Ive never had so many laughs being involved in so much carnage and crashing. Looking back at the footage I laugh my head off, SOOO funny. Got crashed into from behind or shunted from the side several times, the first one resulting in my bike stopping way up on the steep glacier and having to play frogger trying to dodge flying bikes and bodies while climbing back up the steep glacier back to get it (watch the footage, its hilarious). I then got right off the brakes and over took most of the riders that passed me while going back for the bike, just to get hit twice again lower down (the glacier is so steep I couldn’t stop sliding!!!), with the second impact busting my derailer, shifter and all the body armour on my right hand side, so my mega race was pretty much over from then, as I was stuck in the hardest gear for all the pedalling and climbing. My quickest time in practice was 52 minutes which would have got me in the top 100, but that’s racing. Result aside, Mega was one of the best experiences ive ever had on a bike, and some of the most inspiring trails I have EVER seen. Already planning for next year, as ive got a ton of new riding buddies from all around the world, and cant wait to come back. Alot more vids to come…
