I raced there. Belive me, the deep-holes-and-sneaky-roots carpet hiding under the dust between the trees is just killing. Maybe the hardest part of the race for the arms. Portions from 11:18 to 11:36 and even more from 12:16 to 12:37. Even with the best suspension settings, it's like riding on a jackhammer-bike.
My favorite was when he yelled at the guy who cut in front of him about fighting for 150 millionth place or whatever, and how bullshit it was, then like 5 seconds later is doing it to someone else lol.
@@GhettoSuguru i think he's talking about the brakes on his bike. they're burning 'cause he's using them too much, implying the guy in front of his is going too slow

@@antdx316 i take it you've been in a similar race on similar terrain on a similar bike and counter-steering. The "mountain bike people" who take on this race, on this terrain, and on these bikes obviously know how to ride a bike better than your average Joe/Tony. It's just that when you're moving 30mph on a decline that would normally probably see skiiers, and doing so on wheels makes the counter-steering less than optimally effective. They know how to ride a bike. That shit just doesn't work when you're going that fast. You just slide, and it takes a long time for you to actually start to turn. You can see that if you watch closely. I know this from riding mountain bikes around on frozen lakes as a kid. You can turn and counter-steer all you want, but it isn't gonna change the direction you're heading. That's how these guys ended up on the side and on their faces. Lastly, in response to your arrogant comment, i would ask you, why respond to someone's comment about a false start with some nonsense about counter-steering on snow? It's irrelevant to the joke of the OP. Make your own comment next time instead of piggybacking on someone else.
@@CP4884 It's not my fault people are inexperienced. On a motorbike at speeds above 25mph you need to counter-steer but if you are scared to do it for fear of going the wrong way due to inexperience what can you do?
@@antdx316 It's not inexperience or an inability to counter steer. Obviously you're inexperienced when it comes to flying down the side of a snow covered mountain on a mountain bike. You CAN'T counter-steer is what i'm trying to tell ya. It just doesn't work. You just drift and slide in a straight-ish line. Not to mention your wheels are grabbing at every little divot in the terrain that makes your bike want to careen and send you flying.
@@antdx316 The problem is that you're trying to compare something that weighs 20lbs and has tires that are 3" wide with something that weighs 600lbs, has tires 8" wide, and is on asphalt...not snow. Grow a brain, lose the arrogance. You couldn't do what these guys are doing. You just don't have the requirements. Those requirements being balls and skill.

