OUT OF OUR COMFORT ZONE (BC Bike Race Day 6 - Campbell River)

[@sydandmacky]

Can't wait for the final day (Day 7)? Watch it early on Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/87749888

Syds’ ASMR threshold wattage pep-talks to herself are a thing if wonder.

[@ricomacpherson6845]

Well said

[@atomsolomon]

how does your channel not have more subs/views?!? Really cool videos and top notch editing and commentary.

[@christiannickel9801]

Guessing that it's because they don't use big yellow text and a clickbait title. But you're correct, top notch editing, action and story telling!

[@johnhudrick]

I swear I left a message they need to put video on syd fixes bikes so some of those come over here but I do see my comment. 😅

[@rorystorm4284]

Well said! I'm with you.

[@jasont.5523]

Great video, guys! As a Campbell River local, it’s really interesting to see the trails ridden at race pace. Totally different line selection than what most of us do on our normal rides! There’s a ton of volunteer time that goes into the trail prep for these races, hope you enjoyed it and we hope to see you back again!

[@chilloutyaall]

You guys are great Pros, because your comfortable being uncomfortable 😎👍

[@stevencole7331]

I would say both of you were very consistent in all disciplines of each stage so far . You could almost set your clock by it . Your comfort zone is much larger now . I would say your filming causes you to loose a spot or two but being in the top ten in a stage race as difficult as this is impressive . For Syd coming back from her chronic injury to do something like this shows her tenacity for not giving up . Mackey is just a machine .

[@darkriverracing22]

Usually a man playing a banjo in the middle of the woods is a scary thing!

[@sydandmacky]

😂😂

[@mrvwbug4423]

That is an impressive result against a field that is basically the who's who of North American XC racing.

[@bardoruns3827]

Those shots that the media team got of you guys are so epic! Love your videos, so happy I found this channel. Buying my first mountain bike tomorrow I’m so excited

[@reineherrera8897]

I live in South Florida and whenever I speak to people about XC racing down here to those that ride and don’t live in Florida, they look puzzled. Yes, we don’t have 20 minute climbs followed by an uninterrupted 5 minute descent. We are flat with a tonnnn of short punchy climbs which means if you want to go fast, you are pedaling absolutely everywhere. Death by 1000 cuts.

[@reinerjulleza5098]

Hi Syd and Macky! Please keep making videos like this! Mountain biker here from the Philippines! Ride safe!

[@reidh]

I swore I was subscribed but your little segment to sub made me check.. turns out I wasn’t! So thanks for reminding me 😂

[@AaronSchroder]

Loving this series! Great footage and the lead-in sequence is awesome. Thanks for taking us along on your race.

[@alexjohnson4146]

I dig the addition of the Onboard footage spliced into the off board with the base sound left in. Real nice touch.

[@tenpennyguy]

Syd - The 2:33 is pretty well what you lost to issues with the camera mounts. A pain for you folks but we're grateful you put in the extra effort & carry the extra weight so we can learn a bit about your races.

[@pucevelour]

Kabush is 46 years old! He's impressive.

[@sevenninthsfabmachine]

Also, Katerina Nash, who’s leading the women’s overall, is 45 years old! Impressive indeed.

[@ronhuffman7973]

Had to think a bit about why I find your channel so interesting, so here goes! • Places and trails I’ll never see in person • Your race strategy process • How you tackle adversity • You show how tough the sport is both mentally and physically. • Bike parts choices and why • Bike prep • Bike choices • Training • Race etiquette Lots to be learned, and entertaining! Thanks for working so hard!

[@tanderson1963]

Hey Guys, so glad I got to make it in your video at 22:43. We got lost on those back roads looking for that spot to cheer you two on but managed to get there and back to the Finish to cheer you there as well. Great vids!!

[@sydandmacky]

Thanks for cheering!!

[@bonkasaurus_wrecks]

Always enjoy Syd's incoherent ramblings when she's suffering on the bike! 😂

[@chrisbailey2861]

I love how you time the third party video into your own video....super cool having that other vantage. Nice job!!!! Oh...and great job on the race and the rest of the video. Always look forward to your content. (...and yes, I'm subcribed....and asking my riding partners if they've subscribed. 😊) As always, thanks for bringing us along!!!!!

[@GeekonaBike]

THis looks like a fantastic trail to ride when there is time to 'stop & smell the ferns'

[@1pho3nixmatt]

Relentless day!

[@stoggs85]

Great video again. This stage is very much like the xc racing and riding I do in the south of the UK. Lots of tree dodging and fern brushing in the summer. Looking forward to last stage😎

[@GreatCreative]

Love the Sweat Cam footage. That's how I see the trail on most hot-day rides. 😬

[@alexalpizar4096]

Exelente videos ,hi from Costa Rica and Texas Lubbock

[@Team81MTB]

Man, that is my type of course. Rolling, some tight single track. Great race for both of you. Sorry about the GoPro giving you trouble Syd. I was betting that you would pass Lauren at some point. One more day. Go get em!! 👍👊

[@revelintheride2639]

You guys are crushing!! I have now got my husband hooked on watching your videos with me :)

[@davidharder9779]

That drone footage is so cool. And I love it when Macky verbal pushes himself

[@jeffk433]

Your daily recovery plan has been awesome. Great prep work by yourselves and coach on being ready for an epic week. Eager to see the next video as Syd hands out another cliffhanger at the end.

