Payson - These are the best kind of videos, race recaps from inside the action. Anyone willing to carry a camera and capture it is a hero in my book. The coverage for gravel races is pretty sparse and tbh, this kind of footage is way better than seeing the race from a helicopter or something. I was on the edge of my seat in the single track. Also appreciate the honesty about yelling at guys and stuff. Please keep doing these!

I think this format (race footage with voiceover) is much more engaging and relatable than plain action cam footage.

We’ve all been waiting for a front grouper to carry a camera! Thanks man. The dude pedaling 120 cadence trying to finish had me rofl😅

“I’m sure he’s done his research.” Love Dylan but this had me rolling. Please keep these coming!

Payson I really appreciate the video and commentary at the front of the race, I wish there was more of this at all the races.

Loved it. 34 minutes of exciting footage coupled with insightful narration. Please sir, I want some more!

Thanks Payson for showing us the front of the race. Enjoying the video and commentary. Would love to see more videos like this in the future!

This continuous video format is by far the most engaging. Great performance, impressive speed in the single track.

Please, continue doing it!!! So well narrated🙌

I LOVE that you record the end of the race. So fun to watch since the majority of us will never be in that mixup. Thank you for doing this.

Mid South event team member here! Thanks for the shout outs and the commentary on Lake McMurtury! We are stoked to share this with you guys!

Stillwater local that rides that red trail often. For the past year I have wanted to see footage from the pros' perspective going through the single track of the race. Your video delivered beautifully and was a very fun watch. Good luck with your season, Payson!

Seeing the speed vs the 50 milers 😮 Such a great recap and view from in the mix. Love the commentary! Please keep ‘em coming!!!

IMO gravel needs all sorts more of stuff like this! Was sick to watch you guys ripping, and no doubt you’re gonna be up there this year payson! Go get em!

Loved it. Please do again. Appreciate the effort.

Really enjoyed the race footage. It's amazing how fast you guys ride, especially the single track section.

Thanks for sharing sir! Really enjoying seeing the action at the front of these races

As a non pro casual racer, these are what I’ve been trying to find forever. The tactics and voiceover are great. Keep it coming!

Nice! A great way to see the action in the lead group.

Thanks for sharing…well done. Keep them coming!

I really enjoy this format. SUPER fun to hear you talk about live action and see the pedaling styles and strength in person of all these riders!

Super appreciate this EXACT format. Love the positive tone to your commentary!

Outstanding! I'm 73 and have done all the LandRun/MidSouths since the inception but for 2017. Although I have finished seven of them, I've never known what goes on at the front of the race. Kudos for you this year and your previous successes. (This year I finished a bit behind you at 10:41 and change. LOL) Bobby talked me into doing the first one with my only bike a Peugeot UO8. "Oh," says Bobby, "that'll be fine with this little knobby 28mm tires." Wrong!

Cool to see the sharp end of the Mid-South 100. Thanks.

Great video. This is not only entertaining, but useful info for someone like myself who is just getting into gravel. Your commentary is excellent-the information flows at just the right pace and the tone is very courteous and respectful. Well done. I would definitely watch more of these.

Loved the video and commentary.

So good! Keep them coming!!

Thanks for the video and what it is like at the sharp end of a race.

This was so fun to watch, Payson. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for letting an old guy vicariously relive the glory days.

Please keep these coming!

Thanks for bringing us to work with you. Love the commentary. It's great to get a peek into what actually goes on at the pointy end of these races. If it makes sense and you enjoy doing these, we'd love to see more! Cheers!

This is excellent! Keep these race recap videos going.

hey Payson, thanks so much for posting this. The speed just blows my mind. Great footage and commentary. This is awesome. All the best to you for your upcoming races and beyond!

Very cool to see the insides of the front end of this race! Super interesting insights and fascinating to watch the race dynamics unfold

Keep em coming! 💯🤙

Thank you for sharing this video. Crazy how fast you guys are riding. Impressive

I'm just now getting into biking, mostly mountain biking and now bikepacking. This video was really intrigueing. I love the fact you can listen the sound of the video while you narrate. I'd watch more of these. Thanks for sharing. I'm thinking of doing a gravel race this summer just from watching this video.

These are great, commentary is what brings the simple vid to life. Tough luck on the flat!

Super fun and inspiring to watch! Appreciate all the work and candor.

Thanks for the commentary. I liked it so much I watched it twice!

Great visuals and insight from the front!

Nice to see front group dynamics ! Keep em coming !

This was awesome! Great commentary

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. Amazing how fast you guys are rolling.

Very chill vibes on this video, thanks for sharing

This is great Payson, love seeing and hearing what is going on in the race. Along with the commentary these are excellent.

Loved this, keep these coming if you can!