I copied mine from another user but just found a link here www.quora.com/Which-picture-is-the-best-Facebook-profile-picture The resolution might appear crappy, but mine was similar, but still works fine given the size of the pic when used.
If I could go back in time before I had a family and a business then maybe I'd do that. At the back where I could go slower. It'd still be a rush. I ski stuff tougher than that but it isn't a race with people crashing directly in front of me.
He also comments on people over taking him on the trails "oh that's naughty. Some people obviously fighting for 150millionth." While he is also trying his best to overtake other riders. Funny!
"Some guys are fighting for 150M, I just want to get down the mountain at this stage" 15mins later... "COME ON DUDE MY BREAKS ARE FUCKING BURNING" as he slide cancels down the mountain full sweat.
We are pro at watching these vids tho... ;-) Damn what a rush, wasn't sure how good he was till the second half when others were actually slowing him down... Nice Work!!!
*me watching this with my Fiancee* Her: omg they're going so fast... OMG they're getting run over... OMG LOOK AT THOSE ROCKS!!! OMG THATS SO STEEP!!! Promise me you'll never do anything this stupid! Me: I must do this race....
Isn't it supposed to be quite hard doing that stuff at speed? You see helicopters wiping out while just hovering. I wonder if speed adds inertia and therefore some stability but really it just wants to spin so to hang in a strafe like that tracking riders whilst supposedly having awareness of a million other things is pretty sick surely?
I mean in theory a chopper can fly any which way, just check out RC helicopters. Normally you don't fly that way, since the tail rotor has a much harder job keeping the heli from spinning out. And also, why would you?
The guy he says that about it LITERALLY the guy he does the exact same thing to earlier in the video at 5:54 hahaha EDIT 6:48 for people who don't know what we are talking about.
Far out.. I don't know how fast they were going, but the shaking of the GoPro must have made it look way worse. Or, unless, they were actually going crazy fast.
A lot of others were making the noises to let others know they're trying or going to pass them. When it got less hectic, he started to say which side he was trying to pass on. Just wanted to let others know. You know, just in case someone didn't get it.
Ironic, on a part where it is wide open and smooth he questions people who are going fast and he wouldn't do that, yet farther down where it is rocky, narrow and turns he is complaining about the other person going slow. I am sure that person is thinking what Ben was at the top of the hill. He'll go as fast as he feels comfortable for that area.
@@dylanssobeautiful1898 obviously, but a lot of jokes have truth to them, and when a joke like that is said, it should have some accuracy in it. so could have been worded better.
Nah, he wasn't fighting for pole position the whole video, he was trying to get around slow fuckers that were wasting him energy because he had to brake and then pedal again which will fatigue your muscles allot quicker instead of using the momentum of gravity and just letting it roll. the one guy wasn't letting him pass or couldn't because it was on twisty turns but after he got past him he was able to manage his energy a bit better for the rest of the track until he came across another road block. In his mind he wasn't fighting for first, just finishing the race, this event looks and sounds exhausting since majority of the time you're trying to keep balance which is were most of your energy is getting burnt. People may think its easy because its downhill but that's not true when the terrain is rocky...it costs more energy to stabilize yourself.
Came for huge Avalanche, stayed for the Adrenaline-filled 16 minutes of Australian downhill madness. Incredible race. What kind of bikes are required to carry riders and the humongous size balls required to get to the end? Damn. My heart is still pumping.
The snow part looked fun. Even the crash looked fun. Probably hurts like hell but hey, any crash you can get up and ride off is a fun crash. The rock part looked horrible but the forest looked awesome, damn the trails are wide there and so flowy. Of course , if I ever get to do that, I'd probably go pretty slow and just have fun, honestly I'd probably come in last no matter how hard I try
@@Rose_Butterfly98 I know of a bike that could take a hit or two. The rockrider XC100S, an alloy 120mm full sus XC bike with an NX eagle drivetrain. The thing with that bike is that it can fit 27.5+ wheels, 27.5 and 29", so I could fit 27.5'x2.8 and I would survive, in theory. Also, it's cheap! A full sus with an NX 12 speed drivetrain, Manitou Markhor 120mm tapered Boost fork, a Manitou Radium shock, and 12.8kg, all for 1300€!
@@Fred_the_1996 my friend has a 120mm full sus rockrider too , I think it's the st 560, but the parts are different for some reason. The bike will survive but Idk if a person will . I didn't really see any big drops. It's kinda funny that Btwin puts it as an xc but my 120mm Siskiu D7 is a trail bike .
This video really sums up the mega avalanche experience. Carnage, frustration never ending trails and the feeling of exhaustion at the end. The start music gets me pumped everytime. All the people commenting about the shouting at other riders have obviously never ridden a track this long. Shouting is the only way to pass safely, when basically ever rider is super tired and solely concentrating on getting to the finish and not worrying about people behind them.
funny because its like two totally different races.....this guy seems like he's about to die at the end and Damien (the winner) is barely even breathing hard!
HAHA.. dood, watching it the first time I was like "Hey, cool heli fly-by." Watching it after your comment... I don't think anyone will ever be able to make me laugh again.
The problem when a competitor is misplaced in the group by an early accident. You are faster than **everyone** near you, but that is not enough. You need to get past them, too!
Of course you'll swear and take the piss when you're competitive like that and under constant pressure, always looking for millisecond opportunities to pass & missing a ton of them, swearing can actually HELP you handle pressure situations. I don't doubt he loved it
@@lebron269 it's not an opinion it's actually been shown in studies as accurate information and he's responding to the people talking about how much he's swearing and whatnot
Seriously cant understand these discussions in the comments. If someone is infront of you its common practice to shout "rider", "on the left" or so to the rider in front. Take a look at 13:14 as a perfect example how its done. And if you look how many cuts it needed till he passed the other guy it shows how long it took till he could overtake. In a race i can totally understand that its frustrating and on somepoint your breaks overheat due to accordeon effect and it wears you down even more than it does anyway. So dont make such a drama out of this, its still a race and a tiny little bit more stressful than a chill day at the bikepark...
I don't think people are shocked at him saying "rider", it's more the fact that he took the piss out of one guy for passing him saying he was "fighting for 150 millionth place" and then got a bit further down and swore at this guy cos he couldn't get past.
in Cross country/harescrambe/hard enduro dirt bike racing its common practice to let a faster rider pass even pro hard enduro guys in third place have let the 4th person go in front of them so they are not battling to keep his spot intern losing energy
Philip Wächter it's just people who don't know what they're talking about and don't know how passing is done in MTB races. One guy was using "they don't let you pass in f1!" as his argument as if that the was somehow relevant.
This is true of MTBing in general....but It's a RACE and the riders in front are vying and racing for the same position, so under what obligation or trail etiquette should a rider just simply pull over and 'gift' the position they already fought hard for? Thats literally 'a day at the bike park' and the very opposite of racing. Just like literally ANY other human-powered sport or indeed motorsport, you have to look for or create the opportunity to make the pass (however frustrating that might be), you can't just drive/ride/swim/run/row up to the person in front and yell at them "im behind you, time to pull over and gift me your position". The POV footage was amazing but the attitude and arrogance was verging on embarrassing........"even though i'm behind you, i think i'm faster, therefore I will yell and cuss at you until you pull over so I can take your race position", then on to the next one. *sigh*.
@mk lkj What has competing got to do with whining? Dude did whine a lot. You hurt your shoulder and you want to continue on racing. Stop complaining get on with it then seek help at the bottom.
It does matter and the principle* is not the same. There are places where it's safe to pass and there's places where it isn't. For whatever reason, there's a ton of people that seem to be commenting on this video that have no idea about the rules and culture of downhill MTB racing. There's certain things that are frowned upon or outright illegal in many places, one of which is not letting faster riders pass - another is attempting to pass in an unsafe spot. Doing either of these things will get you DQ'ed and/or banned in a lot of races. These races are competitive, but above all there is supposed to be an emphasis on safety which starts with having respect for other riders and their safety. This sport is dangerous enough without cutting people off or trying to squeeze past them in an unsafe area... just because it didn't end badly in this situation doesn't make it ok or acceptable and no serious racer would have any issue with him voicing his displeasure for either that pass or the guy who wouldn't get over further down the trail.
BlakeRocks52 people are people.we are all a little toxic,dickish,rude and everything else from time to time..for me it just makes the video authentic.ussally the creator self censors,knowing that the video will be uploaded...he was just to excited/amped up to do so.
that is just competitive attitude, just doing what you have to do to keep your head in it, keep you driving forward. cant think nice when you want to take that persons trophy away. crush their dreams... Battling for 1st or 29th its all the same.
Mason LaChance It’s pretty easy: close your fucking mouth and don’t talk. I probably would’ve complained too a couple of times but this dude complained about everything.
Only real whining I reviewed in this video is this particular comment section. He’s worked hard and it’s a competition, why shouldn’t he when he’s trying to rationalize how quickly he’s getting down? I’d be muttering shit as well as I get down even without my GoPro, I’m sure a lot of the winners did as well.
@@RhyhornTV First he is complaining about the guy in black and yellow "fighting to be the 150 millionth" but then is rude towards others who he is fighting with for his own position. Either accept that others are taking it serious aswell or accept that you made it hard on yourself by falling early on in the race. The way he does is not how sportsmen should behave.