[@windmillcancersurvivor2568]

Two elite athletes at the top of your game mixing it up with the best!

[@dankochanek8056]

On the rev limiter the whole race. Love it!!

[@toolazytoo]

These trails were next-level beautiful.

[@funiguy8779]

More Epicness guys..love it!! 💕

[@86309]

doing great! almost at 100K as well...party on that day!

[@bellarogers7202]

Caught myself talking to you both saying “reel them in”!! Great job both of you.

[@JasonFoxLCB]

That's not sweat on the lens, it's a ProMist +5. Ah, production humor. Apologies.

[@razmtb5028]

love it, congratsss

[@ronhuffman7973]

Enjoy the onboard video! Intensity is awesome!

[@Jean-LucHuynh]

Another exciting stage. For some reason I was intently listing for sounds of riders coming from behind.

[@michaelfox2501]

Keep on rocking it guys

[@thealliest]

That was amazing! Probably the most beautiful trail I’ve ever seen. And your riding was impressive. Great job!

[@RyandeMilliano]

Amazing to see you guys racing on familiar trails near home, between Snowden and Cumberland we are quite spoiled! Continue to be awesome.

[@pauleddy5146]

I thought these dropped on Fridays? Ha! No matter, I'm here for the algorithm push. I watch early like everyone here should on Patreon. If only burritos . . .

[@sydandmacky]

We've been doing Tuesday and Friday for this series! Thanks for the support!

[@brettandrewclarke]

Great vid as per you guys. Beautiful surrounds up there.

[@kittykat7618]

Let’s go I can’t wait to watch this new video!

[@tomassanesson902]

Awesome video

[@curtislee6242]

Great video guys, the pitfalls of being a youtuber and pro mtb rider. How the do those first place riders go so fast, it's insane.

[@BrianMaynardLetsDoThisThing]

Beautiful trails. Well done

[@andresbermudez6894]

Great videos in a great race! Just wondering if Macky's tire consumption is much higher than Syd's? Not only is he much faster but I also can hear him doing threshold braking.

[@chrisb2609]

terrain very similar to riding in the upper penninsula of Michigan

[@dubaa27]

I love your videos. If I could subscribe twice I would!!!!

[@Limestream73]

I use the USWE Gripare Magnetic Tube holder. Correctly placed it snap back easier than the original hose holder.

[@bodhi47]

Doing great.

[@MattGrovesFTW]

Ever consider doing one of the Epic Series? Cape or Swiss.

[@damnedlock2956]

the trail seems harder than it looked on camera..I've ridden trails like this and its rough...the views were awesome tho.

[@rjoly8029]

You two definitely brought the dry desert conditions....so dry. Also your left shifter? Dropper, fork lock??

[@sydandmacky]

Combo shock lockout and dropper post

[@rjoly8029]

@@sydandmacky nice!

[@tygastfield613]

Great job! Do you both have people on the course to give you additional bottles of water or were those volunteers from BC Bike Race itself?

[@sydandmacky]

There were neutral aid stations where you could fill up your bottle but we asked a friend to provide bottle hand ups for us so we could get additional bottles of our prepared drink mixes.

[@bhenry5091]

Not much old growth left in Snowden forest!

[@Bringyourownhammer]

👍

[@FastToysClub]

How do you manage your GoPros to record for 2h or even 2.5h? Mine dies after 1.5h…

[@sydandmacky]

We turn them on and off throughout the race

[@jonathanwilliams9132]

Heck ya bud, keep at her!

[@cjg1482]

What tires are you two running?

[@Manning26]

I know Macky is running Maxxis Aspens, not 100% if Syd has Aspens too.

[@sydandmacky]

Syd went for Rekon Races

[@BlackMan614]

You were on Katherine's tail for so long, that had to be hard on her knowing you were right behind her. I guess that is what separates a pro from an amateur.

[@brassmnky33]

I would think the punchy climbs mixed with downhills would reward the more technical athlete and the cardio kings would rather just do all the climbing at once? Being fast on the downs you carry more speed into every climb and have time to rest in between climbs.

[@shawnconti8915]

Just an observation… Bikes overall are to heavy!! I would have liked to see you both on Ht bikes for this stage. Full carbon, no dropper posts, lighter tires ect. 17.5-18.5 pounds without bottles cameras ect, med size. Macky locking the rear wheel to often,more flow. Much love!! ❤

[@paulwall5706]

its all about how many Views U get on a Video

[@Barry101er]

That was so great to watch.
