@@onoybeuhthat's exactly the things that makes 1st,2nd and 3rd place so hard to get. Or any race in general. You think the 1st placer didn't have any problems?
@@lordlopikong6940 bruh based on the video perspective... the 1st 2nd and 3rd placer must be placed in the front row or mostly close to that... so obviously they will struggle less compared to the man in the video which is placed near the back row or middle row... His bike was top tier but he never saw the 1st, 2nd and 3rd which states that they probably were in the front row...
I was just thinking that they probably had a much better position than him, so to me their outcome doesn’t necessarily match the difficulty to get their position
@@kaushikdr We can't make such an assumption because we don't know how ahead 1st, 2nd, 3rd winners started. They might have put more effort and we must consider that possibility too
Never cared for downhill biking, never watched a race, never known anyone who does it, never thought coming across a random youtube video of a stranger doing this sport would be so enthralling. Wow!! Couldn't take my eyes off the screen for 10 minutes and 35 seconds. Bravo 🙏👌 I was rooting for you from the first pedal
Have loved cycling my whole life and a year back, got obsessed with long distance running but everytime I see mtb races, I'm always left wondering how insane it is to go that fast over a terrain like that. I get nervous just running over a small muddy section on paved roads lol. Can't imagine what it's like to cycle downhill a mountain. Nuts man, my utmost respect to you, and all the mtb riders and trail runners out there. Thank you for continuing to push the boudaries of what is possible everyday. Was feeling quite smug about my running streak count and weekly mileage lately, this humbled me real quick haha.
That was a fucking great performance Jono!!! The top 3 definitely didn't get bogged down in the crowd over the first 1/3 of the race like you did. EWS fitness, skills and experience really showing there! 💪
That had everything. Tension, excitement, the battle for 4th, and a soundtrack by Ivor the Engine. Awesome. Just what I needed for a Sunday evening. Thank you. 😁
ha yeah I forgot/didn't realise this was just the qualifier whilst he was pushing to make the podium & fighting to maintain/regain 4th - thought he'd just cut out huge chunks of course that I can remember from other Mega Valanche t-to-b race run footage from riders like Kilian Bron !
The qualifier race is shorter, tougher and almost more intense than the main race. In the main race you have to manage your efforts to make it to the end, when in the qualifier you'll be at 100% for the whole race
Epic ride jono, the dynamics of this race are just insane! Such a great performance, and, not taking anything away from the winner, starting position plays a big part with clean track and line choice vs being in the crowd.
It always amazes me to watch these videos. I don't know how you do it in the beginning. You must really get your azz kicked before you learn how to not get your azz kicked. Fun to watch!
Wow 4th even though Jono went back to 5th managed to find the energy to catch back up and overtake him slow and steady wins the race by the podium guys that’s out the window lol Massive respect to the lunatics that do this on HTS
Seeing your position improve step by step until 4th was epic, but the fact you were looking behind you pretty much all the time indicated you felt someone was close. Shame you couldn't catch up to those who had a clear run, but that battle for 4th was still pretty epic... ow you you're faster eh 👌👌
Amazing, just incredible for this old guy to watch these vids, mad respect and appreciation. One thought...for a new enthusiast, please indicate the course and location so we can engage even more. Thank you for sharing!
Você é monstro em homem, simplesmente fantástico poder correr junto contigo, já pedalei muito, entretanto, nada nem próximo disto aí, brabo demais. Felicidades!
Hi Jono, What an incredible ride. Exciting at all means! Would please tell what video equipment you were using. I have done this race several times but never with such a crisp resolution. Best wishes Mike
I suspect a lot of people in races like that just show up to tick it off their bucket list. Only a few will actually be competitive, nice job man. Lungs of Iron
Absolutely insane. Great ride. Huge effort to retake 4th. It would tick a box just to descend that course let a loan race it. Congratulations on the placing.
Where was 1st , 2nd and 3rd? I didn't at any moment see their shadows on your descendent 😲. But Congratulations on your 4th place. That's some crazy stuff right there.
Amazing video! YT only just recommended this video to me, but very well done! What camera and mount do you use? The filming is incredibly smooth! Loved it!
There is absolutely no b* way that you should be anything other than chuffed to bits with that result. Wishing a safe and successful descent for the final!
Wild race! I had many 4th place finishes while racing mountain bikes and I know that you have to push incredibly hard to place 2nd through 4th consistently, first place consistently that’s another thing!
When you lost 4th place, (which you regained) to that fellow competitor, it gave a real perspective of the speed and corners. Absolutely amazing.
That dude was a true descender. This dude had heart and could climb. Marvelous, and on a Huffy. From Walmart.