At that point he just want to finish the race that's why he might try to pace some people
Ironic, on a part where it is wide open and smooth he questions people who are going fast and he wouldn't do that, yet farther down where it is rocky, narrow and turns he is complaining about the other person going slow.
I am sure that person is thinking what Ben was at the top of the hill. He'll go as fast as he feels comfortable for that area.
I came from the video of the guy who won this race, and I knew I had to search for someone who was in the middle of the chaos... was not disappointed
same shit,good shit. loved when they pile up like a shit :D
honestly this vid is hilarious
The beginning js always my favorite part. Nothing like going full speed down a steep snowy mountain to make your adrenaline rush!
So that is why men die so early compared to women.
Lol, you believe that the majority of men who died early did this type of biking?
@@joshuatheall2035 guess what its a joke
@@dylanssobeautiful1898 obviously, but a lot of jokes have truth to them, and when a joke like that is said, it should have some accuracy in it. so could have been worded better.
@@joshuatheall2035 r/whoosh
@@classymuffin4589 Obviously I get it's a joke. just a horrible one.
I died when he said . " ballsie, fighting for 150 millionth." Hahahaha
Lol yeah, all the while hes doing the exact same shit all video.
Yep ... quite funny :D.
Spe ggy he said he’s just trying to get off
Time?
Nah, he wasn't fighting for pole position the whole video, he was trying to get around slow fuckers that were wasting him energy because he had to brake and then pedal again which will fatigue your muscles allot quicker instead of using the momentum of gravity and just letting it roll. the one guy wasn't letting him pass or couldn't because it was on twisty turns but after he got past him he was able to manage his energy a bit better for the rest of the track until he came across another road block.
In his mind he wasn't fighting for first, just finishing the race, this event looks and sounds exhausting since majority of the time you're trying to keep balance which is were most of your energy is getting burnt. People may think its easy because its downhill but that's not true when the terrain is rocky...it costs more energy to stabilize yourself.
01:57 The right guy is the Ferrari of bikes
hahaha holy snap. that guy gave 0 fucks
isnt that the doctor that doped Armstrong?
I’ve never seen this guys tactic of whining his way in front of riders before...Seemed to work quite well for him.
Good race mate!

