Bring a small flask of grapefruit juice, preferably *fresh squeezed,* and about 3-5min before Cramp Hill down about 8oz of it and you should be cramp-free.
I did not think I was going to watch this whole thing but it was so entertaining! It was so funny to watch both of you lean your heads into the turns and listen to Syd keep saying WOW, you are going so fast!😂
Yep, and I hope they don't mind holding that pose 19:08 for 25min because I just had to put a Freshetta Supreme pizza in the oven so I can watch the rest on a happy tummy.
The artistry of a professional racer was on full display in this video. The more I watched it, the closer I got to my monitor! Very enjoyable to watch man.
The full run shows how confidence, super fitness, discipline, and determination seperate out the expert professional from the also rans.Great format.... more please... awesome 😁👍
Made it over from your repair channel and just watched this with my 10 year old daughter and 8 year old son... Wish I could have recorded them watching... A whole lot of "how is he doing that". These two are trail gnomes for sure that love to rip, ride and build. Keep inspiring!
Super fun video, I jumped on the spin bike and and tryed to go as hard as I could, 40 minutes in the pain kicked in and I was done at around 45 minutes. Just super fun
Damn dude! You were crushing it! That was really cool to watch you both watching it.. Moving your heads back and forth through the corners was funny as hell. Great riding Macky. Mad respect.
Love all the work you guys do....definitely enjoyed the extended format with commentary! Macky's mid-ride self support comments are great, but we definitely want to see a Syd video with all her mid-ride bleep-ables.
WTF!!!! Dude that was so fast! I've ridden that combo of trails many times on my CC bike and dirt bikes. I've never gone that fast. That is true commitment on your abilities and lets not talk about the way you jam uphill. Great vid from the both of you and as always looking forward to more!
Loved it!! You guys are awesome!! Good People!! It is fun to watch and also will hold you responsible as you think thousands of people are watching this!! It could be a good motivator as you think I cannot cut out any mistakes!! You guys rock and keep getting faster and more awesome!! :)
...so, like, I don't know where you guys call home, but if you like the scenery here 9:45 then you'll love riding from the end of the road at Lindsey lake around the back side of Pinner Lake and Long lake near Grouse ridge and Carr-Feeley, which is where you'll come out - around Carr-Feeley. It's a beautiful camping day ride, especially if you're in it for the scenery not the speed.
Just incredible. All of you blow my mind. Hope to be able to do it under 1 hour one day so I can place 150th+ 😂. (My fastest time on this descent to date is 1 hour 15 mins) Love this format by the way. You two rock.
Quality stuff guys! Thought it was going to be a bit long, but really enjoyed it all the way through - your commentary was what made it, especially seeing Syd legitimately concerned for her husband's safety, even though you knew he made it through successfully (well second time anyway 😀). Thanks, and more please!
Freakin' loved it. Thought it was a blast and I learned a lot. I showed my kids this video and they were going nuts. Amazed at the speed. Duuuuuuude! Great job, Macky! Better luck next time, Syd I'll bet you know how to plug your tires now, though (not trying to bag on you; trying to turn a negative into a positive- I do that, too). I enjoyed the format for this kind of race. I'm guessing that it might be difficult to do every time so maybe keeping it for the special ones or the truly memorable ones?? My 0.02 cents. take what you want and leave the rest. Thanks!
This was a great video and interesting to see what Syd thought of it. Macky you were so fast throughout that whole race. I was exhausted after watching it😳
Very entertaining I liked it, it is a lot fun to watch especially with syd’s reactions having not seen before. I would like to see more videos like it.
Rode Downieville the Monday after the race and did it in 1hr 30 min. I was on my own so was not going hard but I could not imagine doing this in 47 minutes. I’ve never turned right onto the road before I’ve just gone straight across the road. Wonder if turning right is faster. Anyway, solid video, love watching race breakdowns.
Damn dude, I heard that pros can smoke that run in less then 50 minutes and it was so much fun watching it. I remember the 2nd time i visited downieville and tried to go fast and realized there was way more pedalling then I remembered from my first visit lol.
I saw a mountain bike trail and saw bikers come down so fast and sadly an ambulance came and I’m pretty sure it was for a biker. Wow Macky! you two are great at it!
Very cool format. Really enjoyed it. I’ll be catching up on your vids from the summer as I had a crash on Thursday and messed up my shoulder so I’ll be out 4-6 weeks.
Awesome run Macky. I was in downieville a few days after the classic. I had my shock lock during Cramp hill climb and forgot to unlock when decent third divide
Bummer! It happens... That's why we love the Jamis Portal and Hardline, the suspension doesn't have to be locked out (since we always used to forget anyway)
Damn! You look fast in your other videos but Holy Shit you were on fire!!! I appreciate this video and I’m positive it will help make people put in more effort!

