When Blake Samson got an invite to ride the Megavalanche, he jumped at the chance to take it on again. To mix things up a bit, this time he wanted someone to share the experience with. Knowing that James Lowsley-Williams (aka Hank) at ‪@gcn‬ is always up for an adventure, Blake decided to see if he could succeed where GCN had failed and find a challenge that was too much for him!
With minimal experience on a mountain bike, would Hank even be able to complete the 21km long snow and rock-strewn course, let alone race hundreds of other riders down it? The boys headed to France to find out...

Before I clicked on the video just based off of the title I was like it has to be Hank. I feel like he's got the best bike handling skills out of the GCN crew. Hank killed it, I think in this situation ignorance is bliss. He just rode everything's and didn't think about it too much. He rode some really gnarly lines I don't even know if I would do and I've been riding for 13 years.

Nice work, Hank. Pro athletes are built different. It's tough to understand the amount of tenacity it takes to become a very high-level athlete. My belief is that you can put someone like that in any competitive high stress situation, and they will excel. We like to rebel in the chaos that crushes most folks. Way to step up to the challenge!!!

That's what I thought. On first segment of the video they show him carrying mountain bike to top of the mountain. He had to mountain bike before maybe not competitive but recreational. He is picking up those lines and steep descent and you can see that he is having skill. You can't get that in couple of days of practicing

Hank, you are an excellent cyclist and they way you raced showed you talent! I remember back in 1986 crossing over to MTN from competing as a roadie and I fell in love with it! racing XC and just mountain biking has made me a much stronger cyclist because I never stopped racing as a roadie and I added triathlon a few years later, because I just love racing!

This was amazing to watch. Hats of to Hank, what a legend. Coming to such an event, sending it like a boss through stuff. Amazing. Now... Call me whatever you want, but I will not believe that Hank doesn't do some MTB in local trail parks. No rider would be able to handle such terrain at speeds he did, the trust in grip, handling, all the gnarly rocks, steep roll ins. Maybe some video about how did Hank actually did so well for this? Cannot comprehend him sending like this just because he is good on Road bike, just can't. RESPECT the duo! Amazing

Hardtail, suspension forks, it's hard work on the back :P Seriously, you are both machines, that race is absolutely insane, I watch it every year, and it never fails to scare me from my armchair.

I usually play videos on my subscription feed at 1.25-1.5x speed just to get them done and “out of the way”. I loved this video so much I did it at 0.25x. Jk i watched it at normal speed. Fantastic video! Hats off to Blake and especially Hank! 🤜🤛

Gents! You are stars. That was brilliant. I may be 57, but that race is still on my bucket list. Riding it as a team and showing how much that adds to the mix was fantastic AND inspirational. Now! - where do I buy inserts, non puncture tyres, endless energy and a big smile. Cheers😊😊😊
