For anyone curious on the filming/export mistake I made I filmed this at 24fps and exported through Final Cut editing software but in a project setup at 25fps. I actually didn’t realise this was the case or that it would make any difference until a while later when I noticed my face time and the official race time were different. At first I thought it was their mistake until I noticed the other racers’ video was in agreement with the race time so I investigated further and discovered that the 25fps project meaning the video has 25frames(still images) per second had 24frames per second footage in it, effectively shortening the video/race time by 1frame in every 25!
Good lesson for the future and glad everyone has enjoyed the video anyway!

The mountain of hell is one of the most exciting races of the year.
With 800 riders lined up behind us on the snow at the top, things are tense and exciting, that feeling ramps up as the helicopter fly's overhead and the start gun sounds!
I had a bit of a poor go down the snow, was trying hard to avoid carnage and went too slow round the first corner as a result was going too slow for the entire next snow section and lost a tonne of spots. I managed to make them up until I finally ended up in a tight battle with Olivier Bruwiere and Alexis Chenevier for 2nd place. Kilian Bron was too far ahead to get within touching distance with and eventually won the race!

There was a full live stream of the race from the helicopter and various drones and filmers along the way it was shown live on French TV too.

Now looking forwards to the Megavalanche in just over a weeks time!!
