if you are cruising it takes you 1.5 hours to get to the hotel :) from the top (3300M) but this run was shit.. i did this before it was cool.. less traffic / people in 10-11-12-2015
This vid prouve that you can not win mega when you start far from top riders in terms of line. I raced it in the early 2000's. Was on the last line in qualies. Manage to qualify into finals but my starting line sucked again. This vid remind's me my own mega (apart the start from the glacier).
Enduro bike. 150-180mm travel. Sam's Nukeproof is a 27.5" wheel, 165mm rear travel bike. versatile, decent climbing / ass kicking descending. you BMX guys comeover and immedietely crush at this stuff. limitless terrain on the big wheels and suspension with BMX skillset. join us bud !!
Yeah dude bmx skills translate VERY well to mtb. I started out with bmx myself and when I first got a mtb my friends were blown away by how good I was first ride. You'll have an easy transition and you'll likely never look back. Welcome to mtb!
i HATE when someone slower wont let others by..... UR GONNA GET T-BONED IN A MINUTE MATE...........................Fuc..n LOOOOVE it bro love it.. He pulled over after that comment.. LMAO
Nonsense contest... 10:44 i would f*ck that guy up for holding me. You can't "race" like that. They should let them go 10 at a time and compare their times. Not letting go 400 men at once. You have no chance at all to win if you are not in the first 2 row..
OMG i hate it when i have to over take 1 person walking their dog on the path i ride on , i couldnt handle so many people battling it out like that. im getting triggered just watching this lol. Awesome to watch tho . when it comes to racing MTB i would make a good spectator .=p
maybe think about telling people you are passing on their right or left instead of sneaking up and fucking up their line...how many people did Sam fuck up by just slamming by them?
When Sam finally passes that guy around 12:10 its like he's going into warp speed - unbelievable how quick the pros are
The transformation is brilliant, ... entering another dimension. No stalling anymore, now it's flying.
It was a coincidence. The guy let him pass at a point where a straight steep track begins.
YES! But it don't make too much sense to fall back 100 places at the beginning, than work so hard to better your position...
sams the quickest
that moment was ridiculous haha and there were many more
Wonder what that guys thoughts were when he realised he was holding up Sam Hill.
This is the most epic bike race! Definitely on my budget list🏁🏁🏁
Have to do the Megavalance once in my life looks super sick. The start is always like a War😂
13:30, this was the moment when I knew for sure that this is indeed the man, Sam Hill
Normally the king of lines but that high ridge line off the start was a right turkey, must of lost 50 places in about 10 seconds
"gonna get T-Boned in a minute bud" hahaha....
Time stamp?
The Hucking Hernandez 12:08
Wonder if he knows he's now "The guy that held up Sam Hill"
21:00 Idk how that guy kept pace after that. I'd have had to stop and gather my balls for a second 😂😂
It must be a nightmare having Sam Hill behind you😆
I wouldn't bother haha
When your coffee kicks in 7:09
😂
13:30 sick lineee!!
he crazy lmao
It’s really crazy how fast these guys are going on a BICYCLE 🚲
Was Sam testing out the new nukeproof ebikes..
Man, you need to be shouting Sam Hill right or Sam Hill Left :) :)
haha, but maybe they'll freak out, have a heart attack, freeze-up, jump ship and crash !
Name dropping yourself seems really pretentious and all but no, he's ACTUALLY that fast
Man, this Sam guy is the most popular bloke in the race!
Come you big baggutte😂😂classic
The best race on the planet no doubt !
Do we even have hills this big in Aus to practice on? This decent goes on forever.

Why did Sam Hill have to start at the back of the pack? He would have probably set a course record if not for all the traffic to contend with.
He had a puncture whilst leading in qualifying so started a little further back. you struggle if your not qualifying on the front row
@@NukeProofBikes1 but he's Sam Hill. he should get automatic front row.

He found amazingly many spots for overtakings.
They should have just let sam start at the front and see if anyone could keep up
2:00 smart guy in red
😂😂 yeah
You going to get T-Boned in a minute bud... Gold
Dominic Da Silva a polite way to say excuse me, I would like to get by now!
baguette guy was in his way... it's Sam Hill!
Nukeproof that waynes world reference 😂
wow that looks intence but also very tempting but dam very crowded start line
you know's it :)
I am new to MTB....BMX rider! What type of bikes are these? Enduro, trail, downhill mtb?

Wish there was a way to know when the go pro is dirty. Last bit was ruined because of the dust and water. Good race tho.
hmm. there is...it's called looking(or replay), but they don't have time for that. I know, I know.
7:11 e-bike confirmed
12:16 fast-forward ON
Awesome run.Loved it.👍
Sam hill should have just yelled I’m Sam Hill move out the way mate...
the same venue where oton raced but different starting?
What was Sam doing at the back in the start?
i HATE when someone slower wont let others by..... UR GONNA GET T-BONED IN A MINUTE MATE...........................Fuc..n LOOOOVE it bro love it.. He pulled over after that comment.. LMAO
2:33. Working smarter not harder. Lol!
Ahahahha. dirty dog. ..... Ye bastard. Good stuff.
The real inside line... 😎
Did Sam race in 2018? Would love to see how he handled the snow!
I need to know what brakes same is using
Sam doesn't know what brakes are...
They look like guides
Que tenes en esas patas,un motor a Nitrogeno?Imprecionante!!!(R.S.P)
wow. makes a ton of passes, on the pedals, on flat or non-tech areas. dude is fit fit strong strong strong!
Nice ride!
Great riding - but aren't you meant to shout RIDER RIDER!
That dude laying in the track?..
every time he went downhill they got in his way . nice
that looks like crazy fun
01:04 just a English man wishing a blessed day.
must be really frustrating for sam riding behind all those guys with 50% of his normal speed. :D
its crazy how much faster he is in the downhill sections than the guys around him
@@reizhustenistdoof the shitty thing is the biggest discrepancy is the technical downhill sections but that’s where you see precious little passing
My heart rate was constantly at around 180bpm, during this video 😵😂
28:28 Taken on the second last corner "Oh fuck off"
1:19 dude with the red backpack had no idea.
medic ^^
Brilliant !!
when is a shortcut not a shortcut @ 0:28
Cannot skip corner's..!!!!!
Allez Sam!
sin posiciones no tiene gravia para seguior viendo
12:16 auto accelerate LoL. like 2x playing speed
nice
12:08

they all are crazy))
BLUE FLAGS
F**k me that was loose!

Awesome to watch tho . when it comes to racing MTB i would make a good spectator .=p
Yeah, you have to wonder what half of them are even doing there.
heaven! :)
Не люблю когда поджимают, под жостеим склоном вниз
27:27 ye, push people off mountains, who cares...
you wouldnt want to be the poor sod holding up sam hill would you?
22:00 going downhill, he overpasses them, as soon as they start pedaling, everybody passes him...
Sam Hill has concrete muscle thighs!!!! 🤭🤭🤭
That start sucks. Go Sam
Cats in a sack.
100th comment 😂👏🏻👏🏻
When you pick a line at the start.......... Then realise its horse shit!
Great start...stopped watching after 20 seconds
then what was the point clicking the video? or even taking the time to comment this? weird guy u are david...
10:33: CHEATER
maybe think about telling people you are passing on their right or left instead of sneaking up and fucking up their line...how many people did Sam fuck up by just slamming by them?
