Yes, Macky has mad descending skills and great fitness which allowed him to reel in so many riders for a top ten - but his secret weapon is his grace, calm, and friendly nature with the other competitors. Chapeau Macky - you are a winner!
I have a question,me being a life long mtn bike rider,(55)well bmx first ,actually i recall only road bikes 10speeds were the only peddel bikes,any way i was wondering on his derailer and his 3 pc crank,what are the teeth count on each including the derailer? The reqson i ask is when he come to riders he is about to overtake and pass he does so quickly and they dont return the overtake pass.i know body strenth is a factor but i also know the teeth count on derailer spkts and 3 piece sprkts will be a big factor if not as much as human factor if not more.i dont see any one over taking him on this video.i know a racer if teeth count is out of norm as i suspect,one must have secrets but id like two know if thats how he is able to overtake and pass others.
A gentleman in beast mode. No big, just downhill on a slick goat path through the clouds, at 30+mph, cranking 500+ watts, peaking at 800+, casually wiping mountain muck off the lens for the folks at home. Riding on the edge, literally.
Jep, also saw that and was wondering. But you know, sometimes the HR sensors get confused (bad signal) and you see these artifacts. Sometimes I also see something ~80, when I am more at like 180 :D And when you listen to his breathing it really sounds like >170
@@DerDanachDenkendeit may be, that during that full blown sprint, he went anaerobic, the HF, went down, while fully focusing on the muscles, and ramped up tight after. I felt (and hand measured to check the sports watch) that often during very hard gym excersizes.
@@timdye6602 and he killed it! It never ceases to amaze me what they both can do. I have to see it in context of things I know more about to realize how much work they've put in truly.
Personally, I like the higher camera view. You can see more of what’s ahead. But as an arthritic 90 year old with COPD, I am just grateful to watch. Didn’t have this in my day.
Damn I'm only halfway but watching Macky reel all those riders in on the climb like they were standing still was SO DISRESPECTFUL in the absolute most polite way. It's as if they weren't even moving. BRAVO! Now I must get back to the rest of the race. Update that was an awesome race and the other riders should be grateful of two things 1. The race wasn't any longer and 2. There weren't more climbs because Macky absolutely had the Head the Heart the Lungs and the Legs to reel every last one of them in.
I have never watched a video like this before, let alone a 40 minute one. I just couldn't stop watching. Talk about armchair adrenalin! Well done, and congrats!
Ton of respect to anyone who can complete this course. Someone who starts 100th and finishes in top ten is a super athlete. Especially in those conditions. Well done.
I've been combing through other riders' channels to try to find followcam footage of you. If you haven't already found it, Baptiste Bachelet has about ten minutes of good footage of your riding in the middle of the race before you disappear into the distance. It really shows how much you were sliding around in those muddy sections. What a great performance!
That was one hell of a race Macky. A while ago I said that you were one of the best riders in the country. I now have to correct myself. You are one of the best riders in the WORLD!! With a start closer to the front, I believe you might have won the megavalanche. Congratulations bud. Very proud of you!! 👊💪👍
This was the best 40mins of my last few weeks. Being in hospital with pneumonia and not being able to ride, this really had me on the edge of my seat. Is there any MTB discipline you can’t ride Macky??? You were an animal on this course mate. A massive congratulations mate. Well done big fella 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
I TOTALLY see this one as Mackey saying, "now that I know the race a bit, let's see if I can do better than 8th next time". Though 8th is incredible! And I LOVE that you showed more things - your power, your heart rate, your speed. It was almost like I was watching Ironman from his mask...
Careful... It's quite an addictive race :) Super result, if only for a better start then I definitely think podium is on. The Mega from the Glacier is a totally different beast and really will play into your strength on the pedals... Awesome!
OMG! I saw the glove and was like, "oh! They like Syd and Macky!" And then I realized 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ haha. Stellar attack Macky!!! I also enjoyed that this was like a lot of Megavalanche videos--no preamble or voiceover at the start. You can tell how much you're focusing because you're so quiet! I'm used to hearing the snips of you talking to yourself more 😂 amazing job!
Some video a long time ago Syd made a comment that there's few to none that she trusts their line choice over Macky. There were some sweet line choices that proved her point perfectly. Super stoked to see you in the Mega!
Macky, when I watched you in the BC Bike Race last year I was absolutely impressed with your performance knowing the level of riders you were up against. I had an all new respect for you. Watching this video, that respect is now through the roof! OMG! I was on the edge of my seat for the entire video. I couldn't take my eyes off of it. What an amazing display of skill and nerves, riding what looks unrideable. I swear that my HR was almost as high as yours while watching from my chair, cheering and shouting at my screen every time the position counter went down.
Holy sh*t! Now this is what mountain biking is all about! You never cease to amaze me when I watch your downhill and enduro races! I'm blown away and fell in love with the sport all over again.
That is unbelievably impressive! Up there in the top 10??? Obviously, you crushed everyone on the uphills, but your bike handling skills are top-notch as well. Congratulations!
After going back and watching all the British freerider's channels doing the Mega and coming and watching yours, I am absolutely amazed that you were able to come through and clean house like this. It was really fun watching that organge and teal Syd and Macky jersey blur past on those other videos. And with poise and sportsmanship we have all come to appreciate. Well done. One of the most epic POVs I've seen in a long time.
Wow, that was fun to watch! For viewers like me, who don't actually race mountain bikes, that raw footage from start to finish really gives a sense of the intensity throughout the race. Just watching it, I think my heart rate was matching Macky's a few times. Well, maybe not quite. I was ready for a rest at the end though. Thanks for the special treat!
