They wouldn't be able to agree on the terms of the contract I'm sure. Those world tour teams and the uci want your soul, worse than the UFC too and that's saying allot
Let's hope that this is the start of something big. Gravel/MTB maration racing coverage arguably is in its infancy, but it seems so promising. May this American style of racing grow as big as European road cycling!
Check out the two pickups at the first right turn in Leadville. WTFO?!? Come on boys, let’s get your one cop to police the start and clear the roads for a minute or so!
Chopper coverage was awesome. Every better version that I cannot wait for....drone coverage. Can you imagine flying right behind Keegan on one of those descents...
How was this great coverage? They told us the whole point was to see if Keegan was going to break the course record. Nearly all the footage of the men's race was of Keegan and they didn't tell us if he broke the record. Seems like shit coverage to me.
Heli!! Yes! Thank you!! Feedback to editors. Go watch Cape Epic coverage, less or no cutbacks to commentators! Great shots of riders! Hope we can get this live feed! Y’all need crop duster guys w the doors open! Thanks for this though! Huge step up in coverage 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@ervin7178 he's raced the mixed relay at worlds and won silver. He has his share of MTB national championships as a junior and senior rider. It seems gravel and ultra long MTB races are a lot more interesting to him though. 20yrs ago, marathon MTB races were a lot longer than they are now and would have suited him better.
That first right hand turn already showing the safety concerns of these non sanctioned events with no road closure. A field of 100's turns into two oncoming trucks!!
Great recap, Janelle and Kimo! It’s cool to see the attacks in real time. You can’t feel the suffering from the helo vantage point, but I remember that plenty well.
need to adopt coverage style for trail runners during week of mont blanc utmb / gtws (golden trail world series) ...having the alps as a stage backdrop is hard to beat tho
What sense does it make for the analysts to be in the heli looking at a screen rather than at start finish looking at heli pictures? Having them in the air takes them away from the action.
I learned something about the Leadville Trail 100 MTB just now. It's long and it's steep, that much I already knew. But why do they have 'Trail' and 'MTB' in the name? I learned why roadies win it - it is a dirt road course. Does anybody know if there is any single track? If so, how long is it? Did any of the bikes have suspension forks? Whatever - the bird's eye view certainly removed any mystique that I had imagined. It's just a tedious grind.
Keegan’s time was about 45 minutes faster than Lance’s best time after racing the Tour and admittedly doping. I hope Keegan is racing clean but beating one of the best cyclist ever, while doping, sure makes me wonder how he does it.
Interesting that they don’t highlight the course record being broken by 15 minutes. Yeah, I wouldn’t play that up either. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. As a commenter below said, “Keegan Lance Armstronged the 💩 out of everyone!”
Great coverage, but a small nitpick.. I think Ruth Winder actually goes by “Ruth Edwards” these days after marrying Zach Edwards, the ace bike mechanic from Boulder Grupetto.
Hmmm After doing the inaugural race (maybe 30 of us?) and then the year Discovery Channel took over, watching these big $ event productions bleed the spiritual character of another OG humble mountain race feels weird. Like drones are not permitted but a heli with two commentators is fine? not feeling inspired to return yet apparently many others are. 🤷🏽♂ One thing is certain; KS is a freakin’ beast! 🙏🏾
alexi always in the wheels of others aka wheelsucker, the last part she was in the wheel of that guy who she beated in the last Km...if that guy wasn't there she wasn't second periode!
You're totally right! But sometimes it takes a while to talk about the lungs, heart, veins, mind etc when hovering over the race as the action heats up!
Horrible idea to have the commentators in a helicopter, the sound was bad, the shot was bad and it made the video unwatchable. Also side note, that's Horrible for the environment.
WTF with the “EBIKE” not on the same day as people that are really racing…NO EBIKES…that EBIKE took the spot of an actual bike rider that is 🐮💩!! NO EBIKES
An exciting video ruined every 10 seconds by showing the commentators in the helicopter. Nobody needs to see you to hear your comments. Had to turn it off it was unbearable.
To each their own…don’t ride it if you’re not inclined. Plenty of others are drawn to the challenge, however. I rode it once and have the buckle, so I’ll say it this way: I don’t have great memories of the Leadville riding per se, but I will never forget the experience. There is the pre-race stuff, the town, the majesty of the start, and the fun of getting your buckle and finisher’s jacket. But the real reason to do this race is to see what you’re made of and prove that you can go far beyond what your legs are willing to do. With a bit of honesty, it’s also to brag to every MTBer you ride with that you did Leadville. BTW, if you want a truly ripping singletrack race experience, try Pierre’s Hole. It will not disappoint.
Are you kidding! Full 16 min recap the next day!!! Wow. Good job !
The content they pump out on this channel never misses! So good. Makes me want to sell everything and move to the mountains and ride all the bikes
Props to the production/editing team. This recap is great.
RHETT!! So cool to see you comment on this, do you race?
I can't believe how fast they turned it around.
I ride, but I dont race, my wife Tilly was there shooting the race, shes a photographer.@@chax8587
Yeah 100x better than the UCI cycling world champs race coverage and highlights
Keegan for a wildcard at Paris roubaix
They wouldn't be able to agree on the terms of the contract I'm sure. Those world tour teams and the uci want your soul, worse than the UFC too and that's saying allot
@@timtaylor9590this
Better coverage than we've gotten from the UCI world champs
Hell yeah to this coverage! Would love this at all the LTGP events!
And the LTGP+
@@ghpatriotLTGPQWERTYP+
So sick, please keep doing these.
Way to go, LifeTime for the great footage. It was exciting to watch. Thanks Kimo and Janelle.
That was awesome race coverage. Loved it!
Let's hope that this is the start of something big. Gravel/MTB maration racing coverage arguably is in its infancy, but it seems so promising. May this American style of racing grow as big as European road cycling!
Great race coverage, thank you.

