@@ThisIsMego Exactly. I once recorded myself going down. I thought I was going fast enough to have a nice video. When I saw the footage of it I was laughing and crying at the same time - what the hell was I doing there, was I sleeping ? I blamed it on "gopro effect". After this video I know it's not that .. it's just I suck a bit more than I thought. :)
Pull with opposite hand as you're pushing with you're leg to stop the slight steering wobble at the start and the middle. You might gain you're o.4 sec. But that was AWSOME !!! Some speed through that rock garden. Well done sir...
It’s amazing that people can do this without crashing! When there’s no weight behind that bike like a dirt bike has, it’s so easy to make a fatal mistake. I doubt most people know how dangerous this actually is. What I’m saying is, every time I see one of these downhill races I’m in awe of these young guys’ abilities
Absolutely crazy man, good ride tho regardless no Average persons doing that or even willing to try lol. How are the paths made/built? Always wondered that but this is crazy
What a bummer being that close to a win & failing. Suggestion stiffen up the suspension ( if it has any by 10 to 15% & inflate both tyres by a further 5 to 8% this might help in the ride. But, also try to cut the corners a tiny bit more ( even by 2inches ) this could save ( by end of run ) 10 to 20" 🤔 Hope this works.
I can see my bike bending and breaking into pieces less than 10 seconds in. Probably wrists would also fall off way before even getting to the rock sections. Dude.
Damn, PoV really puts the high speed in perspective. Well done!
Still big gopro effect, going that fast is nuts
@@bmxer1997isaac Yeah, I thought about how fast it looked, that I KNOW how strong GoPro effect is and just figured "DAAAMN".

@@bmxer1997isaac what's GoPro effect? Makes the pov look slower than it actually is? I feel like I've seen it on a pov of alphatauri in f1.
Not to mention the dangers of all them clay like rocks that just begs you to take a nose dive over them and faceplant
Seeing the guy that won by 0.4 second on his POV would look exactly like this ride did...what a ride man!!! looked awesome!!!
ye but he would also be 0.4 seconds slower with a gopro on his helmet
You’ve been at the very sharp end of DH racing, it’s hard to believe you don’t have 15+ wins under your belt!
Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Killed it dude, was rooting so hard for you on the live stream!
1st off Great job) Much respect for bike control'Also for having bike tuned So good No Rattling or Brake shoe noise
I honestly can't believe how fast some riders can hit the technical rock sections, and just seem to fly over them... Amazing.
speed actually gives you stability. If you go slow you are more likely to fail. But yeah the speed he had on that course is just insane!

This man was floating through the whole course.
He literally left the earth several times
the amount of leg strength to be able to go that fast is insane. Also your control over the bike is incredible!!
Phenomenal!!
How the bike and rider finish the course in one piece is mind blowing.
I knew this was a sport but never imagined the turnout would be so huge and everyone was shouting "Troy" and really encouraging.
Hell of a run and a hell of a season Troy!🤘

