I was expecting just a ride down a ski slope. Not a journey to a neighboring state. Holy cripes..what a ride!
Miatacrosser “holy... cripes?”
Miatacrosser ffs’s🤯
What a ride indeed! I thought the same yet was surprised at the distance and terrain they traveled.
I was thinking about which Rainbow Road theme from Mario Kart series should I listen to while watching this video?
Same
I thought the snow was insane, then they got to the rocks.
I thought the rocks were insane, then they got to the trees.
I raced there. Belive me, the deep-holes-and-sneaky-roots carpet hiding under the dust between the trees is just killing. Maybe the hardest part of the race for the arms. Portions from 11:18 to 11:36 and even more from 12:16 to 12:37. Even with the best suspension settings, it's like riding on a jackhammer-bike.
@Dustin Reid Never been, so I'll trust you for this.
Damn bro, spoilers
I felt the same. It was amazing to watch.
Right. That was insane. I was worried about those trees, one wrong turn....
I wonder how it feels to be in 1st place most of the race. Seeing absolutely no one in front of you has to be an insane feeling.
Damien oton uploaded the winning run
See my shadow.
There's one I saw with 1st and 2nd fighting to win. One of the nest videos I've seen
It would be cool but you have to ride through all the snow to make routes for everyone else
How do you know where to go??
Imagine going 40+ mph through trees and there is a dude roasting you saying his breaks are burning from you going to slow LMAO
Drizzify 🤣🤣🤣
Hahahahaha I was thinking the same.
So he is taking breaks ?
@@GhettoSuguru i think he's talking about the brakes on his bike. they're burning 'cause he's using them too much, implying the guy in front of his is going too slow
LMFAOOOO
This is way more intense than the mega avalanche that I expected when I clicked.
damn right
It was dishonest click bait
Yeah these guys are their bikes
At least Ben fought on with no regrets.
@@willjace789 I feel like he said that in the video lol
"I literally don't care about the race at all anymore"
*Proceeds to aggressively overtake as many people as possible*
Hey, If you are competitive you always want to the best you can. Plus, you hate wasting energy, momentum, etc. I totally know the feeling.
He doesn’t want to burn his FOKING BRAKES!!
My favorite was when he yelled at the guy who cut in front of him about fighting for 150 millionth place or whatever, and how bullshit it was, then like 5 seconds later is doing it to someone else lol.
@@mikagami69 haha yep that was also up there in my hypocrisy highlights reel
lmao thought i was the only one who noticed just that
"I don't care about the race anymore...."
CONTINUES TO RIDE AT MAX HEART RATE FOR THE NEXT 20MINUTES LOL
durianrider I
That's what its about...Speedrenaline
He also comments on people over taking him on the trails "oh that's naughty. Some people obviously fighting for 150millionth." While he is also trying his best to overtake other riders. Funny!
He definitely carbed the fuck up!! 😏😂
This guy has the durability of my GTA V character.

@@harrypierce2347 yes for sure I know from experience
13:18 - true sportsmaship attitude
Dude thanked him in the local native language, that’s bonus points for politeness (even if he whines a bit)
@@SamuraiBonesie If I was riding and heard some bee buzzing behind my head, I'd make way. I'm there to do the best I can, not necessarily the best in the field. I'm not there to fuck it up for other people. If they can do better then power to them. Let everyone win by being the best they can be.
I wondered if anybody else thought that was a class move well executed
The second of the race did the same with the first 🙂
@@aaronmicalowe You're better than me. I try though.
i came into this thinking everyone was trying to survive a mega avalanche. i was wrong
Mister Linh no, they're trying to cause one
lmaoo, frealz.
haha ikr
That thumbnail was deceptive.
Avalanche of bikes
Imagine he would have forgot to hit record on his go pro

He can just do it next year and remember to record.
Putin omg syka
Did you just assume that he's using a GoPro?
@@Goat.phomator666 yeah he could be rockin a Canon x29mark79 for cripes sake
"Some guys are fighting for 150M, I just want to get down the mountain at this stage"

