I appreciate her presence, and more 'human like' skills that I can somehow relate to, although I donno I could keep with her, great effort, great spirit, great team!
Thank you for these videos. Not only is it awesome to be able to experience a tiny bit of these adventures, but each day has been a masterclass in storytelling, editing, filming, and of course riding. Congrats on some AMAZING performances, all 4 of you! PS. Lo's footage is GOLDEN. When is she starting her own channel?
right, Lo was such a champ on the technical descents!

"SEND! SEND! SEND!" Lo was super entertaining! This series has been easily one of your best ever, it just had everything: stories, action, views, laughs, great editing etc!
That was an AWESOME video series. Congrats on the wins - Syd by TWO HOURS. It's quite an accomplishment to do so well in the Andes, but to then be able to turn around a make such a compelling documentary series about it... you guys are the real deal. Keep up the good work.
On rewatch, I'm really impressed by that section at 19:30 and how smoothly Macky rode it. Truly impressive to stay on your bike at all in that kind of terrain! I'm sure I would be walking with my bike on my back after barely a couple meters.
It seemed pretty apparent that no one could touch him when it came to downhill and technical sections. He is an animal, well done! And the humble attitude on top of it Is impressive.
i said before, best videos, you or any mtb blogger has done. thank you. gives me inspiration to get he bike out again on my down s4 cancer days.. still fighting, still trying to be more awesome.
Just want to add my congratulations on both surviving the 5 days, winning the events and an amazing set of videos, I could not wait to watch them. Fantastic story telling, camera work and narration. I am sure after a long arduous day you would prefer to relax, but we really appreciate all the post-race content.
Absolutely loved watching Syd screaming down the descents like a bat out of Hell, her fire and spirit reminded of my late wife. A lovely trip down memory lane for me. Luv ya, Syd!!!
The Sydinator terminated the competition ! The Mac Daddy did his cyborg ride to the overall. Lo gave another perspective of the race and talks to herself just like I do. 😀👍. Great job everyone…including Joe!
Easily one of your best video series to date. I was looking forward to each of the instalments as they came out. Great having Jo and Lo along as well, but kudos to Syd a Mackie absolutely smashing it. Good skills guys…… Syd, 2 hours! 2 hours. Amazing
Macky - Nobody descends like you do! I can't believe you didn't catch up to the leaders on the downhill. But congrats on the overall win and the stage wins! Syd - "Don't go over the cliff" - words to live by....literally! Congrats on the overall win and running the table on the stage wins! Lo - You are an absolute SAVAGE! The talking to yourself near the end is RU-vid gold! But seriously, your descending was great! Congrats on your 2nd overall! Joe - Two words...Vitamin C
I see comments from fans on other channels about how they can't wait for the next video to drop and I've always kinda thought "dude, get a life. It will be there. and you can watch it whenever". Guess who couldn't wait for each of these videos from you guys. Amazing location, racing, filming, commentary, and editing. It's such a complete package. It's incredible that this feels like a documentary produced by a team of professionals about ANOTHER team of biking professionals. That those two teams are you, is mind blowing. And yeah. I can't wait until the next video.
Welcome home team EATING WINS RACES! Kudos to all for finishing this race - distances and climbs were brutal. Great job by the organizers. Hope Joe is well!
"Mama can descend single track"........😂😂😂 Absolutely, No Sxxt. All of You descend like maniacs .........beautiful & scary to watch at the same time. Great YT Channel Series & Racing .........Excellent Effort & Results by everyone. Will take some time to recover from this one🙂
An awesome week. Interesting that there are a few crazy people who love this sort of stuff. And then, there are normal people who couldn't imagine riding a bike. Off road? Around a volcano? In Chile? It's raining! Hats off to the crazy folk!
I'm really happy for you two guys, especially for Syd, seeing her in top form after all her struggling with injuries it's amazing. Congratulations for you both, I really enjoyed this series of videos. And Syd you have a very sweet spanish accent, a little bit of polishing and you are good to go. Congratulations once again.
Loved the humor that you all showed over the videos! Love the cameo's from your friends Lo & Joe as you dealt with the stress of long stage racing. Great content - and inspiring those of us trying to lay more miles down.
Cool beans crew. Syd & Mac, always great to watch you, but this was spectacular. And thanks to Lo and Joe for joining the show. Last, but first, those Maxxis tires took a beating for sure.
You all killed it! Great video and production work. I loved the whole series! What a fantastic accomplishment. We need to see more Lo... Cheers to you all!
I mean wow on a few things! Syd, what a comeback from injury, hugely impressive, quite an inspiration. Macky, the speed at which you descend blind is just inspiring. To hear you went with the 120 TPI tires over your usual 60 TPI and had zero punctures...I mean, after seeing the terrain and the speeds you both ride at, would you ever go back to 60 TPI? And to do this for 5 days and really nail it on the last day in that terrain on XC bikes with true XC tires...I'm speechless. Lo and Joe also very impressive...that is just a tough 5 days for all of you. Heck a tough 1 day for most of us!
Damn, you two killed it! So did you, Lo! Can't wait to see your performances in this upcoming season. Lo, you should definitely be the third wheel GoPro Betty- your commentary is hilarious!
