So here it is the Megavalanche in Alpe d’Huez, France
The Top Fastest 35 riders from each of the 10 Qualifying heats start the Elite Race.
This race covers snow, Gnarly terrain, slippy rocks, jumps, drops and corners all whilst battling with one another down a course that drops over 2,800 metres,
Made a little more difficult with a storm the night before!
Could I beat my so called World class level mates, Brendan Fairclough, Sam Reynolds, Andrew Neethling and Jono Jones 🤷♂️

I’m with the one and only Mr jonno Jones six o’clock in the morning it’s shat it down all night is it going to be good bit of Education before we get out there here’s the finish of the famous 21 turns there’s the CES over there yeah as well go check it out there’s nothing else exciting for the winners look a bit of a wait now to get on the lift in line order lift we’re now having to do a bit of Traverse to the next one look at this place insane we’re getting there we’re going to chill hard down there we don’t want any problems quite a bit of water’s come down so it’s really annoying we’re not going from the glacia but if you want to see what it looks like going from the glacia I actually made a video within the week that I’m going to post after this video and that is obviously giving you a track preview of the full Mega Avalanche course now obviously that started from the glass year today’s doesn’t bit of a shame but hopefully still loads of fun let’s get it O A I didn’t one more F you all excited Andrew be honest I was I’m was here for the glacier going all the way from South Africa yeah glacia once but but you can watch the glacia in this video down below in the link yeah at this lift we got to get this from 21 all the way up there to 28 and Mr Fair CLS here as well look living it all right here we are then the bottom of this lift and we got to get this all the way to the top where the start is knowing it’s not the glassier and I will shut up about this in a minute but it’s just so frustrating cuz I know how amazing the glassier is it’s about the board off we go well there’s one race I’ve just won getting out the gondi first look at that today Madness no you today bro here no needles chill out like that’s not you such a little stressy Lively number is you right I don’t have so the start not only is it a flat pedal you’ve also got to contend with a few uh man I pill pedal then you got a few man-made tree trunks as well why is that pole there there’s a hole hole where underneath Grim you’ve done quite a few megas and stuff now and um what did you say not the same as the glassier is it no it’s just not no it’s actually pretty dump right now and this is going to be Grim these First turns put your lenses on let’s see slight problem well I can see everything with these on actually it’s not that bad stick it over the it’s not bad the Cal before the storm in this cupboard fin you the table gu to bring his own cameraman with him we’re going to be running through slushy snow one M cool I think they’re lining up bikes now in row letter order doing six line groups again so you’re not actually racing a thousand people or whatever unfortunately cuz they physically haven’t got the space it’s not like the main piece oh Min there’s a coffee machine at the top come back to the cave cuz it’s a little cold out there weirdly not that worried at all about today it’s just nice and chill it’s not like the qu where you’ve got to go hell for Lever I we just make our way to the bottom and just be nice and safe there he is Mr Samuel Reynolds get that camera out my f they’re just about to start lining up these are all letter A’s and then it Go b c d etc etc guess who’s still faffing around judging on that bike here she is the pink pearl all waiting for our um numbers to come through we got all the crew get it it’s a little harder doing it like this than on the snow I’m not going to lie quite quite compacted so they’re actually doing two Heats now for the main event just cuz there’s not enough room to fit everyone on could have G on the left hand side slightly FV up but where’s the fun in that I’ve got to go behind needles and Bren way more fun and jonno as well look how narly this looks crazy amazing what it does for sure just be right it’s starting to get real now way more people here in the front just a shame isn’t it CU on the snow is wide enough that everyone would have been in one line but is what it is those gloves working out right yeah mate it’s cooking warm in yet I don’t think they work actually here we are then cage cage cage [ __ ] me who’s hitting the pole Madness who’s all right one minute are we get out of this now

was the winner of your group the one guy who went to madeira and slovenia. you had a hard run, so slippery and dirty.
What a race!! More carnage, effort and stress than the dh worlds! Fair play for keeping cool when that bell end barged past! I’d have popped a lung trying to catch and kill!
Was that not Brendog that you passed at 26:36? 😂
Absolutely loved the little comments on the way down especially “shut up ya prick!” Good on you for calling out the over the top dangerous guys!!
Ace! Cheers for the footage dude, it was like being there myself 🙂 until next year…
Stayed for the cheeky elbow, and rightly so! Good work Deaks! Always love a Megavalanche video.
You would have to be a fool to run clip in pedals during this race lol…
DMR V12s all the way… 😂🤟
well done ben 🙂 see you back at fod lol
@rjripper sir !!!
"you f**kin prick ….I'm gonna whack you"🤣🤣🤣
what do you win??
You were in beast mode there deaks! Would love to give it a bash, would be near the back of the pack but looks class!!
Deaks you utter renegade ….your approach to this race has you acheiving god like status in my eyes 🙌🙌💪🤜🤜🤜
Shit, it was a little bit muddy this year……!
Well done deaks great effort man and you kept it upright.
Brings back the nightmare of the year I did it, started from the same spot but it was snowing up there and pissing with rain on the way to the lift to the top.
Then that flat track before the slippy woods we just had to drag bikes along as the wheels wouldn’t turn and there was a que of people.
Then my dropper got stuck up for the last quarter of the run.
Not been back for some reason 😂
Great run Deaks. we came down in the amateur race after you and the woods was pure carnage lol
Deakinator the climbing machine! Fitnessing ya way thru like a demon 🔥🔥🔥
Great effort!! That amount of riders on that course would do my head in!
Bloody loved this. Been out of the loop for a long time – rode this back in 2003! Cheers Deaks nice one fella!
