    Wanted to say how much I enjoyed your videos on supporting your parents efforts at racing. IMHO the best biking/family videos on the internet. I am 76 and pretty much alone in life..These videos inspired me to get back on my bike and ride. I've lived across from some pretty good trails in Arizona, and yet not ridden in a couple of decades. I own (believe it or not) 3 mtn bikes from the 1990's. One of them is currently being converted to an ebike for getting started. After surviving Covid and a heart attack I am ready to get back into the world. Lastly, I'd like to say I greatly admire and respect Macky, but I am thoroughly smitten with Syd.

      So glad to hear you're getting back out there! Have fun with it and hopefully you'll love the e-bike (we love ours)!

    Ok the "adaptive rider" that's just awesome! To see an organization put in the effort for all to enjoy is heart warming.

    Love Bentonville and love how you experienced it with friends, food, and trails. You’ve got great energy in your videos through the ups and downs of life. I raced XC years ago before getting into road biking and triathlons, but you’ve helped inspire me to get back on the trails again, so thank you!

    Great timing for me with this video to help me scout and plan. I'll be in the Bentonville area mid-December. Hoping the weather holds out so I can bring my bike along and explore the trails.

    Bentonville is about five hours away from where I live and everytime I go its my happy place. Also, as a civil engineer and always working on projects that incorporate pedestrian facilities, it makes me happy to see that the needs of the riders with disabilities are being considered in some of the trails. Apart from All American (obvious trail), Schroens Train is a perfect example of a trail that it can be converted for adaptive riding and still retain the same character from the original build. The first drop used to be a 24" wide plank into an 8' drop. The current feature still retains that same drop should a rider desire to carry the speed, but also make it rideable for anybody. Also, on my first ever trip to Bentonville I found Hamish. I have a picture of me booping Hamish while riding a Trek Domane. Cool cat.
    I could keep writing about my experiences in there, but Im afraid it will become like writing a book here :)

    Hey guys, nice vid as always. Just a question and observation: I find that in most cases even if I record in just 1080p, if I upscale it to 4k and upload it YT won't totally screw up the quality. Your footage gets violated and abused so hard by YT compression, but it doesn't if you UL in 4k. Would that be something you would consider experimenting with?

    The E-Bike is a real game changer for adaptive riders, especially MTB. I have seen many road adaptive riders in Colorado on Ride The Rockies and Bicycle Tour of Colorado. So impressed that they would hand crank up Colorado’s mountain passes.

    It was neat to see that three wheeler get around so well! He manages great for that thing...it also must be an eBike? When Macky helped him recover from that spill he took, I was wondering what he would have done with out Macky? Could he have righted himself alone? Glad to see such enthusiasm about ebikes! I got my first new Mt Bike in over 20 years and its an eBike too! I'm subscribed, how come I don't get an email wen you guys post new stuff?