"This is fooking dangerous!"
underrated
seat still wasnt adjusted :)))
Me: Ya think?
too late to give up...
Tegan Burns are you the guy who went skydiving
2:15 Was the very moment you knew death was coming lmao. That crash was epic, full send into the snow wall. Lad.
Oblivion sure wasn't a half send. 👍
XD
The "snow" out there is hard as ice. Hurts like hell.
that was hilarious when that guy dove to avoid your bike
Oblivion that was an ice wall
Came for huge Avalanche, stayed for the Adrenaline-filled 16 minutes of Australian downhill madness. Incredible race.
What kind of bikes are required to carry riders and the humongous size balls required to get to the end? Damn. My heart is still pumping.
DJ BIS Mate, I can tell you this isn’t bloody Australia
NZ?
Try France
I think it’s NZ
France for the location, true, but the riders, not Australian either?
The snow part looked fun. Even the crash looked fun. Probably hurts like hell but hey, any crash you can get up and ride off is a fun crash.
The rock part looked horrible but the forest looked awesome, damn the trails are wide there and so flowy.
Of course , if I ever get to do that, I'd probably go pretty slow and just have fun, honestly I'd probably come in last no matter how hard I try
I'm tied of the constant bad language. Now and again ok but not constant. I'm no prude and can swear with the best
I'd take my XC bike and just kill my wrists, but at least I'd be super fast on the climbs
@@Fred_the_1996 I'd be worried about surviving till the climbs lol.
@@Rose_Butterfly98 I know of a bike that could take a hit or two. The rockrider XC100S, an alloy 120mm full sus XC bike with an NX eagle drivetrain. The thing with that bike is that it can fit 27.5+ wheels, 27.5 and 29", so I could fit 27.5'x2.8 and I would survive, in theory. Also, it's cheap! A full sus with an NX 12 speed drivetrain, Manitou Markhor 120mm tapered Boost fork, a Manitou Radium shock, and 12.8kg, all for 1300€!
@@Fred_the_1996 my friend has a 120mm full sus rockrider too , I think it's the st 560, but the parts are different for some reason.
The bike will survive but Idk if a person will .
I didn't really see any big drops.
It's kinda funny that Btwin puts it as an xc but my 120mm Siskiu D7 is a trail bike .
This video really sums up the mega avalanche experience. Carnage, frustration never ending trails and the feeling of exhaustion at the end. The start music gets me pumped everytime. All the people commenting about the shouting at other riders have obviously never ridden a track this long. Shouting is the only way to pass safely, when basically ever rider is super tired and solely concentrating on getting to the finish and not worrying about people behind them.
WAtching this video made me burn 37000 calories.
Come on your ass to a bicycle or shut up

I found myself leaning with every turn he made. Great content.

fair enough thought this was going to be some porno irl but turns out you was not lying gg :)
funny because its like two totally different races.....this guy seems like he's about to die at the end and Damien (the winner) is barely even breathing hard!
ruclips.net/video/Dpnh6yLj_OA/видео.html
this guy would have taken 1st if he didnt get wiped out then stuck on the side.
2:10 is my favourite part, the acceleration combined with having absolutely no control over the bike gives me excitement chills.
8:45 the true mvp XD
Nah I would've let that dude stay thirsty so he wouldn't be bitching about not being able to pass people.
Poizon I think he means the guy in green next to him the guy look like he doesn’t give a fuck he one hand driving 😂.
Poizon
You're not in his position, so you don't deserve saying thing like that.
He got his own reason to join in this kind of event.
This was one of the most aesthetically pleasing videos I've watched in a while... Thank you.
3:38 Helicopter.exe has stopped working
darn they need to fix this bugs
@ Riddick Oz
Na it can't ya dumb fuck; a pilot can fly a helicopter like that but the helicopter sure as shit doesn't do it on its own.
o_o