My respect for 1st, 2nd, 3rd place grew astronomically after seeing your effort for a 4th place.
mostly because he was trapped behind some slow mfs in the beginning so no chance to catch up

Going at that speed on rough terrain without loosing control and making sharp turns on gravel is absolutely incredible.
The bike is doing most of the work
Other guys at the beginning had really bad bikes compared to this guy

He was more athletic than most here.

Nah it isn't - it's close to the shortest times that road cyclists race. Easy to spank the MTB guys on fitness.

Staying focused while putting this much effort shows how tough you are mentally 👏🏼👏🏼
Way to go Jono. Your endurance is incredible. Loved seeing you push on in this crazy race!
Holy moly; and it’s only the qualifier race. Impressive effort from back of the pack to 4th. Good luck for the main race.

This the most mesmerising thing I have seen on youtube lately! Your will power is killer.
Well done Jono, I was out my chair for you to get 4th back !! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Good luck for Sunday.
Omg, what has I just watched. The amount of energy, strenght, skill and balls is.. I don't have word/s for it..
Dude the line you took at 2:26 was a bit of a shock. I thought you were going over the handlebars but it seemed to go surprisingly smoothly.
ditto! thought the same.
Epic ride jono, the dynamics of this race are just insane!
Such a great performance, and, not taking anything away from the winner, starting position plays a big part with clean track and line choice vs being in the crowd.
Seriously impressive Jono, stoked for Sunday!
Total respect for that ride. Keep these vids coming, you're a legend.
That move from 5th to 4th was a masterclass
In the first minute looks like you choose the worst paths to pass the others competitors. Amazing race. Respect.
Amazing performance, that track is so much rougher and harder than it looks on camera.
You did fantastic Jono, hat off to you m8.............. Full beans from start to finish, you should be proud of that one, good luck on the next one. 👏
Thanks bud!
@@Jono_Jonesgreat job!!! What bike and tire selection for this race?
well done jono, great achievement, godspeed with you on the final’s

damn dude, that was a great effort. even a little battle in there. good luck in the final...stoked to watch that.
I was yelling at my screen for you brother! Great finish!!
So exhilarating to watch that I am out of breath by the time you reach the bottom! Well done you are amazing !
I searched for breathing asmr and found this masterpiece✨
😂😂😂
Hell of a run. Mad respect for even getting 4th . That was awesome

How high up does the race start??? Mega respect for your ability and traing!
Oh my god what a result, awesome effort Jono.. Legend 👍🏻
I broke my collarbone 4-5 times just watching
Bro these comments always get me in the first half 🤣
Mad respect, you’re a legend and that was a great watch. Don’t stop pushing yourself, you’ll win if they start you near the front
I honestly think I was breathing heavier than you watching that! Bloody amazing work well done 👍🏼
Nice!!! Top job at the qually Jono. Good luck for the Big Un on Sunday!
This is crazy and impressive at the same time ! Great run!
Best video I've seen on UA-cam in years hands down
mental ride! - massive respect! - just out of curiosity, any idea what your heartrate is during a pain-ride like that?
Mine was in my mouth just watching.
Well done! That sound of a bike crushing those dry rocks, mmmm delicious
NICE WORK MATE!! KILLING IT!!
In the red the whole way down, great stuff. Never gets easier, you just get faster.
it's already insane to survive such an insane ride, but it is physically even incredible avoiding bumping into others in every single curve. IQ 250🧠⚡
Nice one son. Great racing. Well done and good luck for Sunday. x
Wow! What a run! You killed them all on the climbs.
Please, post the complete video...great performance!

