 😉
LOL, you're saying 2% of us WOULD try it? No chance
And the rest...
@CanarS i would try it and die.
Ofc im the 2%
@@kiattim2100 watchu talking about i would try and see jesus under 10sec
Damn, that was so fast I had to double check the playback settings as I thought I might have left it on 1.25 speed!
I loved hearing the cheering from the crowd the whole course down, great job
Absolute madman! Awesome work dude!
Killed it dude, was rooting so hard for you on the live stream!

Awesome Troy! Congratz, that was good season.
This man was floating through the whole course.
He literally left the earth several times
out of all runs ive seen so far, this finally showed me how fast these guys fly.. so fast that the gopro smoothing correction couldnt keep up. Amazing run
So cool. You were absoultely smashing it
Hell of a run and a hell of a season Troy!🤘
What a run, don't even know how you could have squeezed 0.4secs in this 4min run. Insane
MAAAAN with this road !!! , you're already victorious cuz you finished the race
Bro this guy was so fast i cant even imagine and he was shaking as hell idk how he managed to keep himself calm and so fast
I honestly can't believe how fast some riders can hit the technical rock sections, and just seem to fly over them... Amazing.
speed actually gives you stability. If you go slow you are more likely to fail. But yeah the speed he had on that course is just insane!
The poor man at 4:14 .............
the amount of leg strength to be able to go that fast is insane. Also your control over the bike is incredible!!
What an insane skill you have! Congrats!
Plot twist: he’s going around in a circle and the people keep fallowing him
Goddamn this got my heart racing just watching. Keep at it dude! You'll get the win.
What a ride. Amazing run Troy
Wow. Most amazing insight into the world of mountain bike racing.
Are u on BIKE? 🚴
Holy sh*t, I think I would have died 10 times trying to go down that route.
Always love to see a first person cam
1st off Great job) Much respect for bike control'Also for having bike tuned So good No Rattling or Brake shoe noise
That was breathtaking performance man.
Imagine the emotions he was going trough at this moment
Phenomenal!!
How the bike and rider finish the course in one piece is mind blowing.
Awesome run! I remember a time when someone doing a run like this on a hardtail with elastomer suspension forks would've been called fancy!
I hurt myself by just looking at this madness.
Much respect for you my Dude!
That was ridiculous athleticism and focus. I got goosebumps just watching. Kudos to you and the other bikers that raced your hearts out, and brownie points for the trick you did at the last jump 😉
I love how so many people were so excited by a man going fast on a bike. 😆 So awesome
Energy in this crowd is amazing!
the amount of cheers just happening, how many of them are just wanting you to go is awesome. insane run
Great job bro and I was on the edge om my seat the whole time🤣
Dude you were flying, that was awesome
That's insane man!! I was scared just watching 🤣🤣
Jeez the power in this guy's legs must be unreal. Those rocky sections looked killer
Dude, I love this. I would go watch this live. I wonder why this isn't more popular in the states 🤔
Doing us proud brother!
I raced there 20 years ago and that rock garden brings back memories
Hard to believe someone was faster than that. You blew through some of those sections faster than i would consider humanly possible. Bikes have come a long way but wow, that's incredible. Almost flying over those rocks.
Awesome effort. Insane speed carried through
You Won our hearts
Sick run!
I truly don't see how you could go any faster or do that any cleaner!! That was INSANE!!!!! You are an animal bro! Awesome job
INCREDIBLE!!! I even stopped breathing!!
Saw you at the shoe in person! excellent run!
That looked insane!!
Downhill mtb racing is nuts. Good friend of mine used to do it before joining the Marines. Maniacs the lot of em.
Woohooooooo! Great job!
Bro you’re an absolute weapon !!
You ar a bloody legend mate
Pull with opposite hand as you're pushing with you're leg to stop the slight steering wobble at the start and the middle. You might gain you're o.4 sec. But that was AWSOME !!! Some speed through that rock garden. Well done sir...
I race amateur enduro and this level of speed and commitment is still insane to me.
Holy crap jit went off my guy awesome job
Sound of the crowd. Brilliant.
Looked a flawless run to me, bad luck mate, but good job, awesome ride
this is a perfect mix of skill and insanity.
It was scary tbh especially through that pointed rock pieces glad that you could go through it mate .
Incredible! 👍👍👍
I am amazed how quiet the bike is through the rocks sections. No rattling at all
i think, that winner is everybody, who can finish this track..awesome ride!
Nice job mate .Im sure you will get it next time
Amazing how the front wheel moves but the camera stays straight, amazing skills, that must be a hell of an adrenaline rush
Amazing ride!
really nice ride, my wrists, elbows and shoulders are hurting just from watching this. be safe
Man that was insane! I could never!
Juste impressionnant de rouler à cette allure même en connaissant la piste... Grand respect aux champions !
