NEW BIKE DAY (didn't go as planned)

[@Team81MTB]

I'm glad you two are happy with your new bikes. They seem to be good climbers and pretty sure footed as well. Can't wait to see next week's edition of Friday Night Mountain Biking. 😂 Hopefully on some drier terrain and warmer weather. Keep rollin. 👊👍✌️

[@Cycle9568]

Always such a good time riding with a trail builder! Especially when you get to ride some secret stuff.

[@brettjohnson9453]

I love this type of trail where it feel very natural and hand made

[@oldschooldude3500]

Looks like some awesome riding. I'll just sit here on the couch on a rainy day here and watch you guys ride in the bad weather. Nice signal peak builds. My boy loves his signal peak. Tell you the truth I love it too lol.

[@PhilKrueger-y4u]

one of my memorable MTB moments on a ride above Breck in the summer.....a summer thunderstorm passed just in front of us on a trail high above Breck. We were in the sun...with the black thundercloud and lightning still close, but moving away....and suddenly the air was filled with snow

[@ortodontiaespecializada9283]

The new bikes seemed much quieter than the previous and looks like climbs well and descending is a piece of cake! Good luck!! Happy Easter!

[@vincedavis5326]

Thunder snow on while on an MTB. Not many can claim that one. Pretty cool.

[@kevinniles3850]

Good training for Da Marji

[@elvzwoods]

I grew up going to Glorietta as a student and then as a youth pastor. I rode there, but didn't know of any single track, just went to ghost town a lot (saw a bear once). Rode my road bike up the Pecos River once on a barely there road. I haven't been in a decade or more, now I want to go! We have the mud and had the thundersnow in NE AZ.

[@sydandmacky]

The real trail development started around 2015, I believe. You should definitely try to make it back. It's a great place to ride! We host our annual patron camp there in September ;)

[@tomlomax6208]

Nice bikes. I have the Delano and La Sal. Love them. Have a great race in Moab.

[@MTBMOR]

I have the La Sal and I'm grabbing other bikes bc it pedals so slow. I know the Assegai is slow rolling and it's a soft bike but I'm hoping to be able to speed it up.

[@dooleh84]

Love that you guys upload and record at 60fps.

[@wjones-nc3]

Condescending Turns is the meme in our riding group. Basically the Decreasing Radius turn is just making fun of you as you grab a handful of brake going around it.

[@sydandmacky]

That's a good one 😂

[@JDMc2.0]

Thundersnow is amazing! We get it in Roswell too.👽

[@k9kayaks]

Jim Cantore would be jealous of missing the #ThunderSnow 😂👍🚵🏻‍♀️ great video

[@dgriffinm]

Beautiful scenery, nice trail

[@mistert1097]

Love the paint/decals on Syd's helmet

[@davidharris6370]

Really enjoy Giddy Up down instead of Chips n Salsa sometimes. The more it's ridden, the better it gets.

[@shaunomeara843]

Nice bikes guys they look like they ride nice!!👍

[@mat2ca578]

Glad to hear you you like the the Signal peak. Still loving my 2021 Delano Peak. only complain is clearance for mud or rocks picked up by the tires. I too have had the mud push my chain off the front chain ring. Signal Peak is still a possible N+1 but it's tough to decide between it or a gravel bike. Need two dirt bike to pare with my 2 road bikes.

[@GeneVilleneuve]

Fun video and great trails!

[@jimblessinger]

I like the new bikes.

[@MichaelGranataDivorceLawyer]

Alex builds such sick trails.

[@ognyc6522]

sweet tunes!

[@youling1997]

That reminded me of when I was in Bend, OR. Headed out in sunny hot desert weather. Sandy and slippery. Then it turned into loam. An hour later, it was 4 feet deep snow

[@sydandmacky]

🤯

[@tomassanesson902]

Awesome bike and video

[@diegodmz5601]

Espero que la relación con su nuevo sponsor y las bicicletas esten acorde a lo que esperan ...... También estoy esperando ver los diseños a venir para 2024 !!

[@AskUncleLuc]

Are you using a new camera or audio filter? The sound is much better than normal. There’s not a lot of road or vibration noises. The video looks a bit sharper and stable too. Whatever you’re using; it’s working. I like it alottt!!!!

[@roddneysaucedo582]

Hay Macky, are you keeping a list of Sydizims? How about a jersey or hoodie with Sydizims on it.

[@TomCollins-c4h]

New bike day for me too! I ordered a Giant Trance Advanced Pro 29 2 hope I get it today :)

[@sydandmacky]

Awesome!

