It was fun to see Brian riding in the video. It showcases his abilities instead of just seeing it from his camera. Syd and Macky you both are great, thanks for the great videos.
I always know it’s syd on the cam when the tires just tap the rocks, Oh and well the voice too but Mackey is banging rocks and loading the suspension while the tires dig in. Different styles, it’s all cool! I’m bummed I didn’t hit south mtn when I was in town last week. Went to north mtn (don’t waste your time), east mtn had a crazy DH run from the top next to the cell towers! Next time!
Hey another good ‘enduro ‘ video would be cockpit setup. Specifically bar height on the steer tube. Low vrs high and finding the optimal height for the individual
Nice video and it looked like some nice riding. The waterfall looked very intense, nice riding. When you were in Sedona did you run into Jeff Lenosky, I think he was out there. Take care
Lol the secret to a perfect high5... It is cool to see bkxc from a different perspective. Oh and what kind of helmets are those? They loom like they have speakers in them.... I do have to say, I don't watch u guys often, but you two are amazing. You guys are too cute, relationship goals for real...
Thanks! The helmets are the Lazer Revolution MIPS. No speakers, but good ear protection if you end up going down! And you can pull them off if you don't care about the protection and they look more like a traditional helmet.
Great video guys, really enjoying your channel. i also wondered if you had any footage from your time in Innerleithen, Scotland. I remember you mentioning the switch backs in one of your previous videos! Where else in Scotland did you guy's ride ?
Talk to me about enduro suspension set up. What is your ‘rule of thumb’ on sag and tire pressures. Keep up the great job on the videos. And you guys should ride with Steve and Tess from the Dusty Betty channel.
We're planning to do a video about suspension setup and testing, so stay tuned. And we actually rode with Steve and Tess and that'll be next Monday's video!
Been running the Martello in back on my 29er with the Goma front and feel like it is an awesome combo. You guys hitting any of the Epic Ride race Season????
Hey got a question about brakes and the way you hang your bikes. I have Shimano XT brakes on 3 different bikes for storage in my shed I had to hang them similarly to the way you do off the back of your van. I started getting soft lever feel at all the wrong times during rides. Do you experience this also? If not what brakes do you run?I have repeatedly bled breaks they get better for a ride or 2 then back to soft feel again.
If we have issues with soft lever feel, we just bleed them and then they're good to go. Sounds like you may have a leak somewhere in one of your lines. I would take it to a shop or contact Shimano to see if they can diagnose the problem. Hanging like that can tell you if there's air in your lines, but a bleed should take care of it..
Hey guys, is there any chance You can get Vittoria graphene tyres for test and review from the sponsor? (if they are your sponsor, I'm not sure-bad memory) Heard good things about road one laaaasting.
They are a sponsor and we've been riding the graphene for a couple years (the MTB version). It's nice and sticky and lasts better than the non-graphene version. Haven't tried the road one because we don't have road bikes 😁
ok .. undoubtedly your videos I like, traced beautiful, very gooda pproach .. congratulations, I try to steal some secrets on some steps .. good, sorry for any errors, I have to use the translator
We've been working with Vittoria for a number of years now and their recent treads and compounds are outstanding. Martello is our favorite for dry conditions and the Mota is a great wet weather tire that does surprisingly well in the dry. If you're interested in trying them out, we've got a code (sydandmacky2018) that will get you 20% off through their online store (store.vittoria.com)
I was checking out the Mota. I do most of my riding where I live in Vermont. Thank you for the great videos you and Syd are doing. Keep having fun on the trails.

Still binge-ing on Syd and Mackey. As I watch I see Syd getting better.
It was fun to see Brian riding in the video. It showcases his abilities instead of just seeing it from his camera. Syd and Macky you both are great, thanks for the great videos.
Cool to see BKXC from a different pov
Nice! Syd’s riding is pretty impressive. Haven’t seen a chic ride that waterfall. South mountain is some sick riding!
Love love love National downhill! Great vid, guys!
“Macky married his comment section.” Haha. Love this. Looked like a good time. Was cool to see you two connect with @BKXC.
Love watching you guys do terrain like this!
Super Fun riding with you guys! Thanks for letting me tag along!
great to meet you!!
Love seeing alittle into the typical van life day in the beginning of the video🤘
Great video, the whole ride had the bet 1 liner comments ever!! Thanks for letting us tag along.
Great to meet you guys!
Great Video guys. Very entertaining and up beat. Thanks...
I know those trails by heart!!!!
Great ride guys, fun times with a great riding crew.
That must have been a great day at the bike... looks awsome!
Cool vid as always. Peace
Nice ride... You guys look so cool + awesome
Hey Syd and Mackey, I enjoyed your video very much. It’s also cool to get a different perspective of Brian 👍 Syd you cased him seriously ...
Great video, highly entertaining.
Went to Sedona on Sunday..It was cold but gold...South mountain is amazing!! Great Video!!
Keep up the videos guys!!!
Will do!
That was fun seeing the "Follow Cam" on Brian. Usually you don't get to see what a good rider he is.
Great video, love the collaberation with bkxc
Awesome video guys 👍and gal 👍 place looks awesome.
Sweet! Was already following Macky on Instagram and came here from BKXC. Subscribed!
Welcome!
It’s cool seeing Brian on the other side of the camera.
LOL @ "Macky married his comment section"
Enjoying your vids, so I sub'd up!
😁
Awesome riding. I have to make a road trip to South Mountain from LA.
It's rad!
Nice edit, clearly helps to have two people shooting
It does! Although the funny thing is that this day only one of our GoPros was working so we had to keep swapping it back and forth 😀
You need to get the smallest size Instant Pot (or other brand) to add to your kitchen.

