This is my favorite race and I love these POV videos, wish we got more of them from in the race. Much respect and gratitude for skiing and sharing this amazing course.
140 is not possible without tracksuit, not even 120, you need very tight clothes... Talking from experience. He´s good, you can see that because he made it into finish after 3 minutes. That is hard for your legs, real hard. I was racing myself and want to show my respect for that guy, well done!
Great vid. Thank you. In awe. I was lucky enough to have skied the Lauberhorn today, twice, at a more sedate pace. Leg burner extroadanaire. It’s a fantastic course and I love the history and reputation of this ski race. Not to mention the setting, which is stunning. All the ingredients are there making this race a true classic of classics.
3:10...I believe this would be hardest part of the descent - legs tired, lungs tired, brain tired and you are darting at 140 kmh against an angle like that. Impressive!
Gravity is the master of relaxation, here. In the same way that with sawing, you let the saw do the cutting, here you let the ski do the carving as a mediation between-skier-topography and gravity. If one can tune into the electro-magnetism of that-as absolution in the drama of how to get down the hill as quick as possible (for whatever reason)... Then the gravity will be the gift.
Alla fine il pubblico presente era quello dei Babbi e Mamme che volevano vedere i propri pargoli impegnati in una bella discesa ben disegnata! Dai che dopo hai festeggiato con tutti i tuoi familiari con una Bella Polenta Italiana e vino Amarone!
@@GrahamBellSki That was fantastic, you have still got it Graham! Hopefully we will see more of you at Kitzbuhel and may be a feature on the slopes doing something more recreational like you have done before. I really liked those. Keep up the good work buddy :-)
@@GrahamBellSki It's that time of year again! I listened to you last week. Any chance we get to see how those knees are still working? Fingers crossed, we are all looking forward to it........
+Monkey Man GB did the full course in about 3:10. The course is nominally 2.78 miles, so he averaged 53 mph. Elite racers typically do Wengen in about 2:30, and average about 67 mph, Johan Clarey did it in 2:30.99 the day after this was recorded, when he became the first and only racer to break 100 mph in a WC Downhill (though he didn't win, because he made mistakes in the approach to the Hundschopf, entering the Minschkante, and in the Super-G turns between the Wasserstation tunnel and the Honeggschuss. ua-cam.com/video/TFnwPJxV_VA/v-deo.html. IMO Doug Lewis called Clarey's run about right). GB wasn't wearing a speed suit and didn't appear to be in a low tuck (by elite DH standards), so I suspect he was relatively slow in the fast sections (more than his -21% average speed deficit relative to Clarey would suggest) . I'd guess he hit a bit over 70 mph peak in the Honeggschuss. Starting the year after this the organizers made the approach to the Honeggschuss turnier. Peak speeds are now back down in the 90s...
Atm the most over estimated track of the circus...was my favourite with the streif in the 90's...just a couple of corners keep being interesting...so boring
Amazing - but he refers to over 100mph twice - I know these guys are stunningly talented, but 100 miles per hour, equates to 160 kilometres per hour….. twisting around with barriers / catch fencing so close…. I’d be impressed if they reached 75 miles an hour.
Johan Clarey set a World Cup speed record in 2013 at the classic downhill race in Wengen, Switzerland, with a maximum speed of 161.9 km/h (100.6 mph) at the Haneggschuss, the fastest section of the Lauberhorn slope. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johan_Clarey

You sir are crazy!
Talking to the camera you hold in your hand while going at 80kmh.
Respect!
80kmh? Even more maybe
@@Michal71175 Like 140 kph.

That was a super cool video, didn’t expect to see a self interview during it though…😮 😊
I love Wengen... its the railway bridge that does it.
the section from the Hundschopf to the bridge, with the small road and the Kernen-S, is easily my favourite in alpine skiing downhill
That's a beautiful run! I gotta try that at some point!
Lauberohn magnifique course, bonne retraite a Carlo Janka
Wonderful performance congratulations 👌👌👌
Génial vidéo 📹 merci ,tanks you 🙂🙏
my favorite is how his voice just raises the farther he goes down

Hi Graham,,keep the camera on the course and lets see you in a full-on fast run..please..
It will be cool to see these pov's with modern stabilized 360 cameras.
can you do POV run of saslong(val gardena)?
Fair play to you Gray, that was tough.
really great wo watch!

Well done. That would be hard to film,ski talk and not lose it. My legs are burning in sympathy.
Amazing!!!
I wonder if British fans turn up just to see Graham Bell do his demonstration runs.
Exceptional! Stay safe!
Any chance you can do a POV this weekend, we miss you? x
You might be in luck!
@@GrahamBellSki That was fantastic, you have still got it Graham! Hopefully we will see more of you at Kitzbuhel and may be a feature on the slopes doing something more recreational like you have done before. I really liked those. Keep up the good work buddy :-)
Any chance you have any footage of the wall in Lets Gets / Avoriaz too please?

Nick Fellows should watch this and show us all how it should be done as he seems to know everything about all kinds of racing on skis…….
very interesting to see the brige
It looks much easier than on TV...what speed do you reckon GB hit here?

@@patrickchase1884 I rate you highly for this reply. Exactly what I wanted to know.
Awesome 👏
do they only open the hundschopf for the race?
Nope, skied it last week
I have the same ski jacket :D
How many (like me) are watching again because we're stuck in Lock down..... "Pining for the Pistes"......
ohhh man !
wow and I needed 6:15 to get down
My personal opinion ..."stratospheric bullshits"... that's it !
I go for Hans Knauss
Me too! In fact you can just about see his tracks in the snow, he skied it just before I did.
@@GrahamBellSki You still do this?
Who the hell is this guy???
88k okkk
Ma dai, che questo tracciato neanche per la classe dei Cuccioli è impegnativo !!!😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
Decisamente una SCEMENZA.