@ANBPyro
I am familiar with it but that is not the helicopter in this video; still thanks for linking that, it's a cool video.
HAHA.. dood, watching it the first time I was like "Hey, cool heli fly-by." Watching it after your comment... I don't think anyone will ever be able to make me laugh again.
The problem when a competitor is misplaced in the group by an early accident.
You are faster than **everyone** near you, but that is not enough. You need to get past them, too!
Seriously though he could have gone way faster if not for that guy in the trees
Had the same thought, *everybody* around him is slow, no escape but around them.
Best POV on the internet.... (Even considering adult content! 😂)
i had to tilt my head and shit what you on about
The Crashing Dad bad ass%!
You have to check this out then, it's the pov of the winner ruclips.net/video/Dpnh6yLj_OA/видео.html

i came into this thinking everyone was trying to survive a mega avalanche. I was right! Well done
5 dudes turned left accidently off the cliff... They made it down the hill first..but not near the finish line.
Wow man...fantastic job. You must be in really good shape to handle all that. Looks like a TON of fun though.
Impressive and enjoyable to watch.
Didn’t look like he had fun at all
He is ex military

With added cussing and other sounds.
I got a good laugh out of that one.
Agreed! LMAO
Just like the invasion of Normandy.
The solders went from wanting to win to wanting to survive.
Awesome video.
3:38 That helicopter looks hilariously fake for some reason ;dd
It was just a safety heli
lol everything is always fake on the internet right
It was looking the way of the riders
Thats what im saying lmaoo!😂😂😂

Skis are a great invention my friend
they don't work so well on dirt

*Imagine skiing there at that moment, not expecting that*
2:18 4 years now and still love this video 😂😂😂
This dudes endurance is amazing. He was breathing heavy the whole time. After my first heavy breath I would have taken a lonnnngggg break lol
Of course you'll swear and take the piss when you're competitive like that and under constant pressure, always looking for millisecond opportunities to pass & missing a ton of them, swearing can actually HELP you handle pressure situations. I don't doubt he loved it
Lol okay nobody asked for your opinion
@@lebron269 it's not an opinion it's actually been shown in studies as accurate information and he's responding to the people talking about how much he's swearing and whatnot
Seriously cant understand these discussions in the comments. If someone is infront of you its common practice to shout "rider", "on the left" or so to the rider in front. Take a look at 13:14 as a perfect example how its done. And if you look how many cuts it needed till he passed the other guy it shows how long it took till he could overtake. In a race i can totally understand that its frustrating and on somepoint your breaks overheat due to accordeon effect and it wears you down even more than it does anyway. So dont make such a drama out of this, its still a race and a tiny little bit more stressful than a chill day at the bikepark...
I don't think people are shocked at him saying "rider", it's more the fact that he took the piss out of one guy for passing him saying he was "fighting for 150 millionth place" and then got a bit further down and swore at this guy cos he couldn't get past.
those people are just not willing to make pass from a fast rider from, i guess they are all biginners
in Cross country/harescrambe/hard enduro dirt bike racing its common practice to let a faster rider pass even pro hard enduro guys in third place have let the 4th person go in front of them so they are not battling to keep his spot intern losing energy
Philip Wächter it's just people who don't know what they're talking about and don't know how passing is done in MTB races. One guy was using "they don't let you pass in f1!" as his argument as if that the was somehow relevant.
This is true of MTBing in general....but It's a RACE and the riders in front are vying and racing for the same position, so under what obligation or trail etiquette should a rider just simply pull over and 'gift' the position they already fought hard for? Thats literally 'a day at the bike park' and the very opposite of racing. Just like literally ANY other human-powered sport or indeed motorsport, you have to look for or create the opportunity to make the pass (however frustrating that might be), you can't just drive/ride/swim/run/row up to the person in front and yell at them "im behind you, time to pull over and gift me your position". The POV footage was amazing but the attitude and arrogance was verging on embarrassing........"even though i'm behind you, i think i'm faster, therefore I will yell and cuss at you until you pull over so I can take your race position", then on to the next one. *sigh*.
That looks fun and terrifying at the same time.