The real fastest biker would have to be determined by timed individual runs, the winner was a guy who started at the front of the pack.
Usually in this races they have your historic of races and put the best riders in the beginning.
@@leonardopessanha5128 they do qualifying runs Friday and Saturday before the full Sunday race. Those determine your placement
@@antanis nice. Thank you
czcams.com/video/n_7gkhSjSjY/video.html Nah watch this, I think it's his video
Well on a race that long it has no effect (nearly) unless you crash due to someone else at the start
This man legit rode through like 3 or 4 different biomes LOL
Sorry, sorry everyone, false start , everybody back to the top please
I don't think the mountain bike people know how it is to counter-steer. You can tell who doesn't from around the 2:18 section who crashed into snow.
@@antdx316 i take it you've been in a similar race on similar terrain on a similar bike and counter-steering. The "mountain bike people" who take on this race, on this terrain, and on these bikes obviously know how to ride a bike better than your average Joe/Tony. It's just that when you're moving 30mph on a decline that would normally probably see skiiers, and doing so on wheels makes the counter-steering less than optimally effective.
They know how to ride a bike. That shit just doesn't work when you're going that fast. You just slide, and it takes a long time for you to actually start to turn. You can see that if you watch closely. I know this from riding mountain bikes around on frozen lakes as a kid. You can turn and counter-steer all you want, but it isn't gonna change the direction you're heading. That's how these guys ended up on the side and on their faces.
Lastly, in response to your arrogant comment, i would ask you, why respond to someone's comment about a false start with some nonsense about counter-steering on snow? It's irrelevant to the joke of the OP. Make your own comment next time instead of piggybacking on someone else.
@@CP4884 It's not my fault people are inexperienced. On a motorbike at speeds above 25mph you need to counter-steer but if you are scared to do it for fear of going the wrong way due to inexperience what can you do?
@@antdx316 It's not inexperience or an inability to counter steer. Obviously you're inexperienced when it comes to flying down the side of a snow covered mountain on a mountain bike. You CAN'T counter-steer is what i'm trying to tell ya. It just doesn't work. You just drift and slide in a straight-ish line. Not to mention your wheels are grabbing at every little divot in the terrain that makes your bike want to careen and send you flying.
@@antdx316 The problem is that you're trying to compare something that weighs 20lbs and has tires that are 3" wide with something that weighs 600lbs, has tires 8" wide, and is on asphalt...not snow. Grow a brain, lose the arrogance. You couldn't do what these guys are doing. You just don't have the requirements. Those requirements being balls and skill.
The "mountain bike people" don't know how to drift? lol. I'd like to see you *TRY*. Please, film it with a Go-Pro. We don't have enough clips on CZcams of "I Almost F*cking Died".
1:57 homie in the baby blue hit the nitrous lol
Hahaha good one :D he sure came fast compared to the others
Someone stole your comment lol
when no brake is life.
he had no brakes
I'm sure he had brakes, I think he was just the (even more) exciting type and just couldn't care about surviving, SONIC SPEED.
*me watching this with my Fiancee*
Her: omg they're going so fast... OMG they're getting run over... OMG LOOK AT THOSE ROCKS!!! OMG THATS SO STEEP!!! Promise me you'll never do anything this stupid!
Me: I must do this race....
You are of my type
YES. do it
Yeah. Me too. I wanna do it.
Yah do it.
Lmao it looks so fun
12:30 "ozzie ozzie ozzie" "yea yea yea" "lol no oi oi oi"
"Mah fookin brakes are burnin mate"
I got a good laugh out of that line! XD
timestamp?
I ran out of breath about half way through the video and i'm only watching.
same thing here. I felt exhausted lmao!
hahaha
same
yeah same here. impressive
your lucky . I lost it on the snow crash .
7:00 “ some people fighten for 150th millionth “ 😂😂
justincarnes1 then he proceeds to do the same 😂
At that point he just want to finish the race that's why he might try to pace some people

