MACAVALANCHE 2024 - Winning Run?? - Liam Moynihan

The Macavalanche has been happening in Scotland for a good number of years - originally at Glencoe the race moved to Nevis Range in Fort William in 2022.
I managed to win the race in both 2022 and 2023 so was going for the third win in a row! A good course was set out on the weather was perfect for another classic Macavalanche race!
Thanks to all the great companies that keep my bikes rolling, the videos going and getting me to the races!

Hell of a run.. Well deserved! Yer boy that you followed had ALL the lines..😂😂

[@LiamMoynihan]

Ahh thanks!! Was good fun. Haha yeh he definitely had all the good lines. Was actually quite handy being behind him for some of them in the end haha

[@georgematheson7289]

Some mad Strava lines on the blue there 😂🎉

[@LiamMoynihan]

Hahaha yeh I got seriously caught out following for one of them 😂 was thinking “fuck what if there’s a massive ditch down here, my front wheel is already on its last legs without ploughing through a square edge drainage ditch” hahaha

[@AhmedAliRazzaq-xq4hj]

Absolutely brilliant Liam. Congratulations for 2nd win in a row. You are on fire. 🔥 . Best of luck for next megavalanche and MOH .

[@LiamMoynihan]

Thank you!!! It was somehow third in a row at this, 😂 forgot to film it the first year. It’s a good fun race to start the year! Definitely looking forwards to the other ones now! Cheeers!!

[@dorothyb.]

Surprised your wheels held up with those spokes out. Great lines taken and fab win

Extraño cuando tenia 20 años y salia en mi bicicleta, pero me da alegría verlos a ustedes disfrutar. Saludos desde Argentina. Excelente video

[@quantumcat7673]

[@joekellner10]

Pukka performance, wicked little race between you 2 at the front. Nice commerardary between you too 👌

[@LiamMoynihan]

Thank you! Yeh was nice racing each other. Always a fun event to start the year!

[@nathanross8459]

wow. unbelievable! hearing them spokes bouncing about made me a bit nervous haha.

[@LiamMoynihan]

Hahaha made me nervous too but good strong SILT rims held together a treat!! Worked out well in the end haha

[@leocomans9311]

Great race Liam, congratulations!

[@JeanLaboux88]

[@HuTaoSnap]

You are the champion,my friend~🎉🎉

[@SilverbackOrangutan71]

HELL YA!! Congrats! I watched the 3rd place run last night

[@LiamMoynihan]

Ahh thank you! Ahh yeh James was third and had a 360camera so quite interesting to compare the two!!

[@simonbailey7192]

5:37........he's taking the piss with that one 😂

[@rosshaveron7535]

What a run.. especially with that front wheel on your mind all the way down!

[@LiamMoynihan]

Thank you! Haha yeh it was definitely in my mind. Trying to be as smooth as possible with it and avoid it getting any worse! Made it to the end though so pleased with that!

[@highlandbear986]

Thats wild..some top riding there fella.🤙

[@Sardaukkar]

very very nice, Liam!!!

[@LiamMoynihan]

Thank you!! Always a good time!

[@missionimpossible369]

Running was personal 😅

[@dreams_n_destination]

10:51 did he actually let you go ahead ?

[@Sardaukkar]

And what´s his name?

[@LiamMoynihan]

Yeh he let me pass there! That was a bit of a climb there and I’m normally pretty strong on the climbs so had it earmarked as a possible passing location. He was probably hearing my mad spokes rattling like mad and wondering what was going on haha

[@stirfrybry1]

Snow riding is my favorite riding. I made a a short 12 inch set of two skis that were able to pivot at the fork and the end of the skis were exactly at the wheel patch intended for the geometry of the bike. I could ride no handed oin the ski slope with it. LOL

[@matthewcampling488]

Well done mate… first time riding it this year, so much fun! Great video! What rim tape you runnin!? 😂😂😂

[@LiamMoynihan]

Ahhh cheers! It was good fun on the open hill this year. Think it was quite a good route that missed the worst of the bogs! Haha yeh the rim tape did an exceptional job. It was the stuff that comes on the SILT wheels I had in there but if I ever need to replace it I typically use the Schwalbe stuff which is really good too!

[@iplaygames3685]

Ahhhh 2nd that one was close!!!!

[@kristinrzeszut2793]

It sounded like you broke a couple spokes on that rock while trying to pass.

[@bauclub15]

당신의 경기를 처음 봅니다. 열정적인 레이스를 응원합니다. 건강하세요.

[@LiamMoynihan]

Thank you!!

[@bombero3368]

The brakes sounded like the vuvuzelas from the World Cup.

[@LiamMoynihan]

Haha if only there were people trackside with vuvuzelas. That would be incredible haha

[@alanmorton8459]

👏👏

[@LiamMoynihan]

Thank you!!

[@NicolasValentinScotland]

Very good , second video I watch from another competitor , cracking run , new spoke needed . Oof

[@LiamMoynihan]

Thanks!! Yeh few fresh spokes and the wheels as good as new haha. Cheers

[@NicolasValentinScotland]

@@LiamMoynihan Ross Pirie was the other guy belting it down . I like it .

[@quantumcat7673]

The camera should not be set on auto-focus but on manual. It's constantly trying to refocus and we lose lots of resolution.

[@abbasahmed4827]

10:51 why he gave pass to you?

[@Friskee62]

Talk about. LUCK...
