- After an unfortunate string of injuries the past two years, Brian Cahal, the creator, producer, and racer behind 'Let's Go Racing' has decided it's time the series comes to a close.
While not the end that Brian or Vital had planned for, there are a lot of positives to take away after three years of pursuing enduro racing at a professional level.
Enjoy the final episode of the series as Brian reflects on what he learned, and a huge thank you to Brian for all the hard work providing us with entertaining and insightful videos over the past three years!

Thanks for the support! ❤
I'd love to see you reviewing bikes and parts. Your reviews of stuff were great and the reason why I watched these episodes.
This has been my favorite mtb content on TH-cam. Thank you for sharing the last 3 years with us. Stay healthy and have fun out there.
Thanks for all the Epic content! ❤! Health is always more important and I hope you recover well and stay positive and stay involved in Mountain Biking in other ways! Stay safe and keep rolling! 🙏
I’m not sure you greatly look forward to what you do next Brian, but I promise there will be something greater to come. I took some years off due to repetitive injuries, concussions mostly and now am back into riding with my young kids and loving it in a way I never thought possible.
I've watched almost all these episodes and want to say thank you and good luck with whatever comes next. Probably is not easy making these choices, but it is what it is sometimes. Happy trails
well said and agreed
Never apologise for prioritising your health and wellness.
Rest up and recover, do what you need to and see what you want to do in future. Your videos have been great to watch.
All I can say - I thank you very, very much. That was something great and I was waiting for every new episode. All the best for you!
I'll echo what others have said: The content/series has been awesome. Some of the best/most insightful work out there and always considered it a must watch. Still watch the Windrock ride edit regularly to up the stoke. Will continue to root for ya! All the best!
Look after yourself mate. Racing can be taxing both mentally and physically. Sometimes we need to take a step back until we can enjoy it again.
And cheers for the vids over the years. Your honesty and unbiased product testing was definitely some of the best MTB content on TH-cam.
Thank for all of great content and I learned a lot. You did what you were supposed to, you left it all on the table and that's what it's all about. You did your thing. 💯👍
Thanks for everything man - taught me a lot about bike set up, good luck recovering
Thanks Brian for bringing us with you. Wish you all the best, cheers from Italy!!
Take care of yourself man. This sport gives a lot, but it takes a lot too. I've learned a ton from your videos, especially relating cockpit height with chainstay length. I really appreciate how transparent you've been talking about your concussion recovery. I had a bad one this spring, and your advice about diet changes helping you was really helpful for me.
Lgr has been awesome. So bummed to see it end like this but you’re doing the right thing by taking that step back. Sounds like youve burned yourself out and need to rekindle the love back for bikes. I did the same thing riding motocross for years getting injured and trying to race. Found mtb a few years ago now and have never loved anything more. Whether it’s kayaking or mtbs i wish all the best! Thank you for sharing all your valuable knowledge which has helped me tremendously. Take care!
I'm sorry to see you go Brother but, it's Awesome to know that you realize what can possibly happen if you continue. I wish you well in your Recovery Process, and GOD BLESS YOU and your FAMILY BROTHER.........🙏🏾🤝🏾🇺🇸💪🏾👍🏾
Much love and hope you fully recover. I encourage you to do some research into current clinical trials examining the potential of psilocybin to treat TBI and neural inflammation. Look up Daniel Carcillo's story. Best of luck man.
Thanks for the content and sorry to hear about another concussion. The in depth look at bikes and components was crazy good. Heal up!
thanks for all the efforts and the honesty, its been a joy and a thrill to watch the process from the outside, wish it had been the same for you! Life is also a process and can be a bruising affair at times but i hope when you reflect and see what you have just done, not necessarily achieved, because that is not really relevant in the great scheme of things, you should feel proud and justified for just sending it! Take care and enjoy the ride
I’ve really enjoyed the series!! Thank you for all the hard work👍. I hope you can find your happy place on a bike again.
Brian,what you did most people just dream on. Health always comes first.
Your videos and trail peek videos were my absolute favorite to watch.
All the best!!
Dude, so sorry to hear this. Your content has always been something I've actually watched rather than skimmed through. I never got the snake oil salesman approach of selling yourself for attention from your videos. You'll land on your feet, guys like you always do and I'll be checking in to see where that is! Learning to enjoy the seasons of life when they aren't something we want is a skill, wishing the best for you.
one of the best yt series, especially the preseason testing
I really resonated with a lot of this. Thanks for sharing! I'm glad you're doing the right thing. Heal up and do what you love. Also, thanks Vital!
Great job overall. Nothing to look back on and regret. You did the best you could while you were capable. High level anything is not easy. Even Ping Pong. so dont beat yourself up, doing hard things requires massive effort. You helped a lot of people along the way, and that is the takeaway. Great Job and best of luck in the next chapter.
Thank you Brian, easily my favourite mtb journalistic content. Time to reset and come back stronger 💪🏼
You brought a bunch of high quality content and sick riding footage from your tests! While the racing results may not have been met for yourself you accomplished so much with the back to back comparisons and insight to a racers life🙌🏽🙌🏽
Really enjoyed the series and the reviews. Hopefully you can find some way to keep the content rolling even if it isn't race related. Hope you heal up.