Congratulations to all four of you on a great race. I wish Joe would have gotten to run the last day but when you're sick the best thing to do is heal. I loved Lo's commentary. I didn't believe anyone cussed as much as I do racing. Damned if I don't admire her for that. 😂 Syd and Macky are undefeated in 2023!! 🏁 I'm very proud of all four of you. Thank You. 👊👍
Syd for the win on the tire commentary.....she started her explanation within about 20 seconds of me thinking to myself "what tires have they been running?"
loved every second of the five-episode series. Congrat to all. Awesome to see views from the front as well as the mid pack. definitely continue to collaborate with Joe and Lo.
really enjoyed the 5 races. I watch the again at some point. I am always looking to improve my skills and i think these help... big well done to Lo. her descending skills were pretty awesome. big thank you to all
I love that at the same time in the video syd and lo was heavy breathing saying how hard it is Macky was like woooo bike park this is great 😂so impressed with everything in these last 5 days thank you both for sharing this was so much fun watching
As everyone else I was really impressed by this video series, from the beauty of the environments and the tracks, the huge effort you all put in the race, your stunning race results, and the fun and entertaining storytelling you are capable of, even during such a challenging week! I would really like to learn how you manage to create, while racing - and winning - such a hard race week, all the videos, cutting sequences, adding commentary, and keeping this really fun, and so enjoyable... It looks like an incredible additional effort and time needed... thanks also for that! You are every time more and more awesome ❤️
Syd and Macky Are you two even human? You are both Ridiculous beings of awesome ! I’m a #1 Lo fan and her first groupie - calling all the Lo fans to join The Lo Life! Groupie club Lo Lifes! Live on Start your channel !

I had lots of things to comment , but everyone else has already said in this section. So… just thank you very much. Thank you 🇧🇷
When training the right way, body and mind, the fruits are just a pedal stroke away. Huge congratulations for this epic win for the both of you. So deserved and so well earned !!! Next stop… Epic Israel maybe? 😉 🍷
Congratulations Syd, Macky. Lo and Joe. Well done yʻall. What an amazing stage race. Enjoyed every rainy, muddy, rocky, treacherous at time moments that you shared. Thank you for sharing your adventure. Mas Respect!!!
OK that race series was AWESOME! You guys killed it and that was so fun to watch. I have to admit Jo is gonna give Syd a run for her money on the self talk during the race she's quite entertaining. Jo needs her own channel if she doesn't already have one. Keep it up Syd and Macky you inspire me to ride more.
I enjoyed all 5 videos. The last one was really interesting with your additional guest. I laugh a lot while she was talking to herself😂 Keep the good work!
This was your best series yet, loved watching every episode of this race and Lo and Joe were a treat! Congrats on your first place and great job! Thank you for the inspiration! 👍
Absolutely brilliant riding, and congratulations on an absolutely stellar and well deserved victory😁👍‼You guys had me cheering out loud! If you keep this up, I'm going to have to add a heart rate monitor to my kit, strictly to be worn in the house! Cheers to Lo for smashing the course as well. Keep doing what you do 👋😁👍‼
Another great vid from Syd and Macky and congratulations to you both!! We NEEDED the Lo perspective to remind us all that Syd and Macky are pros not only at racing but at commentating.. But Lo cam made this vide because it reminded us that above average riders like Lo and Joe can be competitive in these events. I imagine the unedited Lo footage would have required an R rating for language on RU-vid 😂
Simply stunning! You guys are so humble, amazing cyclists and make me and I am sure 1000s of people inspired to get out there and hit the trails. Syd you have come such a long way from when you were injured and struggling. I am super impressed with your power and attitude to smashing what looks like a hugely challenging race. Kudos to you both. Keep smiling and doing what you do.
This was an amazing series to watch and Trans Andes looks insane! Loved the footage from Lo too added that bit extra and we can all relate to chatting to yourself to keep going when it's super tough
Great video series, great filming, great editing, great riding, great people! Seriously, this is better than 90% of what’s on streaming services these days. Lo was a great add to this race, it was like a conversation between multiple people! 😂
Lo's commentary was amazing. Love how she went from hating the hills to the self esteem boosting pep talk of the year while descending! Congrats to all of you for your amazing efforts. Loved watching this race series and seeing such different terrain which is totally alien compared to my temperate forest, mostly clay trails in Australia.
Danged impressive. Congratulations all around. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Knowing how long it takes to edit long form content, I'm also impressed you got these out relatively quickly!
Well done you guys rock that's a very impressive win Syd and Macky your friend lo takes the gold medal for footage today she is a hilarious and gold, love the work that race looked tough and keep up the amazing work really enjoyed this series it was amazing!!👍😊🎉
Congratulations to all of you! That win has to feel amazing !! Lo is a hoot. The flock of geese that follow her around are persistent 😂 Thanks for sharing with us
Congrats to you all on your incredible efforts! Good times all around, had a smile on my face the entire series!!! The closing of this last episode was the best, thank you!!!!!
Congratulations to all of you for the amazing races and finishes! What a 5 day stage race. The videos were next level! Thanks for taking us all along with you. Lo gave me such a good laugh on this stage 😂
Wow, what an adventure that has been!, I thoroughly enjoyed this whole series. Seeing you actually ride that volcanic rock field just blew my mind. Today on my road bike I had a few moments I was worried about some debris on the road surface, I now feel a bit embarrassed 🙂 Ah, besides that, Lo commenting her ride is just hilarious!
