Thank you Scotty and CONGRATS!!!
🚴 Great Stuff Scotty 🚴👌🏴🏴👌
Thank you!!
This was a really good series of videos from the race! They have really showed what it is like. I've done it 3 times now and I will definitely be back again.
Wow ! Epic journey that ! Bucket list ☑️
Amazing series and insight into the tran- Madeira, hopefully 2024 is my year to enter🎉🎉
Thanks Mark! Stoked that you enjoyed it. It was brilliant, you won’t regret it. Riding the best trails with a rad bunch of people!
Bru this was awesome 👌 You and Lombardi were hooking it down that last trail🔥Great coverage!
Thanks man! What a trail that was, loved it. Was a sesh following him down that one, boys an animal!
Brilliant series
Amazing video scotty! Looked super fan..! Much love!❤
Thank you man! Stoked you enjoyed it. I’d recommend it to anyone!!
Sick trails and videos
The race looked proper fun. I just moved to mainland PT and Madeira is on the list to ride. Nice job on the video!
It was brilliant! Can't recommend Madeira as a riding location enough!
soo awesome
Thank you! :)
I really enjoyed stage 4 & 6 follow cam for a sense of the terrain.
Solo POV looks really flat, it wasn't until third person / drone footage that I realised how downhill it was!
Great stuff thanks Scotty. Really enjoyed following along. Dream to one day do this race!
Stoked that you enjoyed it! It's a brilliant race, would 100% recommend it!
Those trails look sick. Too bad that flat killed your podium chance but all in all the overall fun factor looks to be the most important.
Great series Scotty.
Couldn’t recommend the trails enough, the Freeride crew do an unreal job of looking after them! Stoked you enjoyed it. 🤝
Mint series 👌 for anyone considering it, the series definitely undersells the scale of the days and transitions, big big days but so worth it!
Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it! Stats are all there, I’d say they’re challenging but manageable days on the bike for a rider who’s out doing a few big days a month and a couple of rides a week.
@@ScottyLaughland the stats in May where all lies! 😂 A good chunk more than stated but yes, put the training in beforehand and it can be done by a weekend warrior (like me!)
That was very fun to watch! Defo makes me wanna go there
That's what we want to hear, it's a helluva a place!
Absaloutey outstanding ...inspiring 👏 🤘🤘🤘
Thanks a ton so grateful to read comments like this! 🙌
Fukkin sick bro, Aldo from recyke shout out .
Cheers bro! 🙏
Hey Scotty ! Great videos ! It all looked like so much fun, that I signed up for the summer 2024 race. Question... do you think it would be possible to do the race on a park/freeride 29er bike (like a Canyon Torque 29er) ? Would the climbing suck too much on that kind of bike ? Or should one most definitely be riding a more proper Enduro race bike ? Any thoughts about bike choices for this specific race ? Was there an overall clear choice of bike among competitors, or was there a bit of everything out there ? Thanks !!!
Scotty I have just watched all of your videos of the race, it was awesome!. My folks live there (Near machico) I’m thinking of taking the family over at some point to visit my folks (I live in Oz so it’s a bit of a mission) and doing this event, kill two birds with one stone 😄. Just curious how come you didn’t wear a full face helmet like everyone else? At times did you wish you had worn one? Would you do anything different if you were to do this event again?
Hey mate! Great questions. I’d 100% recommend it and failing not making the race, Freeride Madeira do a great job of organising shuttles to take you to the best trails. We did a day of riding with them before the race and it was awesome.
I would probably want to wear a light weight full face - next time for sure!
Just wondering if the shuttles are including in the elevation and kilometers? As the days seem very big. I have done 40km 1500m elev. gain Enduros but they were just one day long.
Generally you’d take 1 or 2 big shuttles in a day. The stats were for the descent total, they were big but brilliant days on the bike…
Thanks for the info !
Who did you fly with? I'm hoping to do the trans Madeira next year and I've never flown with a bike before 😮
Flew with Jet2 from Manchester, they fly direct a couple of times a week and were reasonable and easy to deal with. No problems with bringing bike either just make sure you get a descent bag to protect it! Can't recommend the race enough...
Just to add a friend and I flew from Gatwick to Madeira in May and another pair of friends flew from Bristol, all with easyJet and no issues at all
…and then…with a v10?!
