Thanks for your comment. I produced this video to demonstrate THE FUTURE of how media will cover downhill skiing, LIVE TO YOUR CELLPHONE! The speed as indicated is not the actual speed for this run. We couldn’t find that exact data when we made this video so we represented what it would be like if you were setting the world speed record for a World Cup race. A speedometer was added along with biometric feedback and leader boards in the sky to showcase how, in the future, data will be presented and streamed LIVE FROM THE SKIER STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE, VR headsets or other screens.

I only skied it this year. It was a bad year for snow, lots of icy patches. But seeing it live, the risks and the lines they take is unbelievable. Normally go to Austria every year ( I’m Irish) but will definitely go back for the race. Although to stay there is extremely expensive I found

I will admit, I was watching this during my morning ritual. By the end, I found myself leaning so far forward that I almost fell off the toilet. Either way, I was definitely on the proper seat for viewing this.
I actually got that feeling in my stomach you get when you go off the top of a bump and know that you are are going to be flying for a bit…. Amazing video.
Yes the speed is not exact for this course. I designed this video to give the viewer the "Feeling from the skier's perspective" of going 160kph, which is the record for speed in a World Cup downhill ski race set by Johan Clarey of France. His speed was actually clocked at 160.9kph. We couldn't find the average speed on Kitz every inch of the way down so we produced a speedometer for example only. I produced another video on skiing fast with our Canadian National Ski Team. You can find the video here: ruclips.net/video/SDUMEzf9dE8/видео.html I hope you all enjoy the experience. Even better when viewed with a VR headset.

This is fabulous. I’ve never skied the hahnenkamm but it brings back such fond memories of my ski racing years back in the 80s. I was cheering the whole way! I had a pair of 210cm Rossi 3G’s I used for super-g. Closest I came to a true downhill event. Thanks for this video!

Yep, I've clocked myself at 91kph and that was on a wide open slope only making 2-3 turns not a narrow course with hills and jumps you can't see over. Your heart rate definitely increases even if it doesn't 'feel' extremely fast while you are doing it, the intensity of focus is high and going 2x as fast is hard to imagine. I think I've gone over 100 kph by what it felt like but never measured myself at that speed.

As a fellow who has spent waaay more time on X-C skis than even bunny hills, this was great fun to watch. I have looked at downhill slopes....looked only...and I understand this: the average non-skier has no real sense of how steep those slopes really are. “No way anyone can ski down that.” But they do.
And that's absolutely crazy. TV coverage would benefit by placing more cameras where the viewer can get a sense of what you're talking about. Ratings would definitely increase. p.s. Can someone here explain the yellow flags that dot the course? They seem like obstacles.

Sensational thanks a million for posting! 160 kms is very very impressive even more so are the turns and the jumps.....I would love to ski this piste having skied many other classics but I have heard that it is the most difficult especially towards to top on the first jump.
Woah, what a great view - and yet so totally misleading. I know the Streif from real (whole length) and I am VERY sure I wouldn't even get to the Mausefalle alive in downhill mode but would disintegrate into the RB banner not making that first lefthander. Through the camera though it looks as if there is no problem. Mausefalle (0:09), 35 meter jump, piece of cake - Karussell/U-Turn (0:17), eeeeeasy - Steilhang (0:24), like a family slope - Brueckenschuss (0:33) - Gschoess (0:43) - Alte Schneise (0:56) all with closed eyes - Seidlalm (1:08), another 35 meter jump, waving to the boys 'n Girls sitting there - Laerchenschuss (1:18), time for admiring the landscape - Oberhausberg (1:36), short before falling asleep - Hausberg/Hausbergkante (1:42), once more 35 meter of flying just for fun - Traverse (1:50) - Zielhang (1:56), yes well - Zielsprung (2:03), ok this 70 meter (yesterday's run) jump was worth doing it. That is so mindboggingly crazy - everybody who survives this stunt is an absolute hero.
@@DavidBaker_WindfieldMedia VR goggles or video projected onto glasses connected to your phone. Individual media consumption is my hope for the future, with better (lighter) equipment maybe the need for large televisions can finally die.
Speed there is wrong! Max speed in Kitzbuehel is around 145 km/h in the lower part of the course just after traverse. They never go 140 km/h on Alpweg, which is pretty flat and the speed there is reduced to below 100 km/h. And the entry turn to Steilhang is also well below 100 km/h.
but the speed is exaggerated by the wide view camera angle, if they shot with camera that better mimics human eye we would get a more realistic sense of speed
I have skied this dozens of times; One of the scariest runs I know. it is so icy all the way down. I can do it in 4 mins 45 seconds. (Don't forget that there are loads of people on the piste).
Watching this race on TV, the steep faces and jumps seem like the scary parts. But from this angle, it’s being able to withstand the compression. Especially those near a fence!
I used to do DH and KL when I was young, I lived near the Saslong in Val Gardena. I still use DH skis, Rossignol 218 R50 custom made, even after I had an ACL 2 years ago ..
Man I'd love the chance to ski that exact run as fast as I can with a proper aerodynamic suit. Not to try and win a race; just as a personal challenge. Same reason I've rappelled off cliffs, jumped out of planes, scuba'd, etc. I know what breaking 130kph feels like because I've done that at radared events. But, those speeds have been on recreational shaped skis and wearing baggy powder shells and pants. In fact, by coincidence, I was just radared at 117 kph (73MPH) last week just messing around with buddies. We wanted to make sure we can all still ski faster than our age--I'll be 65 this weekend. After seeing this, I'm convinced I could keep it together on that course at close to 150. I really hope I can somehow make that happen before I get old... :-D
What’s the maximum degree of slope on that course? It didn’t seem all that steep but I’m sure some of that was just the perspective from the camera. When the pros race at North American resorts, are the downhill courses typically blue runs? They seem a bit long to be a black diamond run at any resort I’ve skied. I’d love to ski one of those pro downhill runs just to compare how much slower a decent amateur would be skiing it as a normal run versus a pro racing on it. Of course I wouldn’t be in any sort of aero race suit or stance, I wouldn’t be getting airborne, and the race wax applied to a single race ski would probably cost more than all the bars of wax in my tuning kit combined.
It's amazing how steep it looks when you look backwards for the whole race. It's an amazing view that even the skiers can't see... unless they are about to die.
About 40 years ago I raced a downhill on the OK course at Val d’Isere. Never went back until a couple of years ago, aged 56. I thought I’d go and have a look at the course I raced all those years ago By the beard of the prophet it was steep. What the hell was I thinking as a 17 year old.
I know well trained people have bigger volume per heartbeat and lower heartrate at rest (40-50) but it is impossible that their heartrate when starting is raising so slow - after the first 15-20 seconds it must be well over 100 and after about 40-50 seconds near maximum around 160-190 in pulse. When i was young (1994) and very well trained (170Hb) i was in Hahnenkamm and tried to ski the same slope and it took me almost 15 minutes (with 3 brief pauses for everyone to gather) and i probably had 120-150 in pulse almost all the way except when we paused. It is partly a really steep slope.
The shown kph are way too high for such a slow ride. I think this was the ORF camera rider. Top speed in Kitzbühel is at the final straight and is about 130kph.
@@williamb4652 Hello William B. It's interesting you commented on the data. As I mention in my introduction, this video was made to be a demonstration of how ski racing may look in the future on cellphones, tablets and TV. The discussion about data, whether or not to show biometrics, and if so, how much and where would it be on the screen. There is also lots of discussion about collecting biometrics from pro athletes. Some are all for it... some not at all. It's an interesting discussion. Could the viewer select to see data from a menu? And if so, what info would be suitable for public consumption vs. only for the coaches and doctors to see? This video got the discussion started and you may see something like this by 2026, with the onset of 5G cellular capabilities. We also have the sky in 360 so we can put other information there, such as the leaderboard samples we used in this video. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.