UNSAT!!
Seriously. Who are those idiots? Everyone knows there’s a race going on. Also where is the police?
What happened to Lachlan Morton?
If I remember well, he had a mechanical at the wrong moment.
Keegan and Sofia are both amazing!! Very exciting!!thanks for the coverage!!! Congrats to all the awesome riders!!
Great coverage - thank you!!
Great job covering this race!!
That was awesome! Thanks so much for making it and posting!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great LT 100 coverage. There is no race like it . Can’t wait for next year and get back on doing Leadville again .
Wow a genuine highlight package! Great job planning and executing this video! 👏
This is an amazing series with great coverage and commentary!
Big Ups Dylan J
It's great that you have early highlights rather than finishing the whole series.
Really liked this coverage! This is great!!
I have just started MTB Racing in busy roads and captured as town adventure video, please do watch and if you like some or any part you can comment
This was a great highlight reel thank you!
Hi Janelle! Great job announcing!
I love the Call of a Lifetime series
Near miss during the "neutral" start with those two stopped cars.
Amazing work! Thanks!
Chopper coverage was awesome. Every better version that I cannot wait for....drone coverage. Can you imagine flying right behind Keegan on one of those descents...
Riding like this Keegan should be doing the marathon world cup last week at Glasgow 😉
He should be there but I suspect the level is far higher. Also, more money in this game apparently.
Thank you for doing this video.
Great recap coverage!!
This is what we like to see! Ltgp getting better. Better coverage than we've gotten from the UCI world champs.
Great coverage!

Commentators make the presentation look more personal and adds a positive element to the vid.
Agreed 100%

Keegan doesn't get the respect he deserves. Put an absolute whooping on those boys today. He is on a whole other level.
How? Everyone expects him to win nearly every event he enters unless something goes very wrong😅
Someone needs to step much. At this point, Keegan isn’t even racing them
Maybe he can try racing on another level, like marathon worlds?
@ervin7178 he's raced the mixed relay at worlds and won silver. He has his share of MTB national championships as a junior and senior rider. It seems gravel and ultra long MTB races are a lot more interesting to him though. 20yrs ago, marathon MTB races were a lot longer than they are now and would have suited him better.
OUTSTANDING job LTGP!!! The day of was awesome and this recap was incredible

Awesome racing and the video production was super neat!
sick!!!! great coverage
fantastic thank you
I didn't see any mountain biking ?!
Best doper of the day!
Good work you two… excellent overview coverage 👌

This is what we like to see! Ltgp getting better
Is the descent back down the route the slower riders are climbing or did I misunderstand was I was seeing?
Imagine dying up Columbine in first place and then an e-bike passes you 😅
Great content
Keegan should of been riding that other chipper MTB race in Glasgow yesterday on that sort of form :)
They test for doping there
HAHA! @@davidc342
You remember how he did at Cape Epic?
need to adopt coverage style for trail runners during week of mont blanc utmb / gtws (golden trail world series) ...having the alps as a stage backdrop is hard to beat tho
0:15 .....H&R shotgun......i used to make those at the factory
this helecoptor coverage is DOPE!
GO TEAM !!!!!
What sense does it make for the analysts to be in the heli looking at a screen rather than at start finish looking at heli pictures? Having them in the air takes them away from the action.
Wow! Lifetime didn't wait three months to release this footy. Good job?
So what was the winning time?
why cut to the helicopter every 3 seconds? my god keep the focus on the riders.
Great live visual coverage of the racers but visuals of the commentators 🤷🏻♂️
Awesome coverage! And fast turnaround to put it online! Makes me willing to race Leadville next year 😁
You and the hundreds of us that apply and don't get in😅
Zach Calton… missed all the shoutouts and got 6th