LOL
No. That was uphill, both ways.
Yep and then the 5 Mile walk and swim across a river, and your at school...
@@alexanderfederowicz hahaha sounds like my dads story, skied 10km to school in winter times, walked on summer haha
Hehehehe Good.
2:10 is my favourite part, the acceleration combined with having absolutely no control over the bike gives me excitement chills.
The beginning js always my favorite part. Nothing like going full speed down a steep snowy mountain to make your adrenaline rush!
First place wins free medical bills
lol
😂😂😂
So normally you have to pay to get a medical bill? Usually we get them for free. Sounds like you're getting ripped off mate paying twice 😂
lmao
As good as...aka sponsorship
3:38 That's fuckin awesome how that helicopter glides sideways like that. Pilot's swag capacitors must be overloaded
Mercurial yes that was boss
Whats so special about that ?
Isn't it supposed to be quite hard doing that stuff at speed? You see helicopters wiping out while just hovering. I wonder if speed adds inertia and therefore some stability but really it just wants to spin so to hang in a strafe like that tracking riders whilst supposedly having awareness of a million other things is pretty sick surely?
DEJA VU
I mean in theory a chopper can fly any which way, just check out RC helicopters. Normally you don't fly that way, since the tail rotor has a much harder job keeping the heli from spinning out. And also, why would you?
I’ve never seen this guys tactic of whining his way in front of riders before...Seemed to work quite well for him.
Good race mate!
🔴⚪️
This guy's going through the trees like he's on a speeder bike, going through Endor.

HAHAHAAHA,
I know... I wanted it to be like that ;ppp
@@titox2310 tbh no clue
Jonathan Titko it’s more of a let me pass when it’s convenient for u thing. At least in my high school league
I think he's passing the people who are being slow cus it's dangerous to be behind someone who constantly breaks
On one hand this looks fun af, but on the other...
Living is nice
If I could go back in time before I had a family and a business then maybe I'd do that. At the back where I could go slower. It'd still be a rush. I ski stuff tougher than that but it isn't a race with people crashing directly in front of me.
The snow part looked fun. Even the crash looked fun. Probably hurts like hell but hey, any crash you can get up and ride off is a fun crash.
The rock part looked horrible but the forest looked awesome, damn the trails are wide there and so flowy.
Of course , if I ever get to do that, I'd probably go pretty slow and just have fun, honestly I'd probably come in last no matter how hard I try
I'm tied of the constant bad language. Now and again ok but not constant. I'm no prude and can swear with the best
I'd take my XC bike and just kill my wrists, but at least I'd be super fast on the climbs
@@Fred_the_1996 I'd be worried about surviving till the climbs lol.
@@Rose_Butterfly98 I know of a bike that could take a hit or two. The rockrider XC100S, an alloy 120mm full sus XC bike with an NX eagle drivetrain. The thing with that bike is that it can fit 27.5+ wheels, 27.5 and 29", so I could fit 27.5'x2.8 and I would survive, in theory. Also, it's cheap! A full sus with an NX 12 speed drivetrain, Manitou Markhor 120mm tapered Boost fork, a Manitou Radium shock, and 12.8kg, all for 1300€!
@@Fred_the_1996 my friend has a 120mm full sus rockrider too , I think it's the st 560, but the parts are different for some reason.
The bike will survive but Idk if a person will .
I didn't really see any big drops.
It's kinda funny that Btwin puts it as an xc but my 120mm Siskiu D7 is a trail bike .
I’ve never been glued to video like I have with this one. This is so cool to watch. Good adrenaline rush hahah
“I like mountain biking!”
(Watches this video)

And I'm An Anarchist how about I make you a thong? Oh drat, I haven’t needles small enough.
We are pro at watching these vids tho... ;-) Damn what a rush, wasn't sure how good he was till the second half when others were actually slowing him down... Nice Work!!!

