Has anyone ever had a worse start to their megavalanche races?
Words cannot describe how devastating it was to walk down the mountain after getting 2 flat tyres in one race!
The megavalanche kicked my arse on this day but I will be back for redemption in the main race.

Would love to do this race. I've thought of the time when I lived in Germany we used to squirt expanding foam into car tyres that would keep the tyre up even when slashed. Sort of a 'get you home' bodge, I think in these rocky conditions that could be worth a try just to avoid mid-race flats.

What happened at the start? Did you clip someone's bike? Couldn't really tell what caused you to go down (or was it just traction going for a burton)
@MtbTrailHub
@MtbTrailHub 2 года назад
I effectively went to hard going for a gap that wasn't there. i didn't anticipate the group to slow down and close off as quick as it did. When i made contact my front brake got hit and just ejected me out the front door! lesson learned for next year......be patient !
