Another year, another Mountain of Hell video. Like last year the weather was great although the glacier was icier this time, which caused the massive crash at the bottom. Having incurred a 15-second time penalty in qualifying for accidentally missing a gate, I started back on row 26. This meant the pile-up had already occurred before I got to it and was able to thread my way through the carnage. My progress on the snow wasn't great and I also had a couple of minor falls which cost me time but a lack of decent fitness (and also asthma) were what really left me with a finishing time of 1 hour 10 minutes. However, as every year it's still great fun!
The Mountain of Hell takes place every July in Les Deux Alpes, France. Shot using a Garmin Virb Ultra 30 camera stabilized by an Evo SS wearable gimbal on the Stuntman chest harness. Bike is a 2017 Specialized Enduro. Were you there, too? How did your race go? Did you avoid the carnage? Leave a comment below :)