4:31 giant usb cable
In the vid of the winner this sign is still standing I wonder what happened haha
in its natural habitat
Lolololol
😂
5 dudes turned left accidently off the cliff... They made it down the hill first..but not near the finish line.
The problem when a competitor is misplaced in the group by an early accident.
You are faster than **everyone** near you, but that is not enough. You need to get past them, too!
Seriously though he could have gone way faster if not for that guy in the trees
Had the same thought, *everybody* around him is slow, no escape but around them.
2:17 when u get the gold mushroom in mariokart and go offroad.
What a nasty spill right there LOL!
Lmao😂
10:20
“And some people are obliviously fighting for 150 000 000” a bit later on “ cmon cmon mate let me past” 😂
The guy he says that about it LITERALLY the guy he does the exact same thing to earlier in the video at 5:54 hahaha
EDIT 6:48 for people who don't know what we are talking about.
It's not a matter of winning at that point, it's a matter of safety and not destroying your brakes.
Having to stay on the brakes tires you out. He literally says this right before pleading with the other rider.
Dude I noticed you spelled "pass" wrong.
Yeah man, dude pushed past quite a few people, but when the hi-vis guy went past him he fucking complained. This dudes such a fucking hypocrite
Just like the invasion of Normandy.
The solders went from wanting to win to wanting to survive.
Awesome video.
That looks fun and terrifying at the same time.
Imagine getting your underwear stuck in an uncomfortable position during this
Иван Степанов uhhh
They didnt wear underwear though
Their balls are too big to wear underwear
MrBarfy just what I was about to say
Why would you wear underwear on an enduro ride?
13:15 salute to the rider..
He's a record holder for being the only rider who did that in a race
figting for the 456 place :)
The way these people communicate, I love it!
most thrilling pov ive ever seen. just incredible. lost for words

Man this is insane!!! How awesome it must be to live near this trail!!!
I used to do a little bit of downhilling 20years ago in a woods near me on a hardtail but seeing this is just purely insane at the highest level.total respect to everyone who took part.
Can’t stop laughing at this 6:52
Trying to get into position a hundred and fifty millionth 😂😂😂
I was dying when he said 150-millionth XD
funniest part
The irony...
#Truth
When I saw that part of the video I thought he said a hundred and fifty million (as in money)
This is awesome...
Love the polite Frenchman at 13:17...
He answered with "Mercy"? xD

"Merci" Its thank you in French ;)

We need to ask his girlfriend if he makes those sounds when he is doing her xD
A lot of others were making the noises to let others know they're trying or going to pass them. When it got less hectic, he started to say which side he was trying to pass on. Just wanted to let others know. You know, just in case someone didn't get it.
Starting everybody at the exact same time seems unnecessarily dangerous for any single track trail. Its like making 100 people race up the same ladder at the same time.

that was hilarious when that guy dove to avoid your bike

This was one THE most insane downhillraces I've ever seen
The parts where the ride is smooth are great. This also looks really fun.
I died when he said . " ballsie, fighting for 150 millionth." Hahahaha
Lol yeah, all the while hes doing the exact same shit all video.
Yep ... quite funny :D.
Spe ggy he said he’s just trying to get off
Time?
Nah, he wasn't fighting for pole position the whole video, he was trying to get around slow fuckers that were wasting him energy because he had to brake and then pedal again which will fatigue your muscles allot quicker instead of using the momentum of gravity and just letting it roll. the one guy wasn't letting him pass or couldn't because it was on twisty turns but after he got past him he was able to manage his energy a bit better for the rest of the track until he came across another road block.
In his mind he wasn't fighting for first, just finishing the race, this event looks and sounds exhausting since majority of the time you're trying to keep balance which is were most of your energy is getting burnt. People may think its easy because its downhill but that's not true when the terrain is rocky...it costs more energy to stabilize yourself.
Ironic, on a part where it is wide open and smooth he questions people who are going fast and he wouldn't do that, yet farther down where it is rocky, narrow and turns he is complaining about the other person going slow.
I am sure that person is thinking what Ben was at the top of the hill. He'll go as fast as he feels comfortable for that area.
Bunch of guys literally just crashing down the mountain the whole time 😂😂 this looks awesome
ALARMAAAA SO MUCH SPEEED, in the next competitions take care, greetings from Bolivia.

Does the GoPro make everything look like a near death experience or is that just what I watched?
this was great. LOL
Far out.. I don't know how fast they were going, but the shaking of the GoPro must have made it look way worse. Or, unless, they were actually going crazy fast.
Everything on tracks like that is a near death experience. Its not just the gopro.
Thank you wording this for me
Actually in rl its more scary the on cam prolly 2x or more. If from the pov cam it looks steep then in rl its even more steeper then it looks.