[@TomCollins-c4h]

@@sydandmacky Thanks! Hope the weather clears up!

[@thepedalsadvocate7389]

Great ride and video.

[@thoughtbubble3010]

Why don't you guys ever head south? Socorro, Albuqerque, and Placitas have some great year-round trails

[@Duckhead3000]

Love this channel

[@Bringyourownhammer]

Those bikes are nice and quiet

[@donaldmorrill1636]

Under 25 lbs, sweet! Aspens in the snow😮

[@mdadvracr]

Definitely need that burrito recipe! Please!

[@bacalsokeith]

Need a list of Sydisms.

[@dmartin4917]

I think there should be some "Thunder Snow" merch released now lol

[@savageferria505]

Tell Alex the trails could use some love!

[@sydandmacky]

😂

[@86309]

Mac: Its so hard to be patient....hahaha.

[@mbdelker]

I recently started wearing primal gear and absolutely love their stuff!! Never noticed before if you guys usually wear their stuff or not?! 😂

[@sydandmacky]

Yup, and we love it too!

[@robertknock193]

What was the music that was playing during the build? Really liked it. Thanks

[@razmtb5028]

awesome

[@AzureCloudCowboy]

Have you guys ever done the Cape Epic?

[@bigtalljohnny1]

You should ride the Strathpuffer 24hr, now that's cold mud or ice or snow

[@damnedlock2956]

that trail looks fun as heck...but there are sections where it didnt seem very defined.

[@jackryon3443]

"For New Mexico... this is... uh, TACKY" LOL. What flashed through my mind was a giant Zia tattoo on somebody's calf

[@Bike4adventure]

looks like fun lol

[@pantherto]

Besides the front brake, I only see two cables coming from the left side handlebar. I would really like to know what levers you are using for the dropper and lockout.

[@sydandmacky]

We use the Bontrager Droplock. Has levers for both the dropper and shock lockout (can also do fork simultaneously, but we don't use that)

[@bradnyenhuis3896]

I didn't recognize some of what you were riding. Is there a new trail up at Glorieta?

[@sydandmacky]

It's one that someone illegally built that will likely get removed or highly reworked. Off the top of Cairn Me Up by the entrance to Chips and Salsa.

[@psclassy1123]

Real nice bikes and I was always wanting to buy a Ari / Fizzari / but wouldn’t feel good about taking it to my smaller town bike shop. The local shop would give me the evil vibe because I didnt buy local.

[@darkriverracing22]

Are we listening to Samica?

[@tuftschristopher]

Solid music

[@rupertbrock417]

I didn’t know thunder snow was a thing

[@blackhorsegrind4255]

What’s living in New Mexico like?

[@jameysaunders7922]

Curious what jacket is Syde riding in at the end of the video, thanks for your content

[@sydandmacky]

It's the Women's Primal Obsidian Rain Jacket: www.primalwear.com/products/obsidian-womens-rain-jacket

[@geraldh.6686]

Man, it’s a pleasure to watch pros ride. Syd is getting smoked by the ebike but you can tell she’s a way better rider than him, no offense to him he’s good too, except for all the skids

[@TM-ev2tc]

Do you know what your elevation is. Just curious. PS. You might could of used some fenders on those bikes today. Nice video.

[@sydandmacky]

Glorieta is around 7000ft, I think.

[@KestrelYI]

*First* thundersnow? Really?!

[@notpablo8369]

Cape Epic when?

[@oliverglueck661]

weeeeeeeeeeeee i like bikes

[@PoorWorksmanship]

What song is that in the setup video?

[@davidvanschubert9093]

What glasses are you using?

[@sydandmacky]

Those are the Goodr Warp Gs. If you get some, tell them we sent you. We're trying to get them to work with us 😜

[@shawnconti8915]

25 pounds is light for an xc bike?

[@elibjur844]

For a trail XC bike it is

[@FrankLempka]

Not bad with pedals for FS

[@MTBMOR]

Makes me feel better about my 26.8 XC/Downcountry bike

[@sydandmacky]

We could make them lighter but it would involve sacrifices we don't want to make (less dropper, 32 instead of 34mm fork, no tire inserts, narrower rims). As is, they are about a quarter pound lighter than our previous builds, and pretty light for what is definitely a "downcountry" bike

[@Paganiproductions84]

I alwaya thought New Mexico is a Desert state with dessert hot weather show wtf .

[@sydandmacky]

That's fairly true for the southern part of the state. The northern part of the state is much more similar to Colorado.

[@MattGrovesFTW]

Spring is my least favorite season. She’s such a tease.

[@andriyturevich1834]

pls use metric))