Dude, I love this. I would go watch this live. I wonder why this isn't more popular in the states 🤔
His bike deserves a noble prize.
So cool. You were absoultely smashing it
INCREDIBLE!!! I even stopped breathing!!
the amount of cheers just happening, how many of them are just wanting you to go is awesome. insane run
Girl: 10 seconds
...
Girl: 5 Seconds
Him: Gone
Mental.. the speed you lot go down these runs is unreal
That was completely insane!!! You sir, have one gigantic pair of balls! 😅
It was scary tbh especially through that pointed rock pieces glad that you could go through it mate .
Saw you at the shoe in person! excellent run!
Dude you were flying, that was awesome
God Never thought Downhill Races are Mounstrous and Nerve wrecking af !!! GOD BLESS US ALL!!!😊🌄😇💖💯
As a fellow downhiller, that was RAD. You killed that
That whistle I didn’t even hear it good job !
Its very impressive how much those bikes can take... damn
I wonder how many people crash at events like this, watching those runs is insane everytime I come back to them....
Well done 👏👏👏 I will always wonder how tyres and rims can stand such impacts when crushing on rocks.
You Won our hearts
Damn that was fast, and scary as hell. I don't know where you could have possibly been faster, that was awesome.
dude in crowd: “OMG😲, he’s flying 🛫🚴♂️”
Man that was insane! I could never!
This dude played ExcitBike growing up.
And he was the best on the block.
вот что мне нравиться на соревнованиях такого типа,то что на протяжении всей дистанции люди подбадривают и всячески поддерживают участников
Crowed was really supportive
Talking to a formula 1 fan 0.4 seconds is very impressive
Does anyone else's head start slowly tilting back watching his run?
You were going so fast there was a doppler effect on a cowbell. Holy crap!!
I literally had to check if the video wasn’t on 2x speed it was that fast
When my girl says she's home alone!
Yoo watching from WV i didn't know they held competitions here!
You were flying bro!
I would have died 20 times over! crazy run and super entertaining.
Dudeeee crazy achievement can’t help watching thinking maybe jealous of those with an oculus
What a gnarly course.
Unreal run, great work! Hard to tell where the finish line is but it looks like he spotted pedaling a few meters before.
Oh my sweet Jesus. If my son says he wants to do this, he will be grounded until he's 40.
My eyes literally hurt after seeing this 😵😵
Would be cool to see a side by side comparison pov of you an the guy who finished 1st
I'm exhausted watching this.
Awesome stuff. With narrow stuff like 0.4 s, the solution here is to drink a stronger coffee and try again lmao.
Absolutely crazy man, good ride tho regardless no Average persons doing that or even willing to try lol. How are the paths made/built? Always wondered that but this is crazy
After this video I came to a conclusion.
I think that guy is pretty good at riding a bicycle.
This is how it would feel when I used to take my bike to the park
Holy anxiety 😳 ... the safety desire in me could only think about the next guy who smacks a tree and everyone wonders why. Incredible run!
Anyone else going though the video like
"I would've crashed there
and there
definitely between those trees
and there
id be gone there
ect ect" 😂

OMG WTF this Guy is a crazy Bike GOD !
Are these trails open during the winter like can people snowboard on this ?
do these guys get to ride through the course a few times while not shooting for the record? id imagine they'd need to be familiar with the track first
So many places on that track you can lose 4 tenths. To be that close is amazing.
You should tilt camera little bit up. Congrats on 2nd. ✌️
would have been fun to see both riders sidebyside
Great vid bro
Are they supposed to start the race between 5-0 seconds on the starting clock, sorry complete oblivious to how it works
What's the purpose of the whistles down the course?
You gotta give it to him tho, he was insane
The camera recording this is what slowed him down.
Bro... the speed
what a fast guy
So fucking happy for you man this looks insane I have to go to one one of these events one day
Your theme song should be Bowling for Soup’s “Almost”
I can see my bike bending and breaking into pieces less than 10 seconds in. Probably wrists would also fall off way before even getting to the rock sections.
Dude.
Around 7 areas where there could've been an acceleration point, slowed down a few times here and there
Other than that weldone
This is like an AD for imagine stabilization.
Damn that is Really Fast!
The gopro weighed him down 😣 nah all jokes aside this was as gnarly as they get Jesus the rush theses guys must be insane and focus
Down hill would have to be one of the stupidest things a human could want to do. I love it 🔥🔥🔥
U else thought he was gonna crushes
Serious question: how are those races timed when nobody starts whit the countdown on 0?
10 seconds....5! goes!
Hard to imagine where you could have lost an extra 0.4s there
Me realizing how bad I am at cycling after watching this:
Amazing!!!!!
Bruh my bike can't even take going down a curb and then I see this 💀
4:14 poor man just wanted a fist bump
dude was flying
My bones ache just watching that.
I felt g-force of the start that I fell of chair, insane
Pov: she is home alone but you are at the bike park
Did you take off early?
Hell, I won't ride downhill on flat asphalt this fast.
If I did this, I'd be called 'Toothless'.
That was sick
If your ain't first your last
Ricky Bobby
Insane stuff
Bro has better acceleration than tesla
