I think stage 4 is what passes for "Flow Trail" in Salida. as in if your blood is still flowing on the inside as opposed to on the outside, that's a win. 😉

The beginning of Macky's stage 3 looked like controlled chaos. You both are sooo fast. ....and BTW....you have the best mountain bike channel. You're content is such a great mix between watching true FAST riding and getting to see some of the inside of the process behind the machine. Thanks for bringing us along!!!!

This is what I kept wondering through the whole video especially seeing how well Macky did with stage 4 on just a trail bike yet still came in 5th for that stage, seemed under biked.

@sydandmacky Жыл бұрын

Yeah I think it was the right choice! Stage 1 and 3 were pretty flat so the faster rolling/lighter bike helped a lot there. I think the difference in Mackys result on stage 4 is mostly a factor of the fact that that was his second run on it, and everyone ahead of him lives in the area 😂 the other stages were simpler so the local advantage didn't show as much!

Syd, they should call stage 4 bone breaker, collarbone shatterer, teeth rattler, or separated shoulder pass. The fact you didn't hike down any of it is a win. I'm the polar opposite of a pro but my reaction to that trail was "hell no". Great result!

When talking goals, It’s kinda funny. We had a hockey coach that taught us to rate our game and it had nothing to do with the score. Rating 1-10 but you can only have one level 10 game. If you have a new best game, your other level 10 game moves to a 9 (and you can have multiples of level 9 and down).

@CanyonWanderer Жыл бұрын

Thrilling to watch as always. Funny: I'm quite new to the terminology, I've heard 'downhill race', 'single track' etc... So, when hearing Enduro, my mind matched "endurance", so I expected quite long stages, but surprisingly it is downhill only, with uphill not being timed. I'm a bit confused now 🤪 Must be because I'm from the lowlands 🙂 Great video as ever! And of course: congratulations on the results!!

@sydandmacky Жыл бұрын

The term comes from moto enduro, which is a big loop with timed segments, and kind of is an endurance discipline in the moto world (compared to motocross for example). But we agree that the name is confusing when applied to MTBs!

@CanyonWanderer Жыл бұрын

@sapinva Жыл бұрын

Nice job. Enduro is so weird. I thought the premise was supposed to be mini downhills that you have to pedal up for the start. And a few are. But they can be literally anything. This was more like XC mostly downhill sprints. Around here, they are just plain old short XC stages that you could literally do on a road bike.

@stevecuellar4805 6 ай бұрын

Hey you guys absolutely love your videos especially these enduro races 🤙🏼 quick question, Mackey what’s your settings on your suspension ? I have the same Wfo and kind of struggling to find a good feel. I weigh about 165 so I was wondering if your about the same and how your settings are compared to mine. Maybe I can try something close to yours to see if I like it. Thank you and keep up the great videos

@sydandmacky 6 ай бұрын

I set mine up using Niner's sag mark on the bolt and Fox's recommended rebound/compression settings (you can Google "Fox 38/Fox Float X2 manual"). That's assuming you've got Fox on there. I'm sure other brands have recommended starting settings as well.

Two questions. In enduro racing, once you pick a bike, must you use that same bike for all the stages? Second question: did you feel underbiked on stage 4?

@COMOMTB Жыл бұрын

Technically yes, you have to use the same bike, wheels, etc.. the whole race. In amateur races like this no one checks that really. In pro races they get stickers put on their frame and wheels that have to be visible at the start of each stage to show they are the same the whole race

Macky. Would your “being in the Enduro Zone” include a statement like “I expect I’ll have to take some risks once or awhile, to feel that intensity of really pushing myself”?

@sydandmacky Жыл бұрын

Nope. My goal is to feel 100% focused and in the zone without doing anything that feels risky or out of control. I think it's a common misconception that to race Enduro well you have to take risks, but in my experience the people who are consistently at the top are riding in control and the ones who take risks have occasional good stages/races but end up injured a lot!
