Nice to see the sportsmanship here, there's no anger at other competitors because they were faster, just congratulations and admiration for each other.

Dude, mad respect. That's one of the craziest things I've ever seen. I lost count of all the places where you could have died. Awesome.

I got this randomly recommended on YouTube, and I was mesmerized by the landscape beauty, I literally couldn't stop watching, I can't believe I watched the entire race nonstop. That was as amazing. Great video indeed

Damien — you are an incredible athlete, commentator and quick thinker. You also appear to be a great friend to everyone. Thank you for the incredible videos and please be careful!

[CesarSandwich]

This is the longest YouTube video I've ever watched all the way through. It was exciting the entire time. The athleticism demonstrated in this video is incredible.

[mikekelsey]

Really appreciate the narration and the English Translation. Such an Epic Event.

We all need a Vincent in our lives, that sort of energy can make you feel like you can do anything. This is my third Owlaps video today after finding this channel. LOVE it!

[Hooderaw]

The fact that he's able to narrate while he rides is amazing. You have to be at your top peak physically to do that.

One of the most absorbing and exhilarating videos I’ve watched. Fantastic. I’m 58. I need to go buy a mountain bike now 👍🏻

[KlasR]

Love the comradery between the riders.

[smg]

What a great ride. A great inspiration. So many moments of support from spectators and riders. I imagine no matter where you finish, you feel great at the bottom.

[МарианнаПопова-вп]

Великолепно!
Благодарю за съёмку.
Восхищаюсь мастерством и реакцией!

[thomasthompson]

I can't say enough good things about this. Congrats to all finishers (yes, and also to those who could not finish). I'm an old man now, but I think I've never had as harrowing a visual experience as this one. I caught my breath every time Damien Desbosses had to adjust his goggles! Still . . . what an experience just to witness this from the safety of my home in Salt Lake City! Many, many thanks.

These races always trigger the YouTube algorithm 😂

[SeraphimDragon]

Kudos to the people who make these bikes, rides like this must really hard on the bikes and I can't imagine the pain riders would feel if a wheel comes flying off.
Thank you for sharing your experience!

[codygilbert]

Look at that view, imagine being that lucky to view such beauty

[RATADATUAVELHA]

"i'm all alone, it's hard mentally"... I know the feeling but it's so satisfying when you reach the end by yourself.

[soopaman]

I always watch these and point out the times I would have died. I woulda missed that turn, I woulda ate those trees. etc. You guys got some brass balls and the physical fitness of a god.

[angelnichols]

The support from the other riders and the encouragement from the fans was just the best! I know that has to be a major factor in getting to the end of one of these mega races.
