Rachel Atherton's Amazing Save! Full Mont St Anne Downhill Finals run on GoPro

Watch again as Rach pulls back from a seemingly impossible situation!
In her own words... "When I dropped off the big rock roll & hit my inside line I saw a large square loose rock & thought "oh shit"
there was no way I could avoid it, I just knew I had to hold on tight!
... I Landed sideways on the rocks drifting, I just thought "shit I cannot go out of the tapes" so I held as strong as I could and pulled it back on track, my heart was in my mouth as I bucked thru that section I couldn't believe I was still on the bike, the crowd was cheering like ""oooooh noooo, YESSSSS, NOOOOO, YESSAAAASSSSSS!
I remember thinking I can't crash here it'll finish me off!

She gives the headshake like I do when I fuck it up and nearly eat dirt.

Thanks

Thanks

[@SHMIDTEY]

Thank you hero

[@RyanAlexanderBloom]

About 30 seconds in I’d already have died.

[@taffurelli93]

we would probably all explode at 0:14 with that not perfectly perfect landing and immediately after the rocks

[@RyanAlexanderBloom]

@@taffurelli93 I think I really could ride everything up to the series of large looking drops that start around 30s in... definitely would die at 55s best possible case.

[@taffurelli93]

@@RyanAlexanderBloom i rewatched... I confirm, i Need 10km/h less to land and pass that rocks at 0:17 😅

That was one of the best saves in DH racing history. Fucking insane.

Love all the English supporters shouting Racheal all the way down 🤙🤙🤙

Local Quebecois who truly love Rachel as well :) DH MTB is a universal language, I my right? ;)

People from Québec tend to change the way they say a name depending from where it’s from, so it’s most likely quebecers!

Roses are red this guy is mean
The time you are looking for
Is at 3:15

Thanks

[@finn3225]

Thanks bro and nice text

[@JZX_Nate]

haha

[@RaptorFlyer3D]

Guy? Girl 😆

[@Rims52]

Wow, just Wow. Is it me or does anyone else get a crick neck watching the POV. Lift camera a touch please lol

[@joeflanagan9659]

I think she had enough work to do than to worry about camera position!!

[@Rims52]

Joseph Flanagan yes ,there's been a few like this.

[@josejaviermartinez8157]

Neil Rimmer how do u get a crick neck from watching a screen lmao

[@MegaVince09]

The best biking shots are from a chest mount... this is a helmet cam.

[@foggylog19]

Well done Rachel, even the save part looked smooth on pov, though I'm sure it wasn't in real life

[@finn7750]

Its because the cam is on the helmet. Try for yourself

[@tobyhadler3499]

Amazing skill, great footage from Rachel, just superb.

[@sumotherdude]

unreal. everything else is pretty much perfect too. what a boss!

[@djcorza]

One of The Best saves of all time!! Nice work Rachel!!

[@sullenpuffin]

That is just a phenomenal save. She's amazing!

[@RickyDownhillRDH]

Amazing run! I get why they put the camera on their helmets so there is no distraction (chest mount) but man it’s such a bad setup for perspective, depth and speed.

[@G58]

Agreed. Sponsored by GoPro! Some advice would have been smart.
For me, these vids are ruined by the amateur camera angle, but this may be due to the lens angle. Whatever is the case, the vids are not worthy of a world champion.

[@javierguerrero8722]

If I was driving, in the 3:15 minute everything that would be seen would be dirt and you would hear me crying

[@hunter.4091]

That save was fecking amazing

[@joski9030]

Needs more cow bell 🔔

[@dirtbagjoe9884]

WOW!!! AWESOME save!!!

[@GMPPMG]

Incredible skills

[@gosia.smith1]

Not a grumpy run. Amazing!

[@josh_cartwright8682]

Well I would have die there 😂😂

[@netzisto9338]

Who is still talking about F1 and other motorsports?
It's so pre-corona, this seems to be the future.

[@1jayzed636]

This isn’t a motor sport

[@johnnyvivic8730]

Unless you've ridden downhill before, you have no idea how hard this is.

[@Dr.Acula76]

That was an amazing save. 90% would have bit it big time there.

[@jfnurod]

crazy save!!! I don't remember seeing it rain during the Womens but the track looks a tad wet

[@Hawlkeye-e9p]

Team chin does it gain. +1 for not face planting.

[@ShooterMcNut]

I think I pooped myself

[@huntertate5607]

What's with the front fender on the bike?? Gotta think that would slow you down...with drag at higher speed. Does t seem like it's needed on this coarse

[@Drimil3]

3:15

[@rockyrafty]

Babe come over
Can't rn sorry
My parents aren't home
People with bikes :

[@MegaVince09]

So I am thinking how much of a save could be, then...ok she’s awesome!

[@GamesJames]

Great video on silent. I couldn’t stand the whistles and screaming. Just feel like it’s is obnoxious and distracting

[@auldflyer]

Heart in the mouth from start to finish, unbelievable..........

[@trollnu1356]

That would have been a bad get off,good save 🤘and only just a little head shake like wtf lol

Is this in slomo?

[@makirichi]

Gopro wide angle do that. Gimbals and narrow point of shooting should fix that... If they can stop sleeping out there ~

gopro makes everything look slower than it is.
