I do wish that someone would invent a better, faster, more controlled method of sliding down a snow-covered slope.

He is so humble and underrated too.

And he's got that next-level eye for locations & mise-en-scene that add up to crazy-memorable visuals too. Nobody makes me want to pack up my bike and travel quite the way Bron does!

This is not new to Megavalanche, how about the dual slalom and chainless race ;-) ?

Crazy gap between the top 2 and the rest. Not as crazy as the gap between number 5 and me though. I thought 75 km/h was crazy...

A long , long time ago I hit 65 mph down a mountain pass on a road bike and put my arms up when I hit that mark.

Meh. The first couple x-games had dh mtb in it and several riders went faster than this at Snow Summit. The spiked tires and skin suits probably helped, but they were hauling for sure. I think the fastest was near 70mph.

So cool, but the dad in me just shakes his head and says this is too dangerous.

Around 3% of the maximum velocity of an M4 Carbine fired into a 4 mph head wind in damp conditions.
