Santa Vall Gravel stage 1 Hill Climb; Gravel Earth Series event one
zhlédnutí 24KPřed 5 měsíci
Full race, with commentary and power, speed, heart rate, and grade data. This was the first race of my season, stage 1 of the three stage Santa Vall Gravel in Girona, Spain, which was the first round of the Gravel Earth Series. This race had a unique format. They called it a "prologue", but ran it as a mass start, which made for one of the more unique race experiences I can remember. 2 minutes ...
The Final of Mid South Gravel 2024
zhlédnutí 62KPřed 5 měsíci
The last 18 miles of Mid South Gravel 2024... well, mostly. I punctured out of the lead group with 7 miles remaining, but enjoy all the fireworks of the lead group exploding from ~16 down to the final 6 riders. I'm calling these a visual podcast for now, narrating as the attacks, battles for position, and singletrack ripping unfolded in real time, while adding some background about the other ri...

In 2022, Heidi Franz was approached with an enticing offer: B&B Hotels-KTM, a revamped team with a sky-high budget and some of the biggest WorldTour riders in its lineup, wanted her on its roster. But after months of unfulfilled promises and extensive press coverage, the team collapsed, leaving Heidi and dozens of other riders without a team right before the 2023 season. When a new team called ...

Climbing a DH track with 330 miles in the legs! Crossing Tasmania raw footage
zhlédnutí 2,3KPřed 9 měsíci
At mile of 330 of the 360 mile Crossing Tasmania ride, the route climbed the infamous Old Blue Tier, once a downhill MTB track. One of the film crew's local drivers, Gareth, insisted on capturing some of this infamous climb knowing it would be one of the biggest challenges of the day. Accessing this part of the route was a huge extra effort for Gareth, who like Payson McElveen was also going on...

Pesyon, You need to sell this to the stationary bike folks for posting on their devices. I’m using it in that manner today on the phone! Good work man!
pity mohoric had the mechanicals. great rider. Glad to see GVG . And super ride Payson.
Great Job well done top video
like the video very much telling the action on the fly is very enjoyable to this road biker that is not into gravel biking keep up the good work ...
Hey Payson, unreal video mate. where can I download the route to ride myself?
Amazing ride, great film making and storytelling! Inspiring, thanks for sharing!
Awesome. Tried it last week and died on the steepest part. 😢
Dude, these are awesome. keep it up!
You are a legend brother! Do you think you will document the Leadville 100 or the stage race?
Bentonville really puts the big names on a pedestal...
Love these. So informative.
Payson, keep doing them. The style is good, and your commewntary adds a lot. Good job!
Awesome insight and entertaining even though I don't have any interest in this kind of racing--yet.
Great job on the video and race coverage!
Nice another world’s first
Fantastic race recap Payson. You do a great job of narration and I also enjoy the fact that you’re complementary about other riders. Keep these videos coming.
One thing Lifetime doesn’t do well is covering the games and tactics that go on in the lead group(s). These recaps are some of the best out there and are greatly appreciated. Keep em coming, can’t wait for more.
Fantastic inside view, the intensity is incredible… all these riders are skinny aero roadies, long gone is the « spirit of gravel » this is proper hardcore racing!
Brilliant, more of these would be great!
Great content - thanks
Complains about people not pulling through then doesn’t pull through? That’s wild.
Stoked to see this come together again - we want more!
Awesome.
Awesome footage Payson! Love it make! So good seeing the variety of gravel, good, bad and the ugly up close and personal! So good mate!
Thanks for the video and commentary. It feels like I'm there. I haven't thought about a race like this but it gets me thinking and questioning "What will it take to push myself to my very best?". I enjoy your podcast too. I listen to it on my way to/from work. I'm getting lost in the bike verbiage here. For example, what's "roll through" or "shut down an attack"? If there's a youtube vid or website (I've searched but not much luck) that goes over these strategies in detail, let me know. I just started getting into biking (bikepacking and mtn biking) but this gravel racing is really interesting. I just need to learn the termonology to make it that much more fun.
Like these. More please. Even the boring stuff.
Awesome report, thanks for the calm, detailed narration. Great to have a front row seat near the tip of the spear!
So nice you're respectful to all these racers around you 🙏
Cool video thanks for sharing.
I love these!
"Unside Inbound" - my dyslexia
Keep these videos coming. It’s great to see what’s happening at the front, and your commentary explaining why.
I love these!! Keep em comin PM!! 🤙
Really appreciated!
I love these. Hope you keep making them just as they are, if not longer….
Thanks Payson, love this view of how the race unfolded!
I’m really liking my Maxxis Receptors.
Fantastic content. It's awesome to get your inside takes
I love these race recaps! I’m curious what you did to run mtb tires in your Allied. Did you run 27.5 wheels in an Able?
Nice video Payson! And again, congrats for your awesome race! That said, here are my thoughts on the team tactics invasion: Yes, team tactics might win the race moving forward. BUT it does not mean will earn the respect of the gravel community. Seeing people stretching the back, looking at the birds when it came time to go to the front and pull does not sit well with most of us. And honestly the lost of the respect from the gravel community might lead to lost of intention to buy from these riders' sponsors. Just saying :)
Love these vids and your commentary. Thanks so much Payson!
points out people not pulling…. proceeds to not pull 😅 great content though
Love these Payson. Gives really cool insight into both the key riders and the race dynamics. Keep em coming.
Love this content
bike setup?
Wow… cool upload, that was interesting, I didn’t know it was this crazy. Extremely impressive result, the bar seems to get higher ever year. I still reckon that’s one of the best 20 I’ve seen. Pure Class, well done, I’d fight for 6th over 9th, what a privilege and first world problem. LOL.
This really illustrates how effing fast this race is. Dang!
One of the best unbound videos I’ve watched. Thx for the great commentary
its great to see the 'inside view' of the pros racing, not boring, most riders will never experience it so your videos are most interesting and entertaining.
Payson, did you run a suspension fork? And do you think it would have been beneficial to do so?
I didn't, but a good handful of the front guys did and seemed to like it a lot
