Thought I would share the wee film I made about the 2011 Megavalanche. Hope you enjoy it and that it tempts you to take part next year! 🙂
Nice vid.
Sore finger.
Good video. Punching trees not so good.
Nice Vid Dave.
Ouch. Did you manage to finish?
nice vid.
how did you get on doing the rest of it with the broken finger?
Looks great! If a little scary! Chapeau.
Thanks people glad you like it!
I'm afraid I didn't man up and finish the race. There was still the equivalent of 3 x Fort William WC DH tracks to get to the bottom. Not near as rough I must admit, but still a long way down. Never mind, there is always next year!!! 🙂
Great vid.
The finger made me giggle! It was like take the glove and then yeah.... that's a bit bent!
Good effort though.
Nice vid.
Did it in '08 and '09, watching that really does make me want to go back next year! Cheers!
😀
Nice film. You've shown the sections that, I think, a lot of people don't realise are in the race. Kudos for trying to carry on. The last time I did it I finished with 3 snapped spokes and no air in my forks. It's the hardest thing and the best thing I've ever done.
I dislocated my knee in a similar spot in the qualifiers last year. Lost about 3 or 4 mins while I was screaming like hell. One I'd got it back in, i decided to roll to the bottom of the quali as I didn't like the number of people whizzing past. Straight in the med tent. And then to hospital. Missed out on race day 🙁
Only just got back to normal as I'd broke sone bone off in there too. Seemed like you were doing ok there too!
Oh and nice vid!!
Dave
That is a really excellent video. Very well put together and I really enjoyed watching it. It must be amazing to really start a ride so high up, what an experience it must have been. Unbelievable.
I'd thoroughly recommend it to anyone. The views on Pic Blanc are breathtaking, and what a setting to ride your bike through. Nice bit of rocky never ending singletrack after the glacier too!