Haha, I'm the guy doing 'wallrides' in my race run. Stoked to only be 10mins behind Mackys time, not bad on a hardtail!
Anyone on a hardtail instantly gets my support. Hardtail life haha!
That’s also a really good time! U and macky got great times
Nice haha
Legend
I did not think I was going to watch this whole thing but it was so entertaining! It was so funny to watch both of you lean your heads into the turns and listen to Syd keep saying WOW, you are going so fast!😂
Was laughing at the head turns as well.... I do the same and then have to watch bemused faces in the coffee shop (when watching MTB videos)
Yep, and I hope they don't mind holding that pose 19:08 for 25min because I just had to put a Freshetta Supreme pizza in the oven so I can watch the rest on a happy tummy.
OK, I've got enough time... Beer run!
The artistry of a professional racer was on full display in this video.
The more I watched it, the closer I got to my monitor!
Very enjoyable to watch man.
This format is so cool, if you could bring it back when racing comes back ut would be so sick!
This legitimately looked like the video was sped up! SO fast, great job man!
So fast!!!! Makes me want to see POV of the #1 guy--hard to picture that much faster! Nice job Mackey!
It's awesome watching you two watch Macky... your heads move back and forth with the video!
Realy like the format and Syds reactions !!
I really enjoyed this video! I will gladly watch more of these if/when you make them.
Very good banter. I had a few chuckles.
Syd has never seemed so comfortable in front of the camera!
Loved the commentary! You guys were really fun to listen to and really fun to watch! More, please.
I thought this was gonna be boring...until I started watching!
Mack is a beast!
The full run shows how confidence, super fitness, discipline, and determination seperate out the expert professional from the also rans.Great format.... more please... awesome 😁👍

That's awesome!
The commentary is great. Lots to learn and more of your personalities.
Loved this with the commentary.
Love the commentaries! Informative and great to watch! Would love to see full commentaries on both of your races!
Super fun video, I jumped on the spin bike and and tryed to go as hard as I could, 40 minutes in the pain kicked in and I was done at around 45 minutes. Just super fun
This was super enjoyable! I really like this format; it's fun and the insights can be super useful.
Thank you, Syd and Macky.
Damn dude! You were crushing it! That was really cool to watch you both watching it.. Moving your heads back and forth through the corners was funny as hell. Great riding Macky. Mad respect.
The head moving is funny as but why am i trying to bunny hop my bar stool over the rocks ha ha .
Loved watching it. I need a nap now, cuz that was stressful...
Loved this! Great having both of you as commentators
Love all the work you guys do....definitely enjoyed the extended format with commentary! Macky's mid-ride self support comments are great, but we definitely want to see a Syd video with all her mid-ride bleep-ables.
I like this! No doubt Macky you are a real athlete! Congratulations to you both.
That was awesome! You should do it for both of your rides, or switch off for each race.
Way to keep that pace the whole race. You killed it.
Having done the downhill course at my own pace...That was the most entertaining mtb race ever! Loved the commentary! You two rock!
This was awesome. I'd love to see more of these as you get back into races in 2022.
Man, Macky was flying down that course! Also: you guys are adorable.
22:32 It looks either blue or gray and if gray he's on a 2018 Santa Cruz Hightower LT.
Love being in your brains and you guys enjoying a race together after math, so fun, also you learn from doing the reviews together.
Talk about motivational: I'm a newbie mtn biker...and this video so ROCKS!!!! Thnx for sharing :-)
For some reason I've skipped this video before but it was really fun to watch. Would love to see more videos in this format.
This video was AWESOME.
watched this while packing for my trip to Moab, and I honestly couldn't think of a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon! Well done you two.
Always appreciate you sharing the life style and experience ✌️
Macky is seriously a frickin' machine!
I really injoyed the commentary on the pov. Thanks for sharing
i love how syd and MACKY tilt their head on each berm the way that the berm is going (left right)
WTF!!!! Dude that was so fast! I've ridden that combo of trails many times on my CC bike and dirt bikes. I've never gone that fast. That is true commitment on your abilities and lets not talk about the way you jam uphill. Great vid from the both of you and as always looking forward to more!