This wasn’t easy to decide and say out loud and so openly, so 👍👍 for courage!
Bummed to hear about the bad luck man, this series has been super inspiring and insightful, definitely something I'll rewatch a ton. Best of luck with your recovery and your future projects!
thanks for the content, your dreadnought video is one of the best and most accurate reviews of a forbidden bike ive seen, hope you get better soon and best of luck with wherever life takes you🤙
Sorry the see the series end as you have a lot of relatable information but totally have respect for your decision to hang it up due not health reasons
These videos have been great. Best of luck
Head injuries are no joke, heal up dude! Such a good series, was fun working with you a few years back
mountain biking is super dangerous man and when you turn your passion into a "job" of sorts, it certainly removes that passion. I felt it with my coaching business. Now I have quit the coaching for now just to focus on riding for myself. Bringing back the enjoyment man. Have a good rest and hopefully you can begin to enjoy riding for fun again in the future.
Thanks for putting this together, loved the series and insight you have! Super bummed about the injuries, hope you feel well and get back to 100%!
Thanks for all the mtb content
Totally get it. Hopefully you'll heal up quickly. Personally, I have learned a lot from this series, and for that , thank you. Best wishes going forward Brian.
Truly one of the best series I’ve seen, your work is really good. Cool to see norcal riders doing sick stuff.
Hi Brian, Thank you for your hard work! We have been always waiting for your episodes - unique and full of knowledge! Good decision and stay hard!
Always loved youre content
Which you a good recovery and success in future projects
Thanks for the content! Kayaking is the best, throw in trail riding and climbing and you'll be plenty busy
Thank you for sharing your journey. I have enjoyed all of it. Best wishes to you and your other adventures of life!
Maybe you keep doing the interwiews about tech and bikes, since you have the insight. I've really enjoyed the one with trinity
I thoroughly enjoyed these videos. Let's see what the future holds.
Great series man always a tough call to make but head injuries are fucked. Big respect for making the right choice.
I appreciate the videos. Good luck with your recovery and enjoy life.
Respect! Take it easy, take care of yourself and thank you for the content.
Thank you for all the effort you’ve put into this series and bravo to your decision to put your health first!
Kayaking is a good sport for concussion recovery. Canoeing worked for me, along wth yoga and meditation. Take as much time to recover as you need.
Super interesting series, thanks Brian👍
Smart choice. Thanks for the good content!
sounds like we are made out of the same mold...everything I do it's either 120% in of nothing at all. I'm super bummed about your head injuries but glad you are taking them seriously. Last think you want is long term effects from it. Get well soon and best of luck in your future endeavors
Health is more important than anything else, sounds like a good decision. I've loved the series! I've also been getting into kayaking recently (though in addition to not-as-serious MTBing still)! Where's the kayaking footage from in the video, looked like a sweet run?
Respect man. 🙌
Thank you for the video series. I enjoyed them a lot 👍
Loved this video series from the start, hope good things open up for you in the future
I loved the product comparison videos. Hopefully you can figure out a way to have fun on bikes again
Good college try. I appreciate your content!
I’ve really enjoyed all your series and I was loving this one. Racing is a cruel sport sometimes and it doesn’t matter how good you are, sometimes shit happens.
Agree that fighting burn out while racing is not a good mix! I always just assumed Vital was helping with production, guess that was dumb on my part.
Mend up, get strong man and thanks again for the show!
Heal up!
Have you dealt with light sensitivity from your concussions? I was in a bad car accident a month ago where I broke lots of ribs and have a concussion. I thought I was OK after crash, but a week later my vision was all messed up from airbag smashing my face and it has been a month with no improvement. I'm wearing sunglasses all the time even indoors now. Worried that it might be perminent. Crazy how you have to go back to work 3 days after such a bad accident. I just want to hide in a dark room all day. Saw eye doctor and he just told me to come back in 3 months.
Wishing you all the best and thanks for the great content. I can kind of relate to you, I wrote my thesis for a bike manufacturer and at that time stopped riding completely, as it wasn't fun anymore.
Btw, any words on the Nicolai you crashed at?
We’d like to see Connor take over the series 😊
I got a very bad tbi at work. I feel for you.
thank you @Brian health comes 1st! enjoy!!
Looks like the notorious assegai front wheel grip to slip.
Dude I'm 47 and some of the reasoning your giving is what I've dealt with not riding a bike.. I think because bikes and racing is actually life threatening behaviour.. no matter what age or experience you have we begin to define our own lives with the decisions we make. When you get hurt they tend to be more definitive moments in our lives like loosing your first love.. or going bankrupt.
When you think about it Kayaking is another life threatening sport one mistake and you might Drown..!!! What im trying to say is that when you get older you begin to minimise the risks and if that means slowing down then take a good look around..like a cinematographer.
shit thats tough
Respect man. 🙌
