What happens when you bomb an icy, sloppy ski run on a mountain bike? Well, many things can happen — and it doesn’t always go smoothly.

Watch various amusing unsuccessful results at this year’s Megavalanche in this fails clip. Held at Alpe d’Huez in the French Alps annually since 1995, the zany downhill race tends to deliver a massive array of thrills and spills.