loooooooool
I’ve never been glued to video like I have with this one. This is so cool to watch. Good adrenaline rush hahah
....And no one is talking about that helicopter?
Ikr especially those helicopter matrix at 3:38
It's essentially to supervise the race, and call for help in dangerous situations
Jake17747 Id have lost my mind seeing that!
What about it?
3:38
This guy is braver than me, but man he whines allot
Right? It's just a bit of pain mate. Be glad your bike is OK and you're not walking the whole way.
@mk lkj What has competing got to do with whining? Dude did whine a lot. You hurt your shoulder and you want to continue on racing. Stop complaining get on with it then seek help at the bottom.
that was the best part . love this dude cause of his whining,,if he was quiet this would be too boring
MїĈhÃЭĹ ĴoЯđÃй but i mean sometimes people dont mean to whine, they intentionally whine to relieve stress
he only whinged a few times. the editing makes it seems like he did it all teh tim,e. actually i take that back nevermind
Complaining about other riders running around him "literally fighting for 150 millionth place", then 3 seconds later doing the same thing himself.
thats what pissed me off.
His brakes were fuhkin' burhnin' though!
he's not complaining about the guy passing him, he's complaining about where and how he chose to do it.
Buttfart does not really matter because the principal is the same...
It does matter and the principle* is not the same. There are places where it's safe to pass and there's places where it isn't. For whatever reason, there's a ton of people that seem to be commenting on this video that have no idea about the rules and culture of downhill MTB racing. There's certain things that are frowned upon or outright illegal in many places, one of which is not letting faster riders pass - another is attempting to pass in an unsafe spot. Doing either of these things will get you DQ'ed and/or banned in a lot of races. These races are competitive, but above all there is supposed to be an emphasis on safety which starts with having respect for other riders and their safety. This sport is dangerous enough without cutting people off or trying to squeeze past them in an unsafe area... just because it didn't end badly in this situation doesn't make it ok or acceptable and no serious racer would have any issue with him voicing his displeasure for either that pass or the guy who wouldn't get over further down the trail.
The way these people communicate, I love it!
Is it just me or does he seem kind of toxic?? Mad when people squeeze past him but does it all the time to other people
yeahh
BlakeRocks52 people are people.we are all a little toxic,dickish,rude and everything else from time to time..for me it just makes the video authentic.ussally the creator self censors,knowing that the video will be uploaded...he was just to excited/amped up to do so.
Thing is, he doesn't say get out of my way like bright and yellow. He asks, and if they don't let, he'll go past when the roads open
That's an English man for ye
that is just competitive attitude, just doing what you have to do to keep your head in it, keep you driving forward. cant think nice when you want to take that persons trophy away. crush their dreams... Battling for 1st or 29th its all the same.
Every time i skipped ahead, he was crying about something else...
Mason LaChance It’s pretty easy: close your fucking mouth and don’t talk. I probably would’ve complained too a couple of times but this dude complained about everything.
LostMyShadesAgain he said it for the views
Only real whining I reviewed in this video is this particular comment section. He’s worked hard and it’s a competition, why shouldn’t he when he’s trying to rationalize how quickly he’s getting down? I’d be muttering shit as well as I get down even without my GoPro, I’m sure a lot of the winners did as well.
@@RhyhornTV First he is complaining about the guy in black and yellow "fighting to be the 150 millionth" but then is rude towards others who he is fighting with for his own position. Either accept that others are taking it serious aswell or accept that you made it hard on yourself by falling early on in the race. The way he does is not how sportsmen should behave.
Typical Pom!
I'm surprised dem wheels still work
Yeah these kind of bikes are designed to endure these kinds of things

What bikes you guys riding! I want a tough bike like that LOL
Norco Range, Trek Remedy, Kona Operator, NS Soda Evo, Santa Cruz Bronson, Cube Stereo, Giant Glory anything along those lines you can't go wrong ;D Can pick some really good 2nd hand bikes up on Pinkbike for less than £1,000 , I hope this helps a bit to help you get an idea.
P D Not this one but it's on my list 😂 Currently finding balls big enough 😂 I've done the small version "macavalanche" up Scotland
downhill bikes are tougher than regulars
Never done anything like this before but I am ready to take shit on. I have very little endurance apart from that I'd be willing to ride that shit.
DH (DownHill) or Enduro's.