Great stuff. More please. Thank you.

Payson, love the video! Sorry about the flat. That stinks. Please continue doing these. The front group tactics and your perspectives are fantastic!

Incredible footage especially through the singletrack. Unbelievable speeds. Thank you for sharing it. Downright scary and riveting!

That’s a really exciting video. Makes you want to get out and go for a ride!

This was a great recap of the race, really enjoy the narration with what's going on in the moment.

Please do more this was awesome to watch!

Yes. Make more. Found this from your podcast. It's really fun to watch and hear racing insights. Thank you.

love these types of videos!

Yes, I really enjoyed this and will look forwards to more!

Great stuff. Yes, please more.

This was sweet! Thanks for sharing.

Man, HUGE thanks for this video. Make more videos. Good luck on track 🤞

Great work, Payson. Easy to watch and listen to. Helped me actually enjoy my trainer workout as the unexpected snow was fall in here in north Idaho.

Super Cool! Thanks for sharing! My son Mark Myles raced with you guys in the main group until right when you started filming. Keep ON keepin ON!

Love this format!

Love these in race recaps. Keep em coming please!

YES! MORE PLEASE!! Really fun to see what it’s like at the pointy end!

This type of content is amazing! Please keep doing it!

Super interesting, please keep making these

Love this format , keep doing these videos please

Thanks for sharing, that was exciting! Always impressed by how fast the pros roll by 💪

As others have said - I really appreciate the coverage from the front and the narration to go along with it. Very few of us normal riders get to see much of what racing at the front is like. Your insights and commentary are also very interesting in terms of tactics, how you're feeling, on course chatter, etc. Thanks so much for sharing - your efforts are appreciated.

good coverage. good voiceover. as an injured/recovering racer it’s good to “feel” like we are right there in the mix. peace

Loved watching the footage and your commentary. Looking forward to more like these.

Great Video, Haulin' through that single track was sick!

Excellent. Yes, this format is awesome. Keep hanging with the front groups and post your commentary, especially when you take the sprint finishes this season.

Thank you for the inside view from the lead group. I just felt gutted when you had to stop and so near the end. Thanks for the commentary. It really helps to understand what you are experiencing. Having so many vehicles on the course and then that pickup crossing… that’s just crazy. Here we have an annual half marathon race that used to be scheduled so that you had to average better than 9:00 pace or be stopped by a train crossing. Even when the trains were short, it was more than 2:00 minutes just standing.

Love this new format.

It’s amazing to see the diversity of different styles or riders. MTB, road, gravel! Road racing tactics with single track and dirt 🍆 keep this coming

Payson, thanks for your efforts in shooting this video and giving your honest perspective of the front of the race. I appreciate what you are doing here!

Fantastic. Keep them coming!

Awesome race video, thanks for posting

Yea dude, this is it. This is sick footage and the commentary elevates it a ton. Seemed like a sick course this year.

Amazing video, amazing format. Thank you for this.

Super cool to see the nitty gritty from the front of the race! Please keep these up!!

Loved it, exciting to watch!

Thanks so much for this - I watched every minute of it!

Great video and talk through. Thx.

More of these videos if you can, Payson! The commentary was especially great.

amazing footage one again Payson, thanks for sharing!

I absolutely loved this video!! Please keep doing them as long as you can stomach the extra work. It’s so interesting to get inside the mindset of the hitters at the front and understanding the mindset you (and others) use. Bummer about the flat. Great video.

Here after watching the Drew Dillman version of this. I like the interactions and see a rivalry forming.

Incredible content. Please keep showing us mere mortals the pointy end.

Really enjoyed the video. As someone who is newer to racing, I enjoy seeing what’s happening in those front groups

Race POV with commentary.. love this.

Absolutely loved your recap! Hate the flat, would've loved it all the way to the finish! Great stuff!

This video was awesome!! 10/10. Keep em coming!

I’ve been searching for days on getting some insight on this event and yours is the first one! Can’t express my gratitude in your efforts to bring us right into the event! And the hot group on the day! Your staying power and positioning is lovely to watch! It was also so so nice to see Ted King mixing it up! What a legend for giving the 2024 season a real shot! Glad you mentioned him. To be honest the sketchy crap you guys deal with is a very mental draining issue, I’ve now had a front seat view on how close you guys get to almost crashing. Anyways, this format gets my vote! Your keep sharpening your craft, and soon a massive victory is on the cards. You are carrying great conditioning, lol after your health and stay upright! All the best for 2024!

Love this Payson. Thank you for the hard work involved in putting together this video and your commentary. :)

Very helpful video. Gives great perspective to those of us that haven’t been in a race

Great video, thanks for recording and posting this!

Love this format man - Please keep it up! It’s fascinating from us mid-pack people.
