The 2025 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships are being held right now in the Valais canton in Switzerland. Canadian cyclist Jackson Goldstone won the Downhill World Championship in the elite category, even though at age 21 he's still technically eligible to compete in the junior category. The race down the Alpine track in Champéry was incredible, and we get to watch from Goldstone's POV angle. This is a track I would be hesitant to walk down unless it was a life or death matter. Goldstone takes it flat out in three minutes of terror as he rounds tight corners and sudden turns, all while the crowd yells and blows whistles. If the above video is too much for you, we also have a non-POV video with commentary.
Goldstone made Canada proud, as you can see in coverage of the celebration. He makes the rest of us nervous. -via kottke
