    I'm not into mountain biking or anything but I've been following your Mountain of Hell and Megavalance races since 2019. It's so heartbreaking to see you come so close to victory yet so far, you did really well. Keep working hard, that victory is waiting for you. Seeing those last 5 minutes broke my heart and I can't even imagine how you were feeling at that moment. Always supporting you, Killian. And this new format of showing video with information is great.

      @@teijaflink2226 oh that's not Killian in the end. Killian's GoPro stopped working around 31 minutes mark, so he used Stefan Peter's (winner of this event) video.
      It says nr. 1 because Stefan Peter finished first. Sadly, Killian couldn't win due to tyre issues despite being in the front with comfortable lead.

    Losing due to equipment failure is so brutal, especially when you were so far in the lead!
    That said, you were far enough ahead and close enough to the end that I'm convinced you would have won.

    • @naumen6508
      @naumen6508 2 года назад +46

      It's a lot due to the higher resolution at which they record nowadays. The stabilization is mostly done through software : the image is slightly cropped and an algorithm moves the video around to make it more stable. It's been used for a long time but with better sensors and shutter speeds,, the image is crisper thus easier to stabilize.
      It's great tech indeed.

      The race usually depends on skill of the rider but sometimes mechanical failures like : flat tire, broken chain, broken rear derailleur, broken rims or even a broken frame, or broken fork or broken handlebar.. can result unfortunately to switch the victory in favor of other riders.. which is usually called luck because they didn't have any issue..

    I really appreciated the annotations here. A great insight into what it takes to put yourself into a position to win with not just physical commitment, but the mental. Very impressed that you try to take some pleasure in riding your bike... what I would say is "Enjoy the challenge". Something I wish some coaches would have instilled in me earlier! It's such an interesting event; it's good to see it's competitors take it on with a good sporting attitude. Chapeau.

    • @Baiswith
      @Baiswith 2 года назад +2

      Yeah, the annotations were a great addition (wouldn't ask for on-bike commentary for obvious reasons!), and it was great of Stefan to let you have his footage after your gopro died, fantastic to see such cameraderie between competitors! Only thing I'd feed back on with the annotations is that, for me, the position was a little low - I kept having to go back in the video because I didn't notice them until they disappeared, and they're right over the video info overlay, which made quickly checking runtime a bit tricky.

    Your documentation of the megavalanche 2022 was insane. You were so calm and collected, even in the face of danger. It was incredible to watch.
    You're not just a great rider, you're also a great storyteller. Your videos are not only visually stunning, but they also capture the excitement and danger of downhill cycling in a way that no one else can. You're a true artist, and you're helping to bring downhill cycling to a wider audience.
    You're also a role model for young riders. You're proof that anything is possible if you set your mind to it. You're an inspiration to us all, and we're grateful for your contributions to the world of downhill cycling.
    So, from all of us at GoPro, congratulations, Kilian! You deserve it. Keep on sending it."

    remember it is the journey where is the passion, winning the goal is just gravy. My husband and I rode mountain bikes when it was a new idea, we've been on them ever since but as age not so much. Thank you for sharing your video of your race with us, we cheered you all the way; keep riding and loving it.

    this new format with your comments is incredibly nice, to know your emotions every moment of the race. The first few times I saw your races I was a bit disliked because you almost always won. . but after these last two unfortunate editions of the Megavalanche you have become my favorite and I will cheer for you. . together with the Italians. Who knows why S8cornola didn't compete this year? Anyway the competition between you and Stefan is enthusiastic but also Oton was terribly bad. . otherwise it would have been hard for everyone to beat him.

    Hey Kilian, greetings from Ukraine. It was an amazing race to watch your progress, sadly it ended that way. Your comments were very helpful to understand how it goes, how do you feel during the race, etc. These insides give much more value to the video. Good luck next time!

For your commentation on this video and the discipline it takes to even race like this it is truly amazing what you do. And for that I believe that if you keep your attitude, you will be taking that first place dream of yours as you have definitely proved you have earned it. Best of luck to you!

    At 25:24 when you enter that S bend and you see the dramatic amount of braking you apply and the way you transfer your body weight. That's so impressive. I think its my favourite part of the video. BTW, cheers for keeping your GoPro clean 😉

    Incredible race, too bad the snow is going away... Love the commentary, it shares the difficulty & thought process with us, putting us "in your skin". As a suggestion please make it by voice! It will make it perfect to focus on the action while hearing the commentary, switching from action to reading makes missing both a sad reality :D

    Kilian, you did very well! But he had the misfortune of the camera running out of battery and the tire losing pressure 😕 But next year you can do it 🤘🏼👍🏼 And you'll do great! The pictures turned out amazing, congratulations! Very cool!
