Saas Fee 2012 Snowy Helmet Camera
Rowan “Rohan” Sorrell raced the high speed Saas Fee Glacier Race the other week. Check out the helmet cam action!
We’ll have the full Saas Fee story in the next issue of Dirt Magazine but in the mean time you can get a flavour of this bonkers snow race with these two helmet cam vids.
Big thanks to Andy Llyod for sorting out the cameras.
The first is a bit of a compilation but the second one is the full race from the rear facing cam. Rowdog was clocked at a ridiculous 84.5mph at one part of the race!
Check out the kamikaze at 2:25 (in the first vid) who rockets past Rohan like he was standing still!
Multi angled cam
9 minutes 30 seconds of “back door” (excuse me vicar) Saas Fee snow action.
madness
The bits where people come past in full moto-drift are insane
Love the way the camera points at the sky at 3:00. How steep?
trying to get so low that he scrapes his arse on the back wheel and stacks good work rowdog
i wouldn`t mind doing it….( in the safety of a car…)
There should be one rounf of the Wc every year on track like this , maybe a bit more tech , but generally so fast pedalling won’t help , more like DH Ski course
Round not rounf
F’kin awesome!
Must admit I’m a bit ashamed at how badly I rode this, but what an event!So different to a conventional DH, I’d do it again tomorrow, though some practice on this surface would make the event a lot better for any travelling brits to get to grips with it.
The guy overtaking at 2:24 – one of the most impressive things I have seen on 2 wheels, just awesome…. Check out the report in the next issue for a run down of how it all works but I would recommend anyone getting their asses over to Saas Fee for next years event purely for the adrenaline of those few minutes.
Saas Fee means something else to students in Scotland.
Love it. I did it a few years back. So much fun. I got beaten by a Lithuanian motorcycle racer in a skin suit by half a wheel when i did it. I won a massive piece os Swiss cheese.
that looks bananas .
Awesome vid man! I’m going back out next year for sure. I know the craic now so I’m prepared, mahoosive chain ring is the way forward! Guy at 2:24…. what a machine!
