    I can approve Scotty's comment at 9:35 about how slippery the trails are when wet. The locals even has a name for it - "Madeiran Ice". I learned this while I was riding in Madeira early February this year. The first day of riding I think I crashed like 5 times, where one of the crashes I hurt my right leg pretty bad. Was riding with a pair of Maxxis Assegai 2.5" with 20 psi in each, and it was like zero grip most of the time.
    Great riding as usual, Scotty! Really fun to watch you blaze through the Madeiran landscape. 🤙

      Oh man, can sympathise! The two other boys I was there with went down hard on it. It’s pretty wild grip. Glad you’re all good - I don’t know if tire pressure made much of a difference for me! 😂
      Stoked to hear you enjoyed the video. 4 more to go! 🙌 Best days still yet to come.

    Awesome video, you did a great job of capturing the day. That was me you fell in front of you on the Day 0 group ride 😂

    Looking forward to the rest of the series. I completed May 23 edition, in two minds as to whether doing the arrival day ride was worth the fatigue before the 5 main days or not! 😂 it was much bigger ride than I expected, if you are a punter aiming at completion be aware!! We had two really wet days too, loved it and my best stage results of the week 😅

    • @ScottyLaughland
      @ScottyLaughland  10 місяців тому

      Thanks for following in! What a trip tho… We did a shake down shuttle day and then also the arrival day ride - that was a lot! 😂 Enjoyed the wet but loved the dry!!

    Great job and good riding! 🔥 The camera angles give no justice to how step and tech those sections are❗️ which trail was your favourite for day one? Been very keen on trying this race for some time now👌👀

    • @ScottyLaughland
      @ScottyLaughland  10 місяців тому +1

      They deffo don’t but can confirm they’re awesome! Tied between 1, 2 and 7!! Get it done, you won’t regret… I’m already looking for the next Trans event to do!

    Please post the places where it took place. Such a gnarly place to ride! Loved the videos and seeing my hometown.

    • @ScottyLaughland
      @ScottyLaughland  10 місяців тому +1

      I don’t necessarily know the names of the places! Would recommend a day of riding with Freeride Madeira if you wanna hit the best spots on the island!

    Stage 2 and 7 seemed insanely steep.
    Looks like a lot of fun tho.

    • @ScottyLaughland
      @ScottyLaughland  10 місяців тому +1

      Both had sections of steepness but the rocks were more the challenge! 1, 2 and 7 were maybe my favourite that day… Can confirm they were a lot of fun!

    What camera are you using? One of the few vids I've seen where the steep stuff looks really steep. Thanks!

      This was primarily shot on a GoPro Hero 12 with a Max lens mod.

    What tires did you have?

    • @ScottyLaughland
      @ScottyLaughland  10 місяців тому

      Magic Mary front and Big Betty rear both are soft compound and super gravity casing! If I did it again I’d maybe go for a ultra soft MM up front…