Position?
I've never seen anything like it, what an incredible human you are! ❤❤
God that race is so sketchy😂
Stumbled across your video and I’m glad I did … it was unbelievable!! Well done mate 💪🏼
What a pity that you cut the video. It would be good to watch whole race
Jon boy that was fucking incredible!!! I was screaming the the screen hahaha. You absolutely smashed it. So proud bro
Woaw NPCs are savage in this game, I'm screaming at my screen "take the outside, get some speed"
Wonderful performance! 🔥
That was epic mate. Absolute stellar performance, what I call hunger for success. Brilliant.
ALARMAAAAAA...!!🤘
Gasping for breath, not even half way in...takes me back.
Jono great ride and well done wrestling back 4th after briefly being overtaken,big ticker mate.All the best for the big one.
Yess Jono! 💪 You held to your 4th spot! Hard racing that!
Hi Jono,
What an incredible ride. Exciting at all means!
Would please tell what video equipment you were using.
I have done this race several times but never with such a crisp resolution.
Best wishes

Bro! That was amazing!! Thanks for sharing with us! Best of luck!!
Insane! As a motorbiker, i can honestly say this is much much harder. Hats off to everyone who participates, forget top whatever
Yes Jono 👊🏻 smashed it man!!
You are Awesome Bro. God like skills 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
Great performance, love the quality with 4k. Keep it up!
I suspect a lot of people in races like that just show up to tick it off their bucket list. Only a few will actually be competitive, nice job man. Lungs of Iron
I've fallen off about 30 times watching this...
Respect
You can feel the excitement troughout the video. Great effort really nice to see 🤛🏻
What a race, what a guy, massive Jono fan boy 🏁🔥👌
So exciting to watch, I was cheering the whole way! I was exhausted by the end 😂
Craziest thing I’ve ever watched. You are a savage beast!
Thanks Jono...damn ! That was awesome , bud . Good luck !
Absolutely insane. Great ride. Huge effort to retake 4th. It would tick a box just to descend that course let a loan race it. Congratulations on the placing.
Where was 1st , 2nd and 3rd?
I didn't at any moment see their shadows on your descendent 😲.
But Congratulations on your 4th place. That's some crazy stuff right there.
That was some effort. I’m knackered watching it and not a backflip in sight, which is refreshing
anyone else get sweaty palms when watching the Mega? Savage pace Jono!
Outstanding Performance! Good strength on the uphill great job.
Amazing video! YT only just recommended this video to me, but very well done! What camera and mount do you use? The filming is incredibly smooth! Loved it!
Great run. Thankyou. How did the camera image stay so steady? Helmet mounted gimbal?
Incredible! Fantastic riding. I was leaning and moving in my seat as if I was on the ride.
Wow! You did great. I was watching while I was indoor cycling!
Absolutely incredible. I wish I had a bike like that so I could do some basic downhill stuff.
Wow!! That's awesome. Congrats!! Look forward to your Sunday final. Good Luck. How do you not puncture riding that terrain at that speed?
Got to look out for the sharp edges! Everything else is just bumps right? 😬
Mad skills bro! Plus awesome bike set up too! Awesome! 🙌
Jono, absolutely stunning, they’ll be watching out for you lad !, let it rip son 💪🏾👏🏽
You are amazing, congratulation! BTW, what bike did you use in this race?
Great performance mate - this looks like a must do event!
Jono! youre an absolute weapon, wish i could buy you a beer after that. amped to watch the race
I’ve got you down for an IOU!!
@@Jono_Jones Next time you're in bc,canada mate I got you!
Some mad cardio and mad bike skills. Congrats to you!

Omg must not watch these before bed. Well done mate!

Thanks so much - very happy!!
It be funny to see everybody perspective so many possibilities 😂 crazy . Absolutely amazing
Massively impressive with that result, definitely excited for the finals
Wild race! I had many 4th place finishes while racing mountain bikes and I know that you have to push incredibly hard to place 2nd through 4th consistently, first place consistently that’s another thing!
