EPISODE 23:
SYD AND MACKY

Syd and Macky are professional mountain bikers, YouTubers, and partners in both racing and life. Since 2013, they’ve chased the most challenging mountain bike races around the world—first from a tiny orange car, then through years of van life, and now from their home base in Los Alamos, New Mexico.

What began as a focus on enduro racing has expanded into a full spectrum of events, including cross-country, stage races, and endurance competitions like the El Paso Puzzler, Whiskey Off-Road, and Appenninica MTB. Their popular YouTube channel chronicles not just the thrill of racing, but the grit, training, and behind-the-scenes reality of living life on two wheels.

In this episode, we talk about their journey from nomads to New Mexico locals, how they’ve evolved as athletes and creators, and what it means to build community while constantly pushing the limits—physically, mentally, and geographically.