Reminds me of my snow boarding days

The speed throughout the course is totally incorrect. Sometimes they may hit 140 just before the end.

but wide angle camera enhanced the sense of speed, they should have shot it with lens that mimics human eye better

Never went back until a couple of years ago, aged 56. I thought I’d go and have a look at the course I raced all those years ago
By the beard of the prophet it was steep. What the hell was I thinking as a 17 year old.
its because the camera is parallel to the slope, not showing angle from the side of the hill.
I know well trained people have bigger volume per heartbeat and lower heartrate at rest (40-50) but it is impossible that their heartrate when starting is raising so slow - after the first 15-20 seconds it must be well over 100 and after about 40-50 seconds near maximum around 160-190 in pulse.
When i was young (1994) and very well trained (170Hb) i was in Hahnenkamm and tried to ski the same slope and it took me almost 15 minutes (with 3 brief pauses for everyone to gather) and i probably had 120-150 in pulse almost all the way except when we paused. It is partly a really steep slope.
He was almost going 100 miles a hour!
WoooHooo!!!! That was badass!!!!
wow, seems so much longer when "you are" actually running it.
Funny thing is that these videos don't really show the full extent of the danger and skills required.
The shown kph are way too high for such a slow ride. I think this was the ORF camera rider. Top speed in Kitzbühel is at the final straight and is about 130kph.
More like 150kph on the Zielsprung
Big deal, I can do this in my sleep. Of course, that's the only place I can do it, because if I tried it in real life I'd be dead in about 20 seconds.
I'm the one who taught the guy how to ski
That was a workout!
I am now even more disappointed Salzburg didn't get to host the 2010 Winter Olympics.
New high score how many points do I get?
This is a great video, but still quite difficult to understand how steep it actually is, it looks quite harmless here.
Try looking backwards. I think it may seem less sleepy when you watch the snow vapour trail 😆
My brain thought I did not make the first turn and I fell down with a 3600 degree rotation
This was amazing until I got bored
Daaaaaam👍🏻
The speedway is totally wrong
Yes you are right. Please see my comment above.
Too much data to do 360 degree in HD maybe
@@williamb4652 Hello William B. It's interesting you commented on the data. As I mention in my introduction, this video was made to be a demonstration of how ski racing may look in the future on cellphones, tablets and TV. The discussion about data, whether or not to show biometrics, and if so, how much and where would it be on the screen. There is also lots of discussion about collecting biometrics from pro athletes. Some are all for it... some not at all. It's an interesting discussion. Could the viewer select to see data from a menu? And if so, what info would be suitable for public consumption vs. only for the coaches and doctors to see? This video got the discussion started and you may see something like this by 2026, with the onset of 5G cellular capabilities. We also have the sky in 360 so we can put other information there, such as the leaderboard samples we used in this video. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.
I miss Ski Sunday