Yeah, it's a good one!
Subscribed and Bell rang. Brian sent me

I got a little seasick
Hey guys! Lemme know when you're back in town! I ride national just about every weekend!
The nice thing about the ground in AZ is you get a really fast roller tire in the rear. whats mud? nice tacky ground everywhere
Great video! What are you're favorite places to rice in New Mexico?
South Boundary, Angel Fire, Tierra Trails jumps, Northside at Taos Ski Valley. There's some good stuff!
SYD and MACKY Thank you! Keep it up. You are an inspiration!
SYD doing that at 15:00???!!!! WTFREAK!!
Nice, huh? -M
ummm...yeah...RAD!!
Nice video and it looked like some nice riding. The waterfall looked very intense, nice riding. When you were in Sedona did you run into Jeff Lenosky, I think he was out there. Take care
Yup, rode with him for a bit too!
SYD and MACKY Very nice, he is one hell of a rider, I was thinking he would have loved that waterfall, he has those crazy trials skills. Take care
Yup, there's a video of him riding it. Super impressive.

We rode Glentress, the golfie, Innerliethen, Thornielee, and Yair. All right in the same area because we stayed in Peebles.

just subbed..kool channel

Y'all found out Brian's changing clothes secret, lol
Great vid guys!!! But who's that BKXC dude?😉haha
Some rando 😂😂
Those trails look awesome! Have you ever cleared the waterfall?
Nope. Gonna have to give it another try next time we're there. -M
Great vid guys...if I can just make a small suggestion...might want to look into getting a dead cat(wind muff) for your GoPro camera🤙🏼
We have them, it was just really windy
This was pretty fun guys! Macky, what model of Osprey hydration you were using on this video looks pretty sleek.
Osprey duro. It's technically a trail running pack but turns out it's the best Enduro pack ever 😛
SYD and MACKY sweet! Thank u Macky!
I was wondering where did you get that bike rack from and the name brand. I have been looking all over for something like that.
The rack is made by Recon Racks. The swinging bumper we designed and had built.
Awesome and thank you. Love your channel.
Thanks!
What rice cooker are you using.
Off brand Japanese. Found it on Amazon: amzn.to/2J0Ll2o
awesome meeting you two and riding with you on the BKXC ride in Sedona!! anytime you're in the PHX area hit me up. National (Natti) is my home trail!!
That waterfall is super intimidating in person! You guys killed it. The question is... did Brian ride it?! 😀
One of our cameras was in the fritz so we didn't get as much footage as usual. You'll have to wait for Brian's video to find out 😉😉
What kind of helmet is that and where do you get the ear protection?
It's the Lazer Revolution MIPS and comes with the optional ear protectors!
thank you for the reply. Keep coming with the great content.

Nice ride. Great lines. Hope you didn't wear Brian out. He's trying (lol) to get in shape for his Tibet trip.
We did our best to wear him out. He was a bit tired the next day 😉
ok .. undoubtedly your videos I like, traced beautiful, very gooda pproach .. congratulations, I try to steal some secrets on some steps .. good, sorry for any errors, I have to use the translator
I am curious how you picked Vittoria tires. Do you ride them in other riding conditions. How do you like this brand overall.
We've been working with Vittoria for a number of years now and their recent treads and compounds are outstanding. Martello is our favorite for dry conditions and the Mota is a great wet weather tire that does surprisingly well in the dry.

Mota is AWESOME in VT. That's what we were in when racing there last year!
Make a video about your gear
Gotta say, I’m not a huge fan of those helmets. The round thing around the ears looks like a robot from The Jetsons. Everything else, good.
Haha! We can remove that but like the ear protection.
How about that hiking attire on the emo chick at 7:30
well spotted, we hadn't noticed that!!!
More Patreon beggars...smh