Totally not fair, Macky is a MACHINE!
SO FUN! I watched this video in chunks
Just incredible. All of you blow my mind. Hope to be able to do it under 1 hour one day so I can place 150th+ 😂. (My fastest time on this descent to date is 1 hour 15 mins)
Love this format by the way. You two rock.
That was fun to watch. You two are hilarious watching and commenting on the video. I would be down for more.
Inspirational married couple/ team!
Loved the format!
that was cool. id watch another one. Thanks yall.

My 0.02 cents. take what you want and leave the rest. Thanks!
That was fun! What a great course!
I love how you guys tilt your heads in the curves when watching the race run! Makes me feel better about doing that myself. 😄
Really enjoyed this format and the commentary, and the full run (though Downieville is great for that anyway) PoV is also really nice to see
Really like that format.
Love the commentary! It’s a diff perspective. Awesome!
nice job, guys!! great idea commentating Macky's run. I enjoyed it very much.
Loved it. More of this.
Great action! I love that Syd is leaning on turns.
That was cool as hell with you guys talking. Macky so beast!
22:30 - that poor guy. :) Fun vid- you should do more of these.
this was absolutely a Fantastic format, I loved it
Enjoyed the commentary and the format. It's interesting to see what a pro"s ride is like and to here your thoughts on your ride.
That was super fun and awesome. loved this, please do again. We need a Syd episode.
Really enjoyed watching your fast ride, nice job!
I just want to mention how cute I think you both are! So glad I found your channel! I've been binge watching all of your videos the past week! 🥰
Welcome!
I really liked this format and watching the full race is cool. Would love to see more if you can.
This was a great video and interesting to see what Syd thought of it. Macky you were so fast throughout that whole race. I was exhausted after watching it😳

Wow what a run!

Great format. I enjoyed Syd’s reactions.
That was cool, nice work Macky!
I saw a mountain bike trail and saw bikers come down so fast and sadly an ambulance came and I’m pretty sure it was for a biker.
Wow Macky! you two are great at it!
That was AWESOME!!! Can't wait to show it to Rayge and Shayla.
You guys are Awesome!
Yaaaas! Finally I get to see a fast POV run from one of you. Amazing run and you were flying! Boom!
In the zone! Great run!
Very cool format. Really enjoyed it. I’ll be catching up on your vids from the summer as I had a crash on Thursday and messed up my shoulder so I’ll be out 4-6 weeks.
Oh no! Heal fast!
Rippin run, man! I watched the whole thing when I should have been hanging with my in-laws lol.
Awesome run Macky. I was in downieville a few days after the classic. I had my shock lock during Cramp hill climb and forgot to unlock when decent third divide
Bummer! It happens... That's why we love the Jamis Portal and Hardline, the suspension doesn't have to be locked out (since we always used to forget anyway)
It was really nice to watch this, even though it made my legs and lungs hurt.
😁😂
That was frickin awesome!
That was freak'n awesome! Macky is a beast and can extend the walls of the pain-cave further than Chuck Norris 🤘
Big thumbs up! Loved the insights by Syd.
How the darn heck, do you know where the path is at this speed???INspring stuff!
Macky... thats impressive 💪
Damn! You look fast in your other videos but Holy Shit you were on fire!!! I appreciate this video and I’m positive it will help make people put in more effort!
That was mighty impressive and hella fun to watch!
Loved this!
Nice done
That was cool!!! Hope more of this stuff!!! Ride safe guys!! Stay awesome!! ✌️✌️✌️
I'd like to see Macky race in the Megavalance :D. Awesome video.
We're considering it...
Great video loved the narrative.
I mean...the guy @22:32 doesn't really need S&M stickers...he has your tire tread permanently imprinted on him. :)
😂 yeah. This one needs a sticker update.
Fortunately I think I avoided hitting him. His bike, on the other hand... 😬
So Macky it looks like did count your time. On the results page for the race you are listed as 8th overall and 6th on the DH
Weird! But awesome!
that was great. format was awesome!
Loved every second of this! You guys are awesome!
I was hoping you guys would make a video like this.🙂