This might have been the most incredible MTB video I have watched! Fantastic downhill skills and such grace on the mountain. Well done Macky! So cool to get a top 10 on that race.
What an amazing experience and accomplishment! Great job! Can't believe it took 36 minutes to have calf issues. 15 minutes in I was thinking "my calves would be getting toasted"
Sitting around, three weeks into a broken bone on the tip of my thumb, and a couple really tweaked joints, with a few more weeks off the bike... this is just what I needed. And didn't even have to wait until a Friday night posting! also, I've been going back and watching some early videos... just last week I watched the wet and rainy enduro session in New Zealand. Seems quite appropriate to jump ahead to this. I hope your travels home were much better than what you had many years ago.
That was a hell of a ride! Well done! This looks like so much more fun if you have the fitness like you have. Those climbs kill me every time whereas you seemed to breeze up there! 🔥 👏
Thanks for the full race run! I'm so jealous, I really want to do this race! Congrats on the top 10!!!! I like both camera angles but the chin cam makes me feel more like I am riding, so the chin cam gets my vote!!!!
I love watching Macky’s heart rate spike with zero watts and drop down to the 120s when he’s pulling 400+ watts! My hands started cramping just watching 🤙
Megavalanche is always great to watch and you smashed it in those conditions. When you crossed the finish, I saw a fellow countryman, and our national champ enduro, made it safe down the mountain.
Macky you are a friggin' BEAST!! What an excellent race....I was literally hanging off the edge of my seat the entire race!! Well done sir....well done!!
Damm that was amazing! I was glued for the whole race and kept wondering when the heck it would end! Loved the heart rate &watts display. Can’t believe how you had the presence of mind (not to mention ability) to clean the camera during the action! AWESOME 👍👍👍
That was an amazing, brutal film. It was incredible. You have a crazy amount of skill and cardiovascular capability. I would file those race conditions under as bad as possible and still racing. Wow!
Amazing job Macky - I was gripped from start to finish and I reckon my heart rate was higher than yours at some points! Absolutely brilliant - thanks for continuing the amazing and varied content! 💪🚴💯
Great you're in France !!! At start I thought he's far but he knows how to descend and he's a XC man, he'll smoke them, and that's what you did, impressive !!!
Omg. When you cleared the chest mount to show your bike covered in mud and grass. It looked like your trying to be all stealthy...... I laughed so hard. Your awesome. I like the chest mount best.
Seriously Macky, my heart rate while watching this was higher than yours racing it! What a monster! Your speed and control in and out of corners is incredible.
Wow what incredible footage, by the best i have seen so far especially with the stats overlay. Your skills are so incredible cause that course was super scatchy. You did well 👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
So technical! Excellent riders, I am use to these conditions, been snow biking for 35 + years. Too bad the race can’t be held in colder temps as the snow sucks if nighttime temperatures don’t fall below -3 degrees Celsius for at least three hours prior to riding. Extreme riding, but if it were easy anyone could do it!
Both angles of the camera were perfectly fine to me. The handlebars give it a more "real feel" like I'm actually riding, but it doesn't matter. Awesome job Macky and absolutely insane race. Your videos are the only way I'll ever be able to 'ride' a mountain bike so thank you for all you and Syd do in putting work into this channel.
I consider this as an immersive experience 😀 Great effort to get 8th under these challenging conditions! The mud there is horrendous when it is that wet...
What an incredible result, huge congrats Macky! That was an amazing watch, I could not stop watching!!. What is also incredible that after quite some time descending you see we're still above the clouds 🤯I think I actually strained my neck compensating for each turn 🙂
What an impressive run! You are a beast of a rider, for sure your XC background helped you a lot, because you smoked lots of riders on the climbs, you pulled some impressive watts. I’m coming back to ride from an long hiatus and 2 babies and your channel is a great inspiration to me! You got a new sub!
I am not a racer, I almost hate it, I did a fair amount of racing in my earlier days and ultimately decided to just have fun riding bikes, that said I never miss your videos and you are both amazing riders and unbelievable videoographers! Thank you !
Absolutely mega Macky!! Immersive experience for the viewers back home all right 😁 cheers for such a sick video & huge congrats! (We just rode in Bike Park Alpe D'Huez this week and recognised some of the red trails but man watching you shred them was insane!!)
I am so glad to see you hit this race! I don't know why, but this is one of those races that I have really grabbed onto. I would love to be able to run it myself, one day. But I'm an old man (not really, but I'm older than you, Macky) and I don't think it's in the cards for me to run it. So I now get to live vicariously through you (a man I've never even met). Good job with your placement! As far as I know, this is your first run on this one. That's great work!
I'm impressed, way to slaughter the mountain Macky. I was watching and cheering you on as I watched the video. For someone who was not from the region, not familiar with the course or the slippery and sticky European forest mud you rocked it. The top half of the course you simply killed it through the rocky section and it highlighted your bike handling skills. The when you entered the forest again your skills on the bike shined as did your fitness level. But, I can't believe you let the guy in yellow pass you, LoL! Amazing race, amazing finish and amazing video. Congrats!
Thats probably one of the best captures of tvis year's 2024. You were right in the guts of it for the first half and show's how competitive it is in the "peleton" 😅 Really impressive riding and fitness in wild conditions. 🎉
That was some incredible passing, congrats on the top 10 finish. I was binging other riders videos yesterday, I remember your jersey, had no idea it was you.
Yes, Macky has mad descending skills and great fitness which allowed him to reel in so many riders for a top ten - but his secret weapon is his grace, calm, and friendly nature with the other competitors. Chapeau Macky - you are a winner!
It was the bike
Yes especially with so many other riders nearby.
Yes well said , agree wholeheartedly, polite to everyone, including himself 😂.
Loved the motivational pep talks to himself too 😁👍
Absolutely! God bless!