I didn't see KS's finish time.
How does Keegan keep doing this? Does he get tested?
Do any of them? No.
@@LifeCycle1978 Pretty sure they do get tested... keegan uploaded a story a couple of weeks ago getting tested by USADA
I think USADA came up to him right after the finish for a test.
He’s not even going for a rainbow jersey. Vam Der Poele is probably better.
Keegan’s time was about 45 minutes faster than Lance’s best time after racing the Tour and admittedly doping. I hope Keegan is racing clean but beating one of the best cyclist ever, while doping, sure makes me wonder how he does it.
The music is a little tedious.
😂 Keegan just Lance Armstronged the 💩 outta everyone!
Well put.
Jeezus! Almost got wiped out on first corner by hitting cars 😅
They are riding mountain bikes, but that is a road race. No mtb terrain?
Interesting that they don’t highlight the course record being broken by 15 minutes. Yeah, I wouldn’t play that up either. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. As a commenter below said, “Keegan Lance Armstronged the 💩 out of everyone!”
Lifetime? is this as in Lifetime Fitness? If not what is the lifetime in this context?
Yes, Lifetime Fitness. They have run Leadville for many years now.
Great coverage, but a small nitpick.. I think Ruth Winder actually goes by “Ruth Edwards” these days after marrying Zach Edwards, the ace bike mechanic from Boulder Grupetto.
Great gravel race on mountian bikes. 😂 great race though and good coverage!
don't need to see the people in the heli.
bro just earned himself a drug test
Get that damn intrusive helicopter and the evil mopeds the hell out of this event. 🥴
“DIG DEEP”…… into your wallet. Lifetime is a money freight train.
And has no idea how to organize races either.
Hmmm

Awesome coverage but the presenters really need to learn how to pronounce all of the riders' names.
Glad we got so many views of the commentators in th heli
Jfc find something else to complain about
So much for leadville being grassroot racing, heli and everything. Zero desire to participate now.
i expected much much more from these 16 min video.
He says “Mountainbike”
She says “Mount-ann-bike”
I think it’s a 30’s & under thing…
hmmm
alexi always in the wheels of others aka wheelsucker, the last part she was in the wheel of that guy who she beated in the last Km...if that guy wasn't there she wasn't second periode!
comes down to who has the best legs; is SO WORN OUT find a new phrase please.... it's lungs, heart, veins, mind and all...
You're totally right! But sometimes it takes a while to talk about the lungs, heart, veins, mind etc when hovering over the race as the action heats up!
Imagine pronouncing the winner's name wrong the entire broadcast...SMH.
Horrible idea to have the commentators in a helicopter, the sound was bad, the shot was bad and it made the video unwatchable. Also side note, that's Horrible for the environment.
Want actual race coverage, get 90% commentary.
Why would I want a shot of two people in a helicopter?
WTF with the “EBIKE” not on the same day as people that are really racing…NO EBIKES…that EBIKE took the spot of an actual bike rider that is 🐮💩!! NO EBIKES
That was our media team capturing footage :)
An exciting video ruined every 10 seconds by showing the commentators in the helicopter. Nobody needs to see you to hear your comments. Had to turn it off it was unbearable.
Not only is the helicopter audio kinda horrible, the carbon emissions from the helicopter are incredibly excessive and unnecessary.
HAHHAHA what
@@matt.rraw. did I stutter?
And yet.....you watched it. lol
@@oldmanbucksaw okay carbon ranger HAHA
Pretty much a gravel race. Who wants to ride fire roads on a mountain bike? Not me
To each their own…don’t ride it if you’re not inclined. Plenty of others are drawn to the challenge, however.
I rode it once and have the buckle, so I’ll say it this way: I don’t have great memories of the Leadville riding per se, but I will never forget the experience. There is the pre-race stuff, the town, the majesty of the start, and the fun of getting your buckle and finisher’s jacket. But the real reason to do this race is to see what you’re made of and prove that you can go far beyond what your legs are willing to do. With a bit of honesty, it’s also to brag to every MTBer you ride with that you did Leadville.
BTW, if you want a truly ripping singletrack race experience, try Pierre’s Hole. It will not disappoint.
any choice to turn this fucking music off?!
WTF, about 10 years ago used to be 3000+ riders. I can barely see 100. Is leadville dead?
What happened to Lachlan Morton?
He got a flat early and was not able to catch back up
