Mountain of Hell, a downhill mountain bike competition in Les 2 Alpes, France, lived up to its name in 2019 as hundreds of riders hurdled down the icy cliff and crashed into one another in this astounding clip from the Newsflare archive.

Mountain of Hell is France’s most famous marathon downhill race and takes place in Les 2 Alpes every year. The concept is simple: over 1,000 riders all drop in from the snowy start line at 3,400 meters (11,000 feet) and battle it out all the way down to Venosc at 900 meters (3,000 feet) altitude. First to the bottom wins!

This year's race takes place June 23-15