@@RealMTBAddictyeah, I'm kidding. Haha
Never clicked on something so quick! So excited you got to race this!
Right? One race I didn’t expect to see on this channel.
@@timdye6602 and he killed it! It never ceases to amaze me what they both can do. I have to see it in context of things I know more about to realize how much work they've put in truly.
If you can do better in qualifying and get a better starting position you could definitely compete to win.
The fact you could ride in those conditions and maintain your breathing, watts, and heart rate is a mic drop alone! You are a beast Macky!!
Yeah, my HR was higher than his just watching this.
From K2N to Megavalanche is insane. Awesome job. I got a chuckle out of seeing you pass up some the pro euro mtbers I follow on UA-cam.
Have watched Megavalanche many times; but, this ride was certainly my favorite. Great job Macky!!! And thanks for cleaning the camera lens too.
Personally, I like the higher camera view. You can see more of what’s ahead. But as an arthritic 90 year old with COPD, I am just grateful to watch. Didn’t have this in my day.
HOLY SHIRTBALLS!!!!! That was intense. I feel like I need a nap just from watching this. WOW!!!! Congratulations MACKY!!!!!

Awesome riding and I love hearing your positive self talk during the race. Also super kudos for cleaning the camera as you rode. Very impressive.
I don’t know how this channel doesn’t have a million subscribers. You are awesome in every Way! Congrats!

7 th overall !! i didn't know you were so fast on enduro racing. Bravo.
That was straight up nuts, I cannot believe the speed you carried in the mud like that. Pretty sure my heart rate was keeping up just watching!

Woooooo!!! Great job and it was CRAZY to see the mph & watts, then look at the heart rate 🤯. Well done Macky 🏆
WOW - you had some serious trust in those tires! Pretty amazing that your BPM went down as you did the climb! Amazing job!
Macky you are a friggin' BEAST!! What an excellent race....I was literally hanging off the edge of my seat the entire race!! Well done sir....well done!!

Wow. Amazing. The conditions could not have been worse. Impressive Macky!

I was waiting for this one for so long!!!! Really good job, Macky!!! First Time to watch every 40 minutes on this race...worth it !!! :D
Hey Macky your a straight BEAST! that's some great riding
Mackey you inspire all of us!! Thanks
That was amazing, you were so smooth up top in the rough....can't imagine how hard the bottom was...looked greeeeassssyyyy....

Impressive performance Macky! Hard core racing!
This was fantastic! The chest cam POV is so good! I throughly enjoyed it. Tight work!

Right on! How'd it go for you?
OMG. You baited me big time and it flew right over my head! Well bienvenue en France. And OMG that was RAD!
Holy crap. This was pure beast mode. Loved it!
What an incredible result, huge congrats Macky! That was an amazing watch, I could not stop watching!!. What is also incredible that after quite some time descending you see we're still above the clouds 🤯I think I actually strained my neck compensating for each turn 🙂
Transmadera, K2N and Megavalance in quick succession. There can't be much left on the bucket list!
We need a Berm Peak crossover episode!
Stone King Rally? ;)
You are a fantastic racer - so smooth - just incredible
That's the most slippery track I've seen. Congrats for the finish.

That was some incredible passing, congrats on the top 10 finish. I was binging other riders videos yesterday, I remember your jersey, had no idea it was you.
