Hi Clint, been watching your vids for about 2 years now. After watching this ORAMM recap several times now, in particular, it's inspired me to do the 2019 ORAMM, so I registered yesterday! it's out of my comfort zone, but heck, that's what training is for!
Beside the stamina, it's great to see how well you ride on downhill sections, without skidding or taking unnecessary risks, the correct use of brakes and choice of the lines, it's very helpful!
That was awesome!!! So are you going to try and hit it up next year? I think my younger cousin would love this race!!! Might have to start training for this now!!! LIVE-LIFE-LOUD!!! Ohh Like the GoPro Digital footage too, great clip.
Great footage and narration as always 😊 Would it be better on an all mountain/enduro bike you'll save plenty of energy and time on those long decents ...???
The descents would definitely have been more fun. But the climbing was so much that it could have been quite a bit slower overall. But I still may try it one year.
Thank you, Clint, for recently reviewing the Birzman Clam disc tool. In the past my XTRs have been quite fiddly to centre after fitting new pads. I bought a Birzman tool today on the strength of your review, and it was simplicity itself. Just one attempt and that was it - no rubbing. Incidentally, while on the subject of brakes, what is your opinion on, or experience of, sintered versus resin pads? I prefer the latter - quieter and better modulation. Thanks again.
Great! Resin pads feel better but don't last as long. Metallic pads have more power and fade less. unless you ride in really wet and muddy conditions I think resin are going to be better because of the feel.
Hey Clint, I’m doing Oramm this year and I was just watching your video. Trying to determine if I need a dropper post for this race, specifically heartbreak ridge.. I have one but I don’t normally use it where I live here on the East Coast of North Carolina. Did you run one for this race?
Great footage Clint... Curious... So when I see your footage in Florida it looks fairly tame compared to this. After riding in Florida and training for the Alps, how does it feel to ride in much more rocky and technical trails? What makes you confident to be able to do it? And, where have you ridden recently to prepare as seemingly you didnt have time to prepare but you still looked very comfortable on this trail. How did you get there? Thanks in advance for your answers I got gashed also by a pinned pedal and will never ride again without shin guards and knee pads on any trail. No more scars for me. GReat job of riding!
How did the wheels hold up??? I would have been sore for days after doing long intense descents like that - wouldn't have been able to do the climbs :P
Actually thought about doing it. I think you probably be about 45 minutes to an hour slower but you have a lot more fun on the descents. Maybe next year I'll try!
Doing my first one this year. Excited to rip down heartbreak and get heckled.
I just saw. 5:13 minutes! Dang that's really good!
Absolutely beautiful. The forest, the trail, the landscape, view.. Just amazing man. :)

The new gopro7 already has that capability of gimbal. Great vid Clint. I am doing this race next year.
I rode this on a rigid SS in 2009. 7 hours 49 minutes. Great race. Nice footage.
Great video Clint. Congratulations on doing so well. That is a grueling race.
Thank you Clint . Awesome job .
Wow, you were rolling up those hills.
Looks great. I wish I had such a view, where I live.
( live in Denmark).
has a Stevns Jura es mtb with 120mm suspension.
keep up with the good work.

I am running 130 fork on BMC fourstroke and love it.
Great footage and narration as always 😊 Would it be better on an all mountain/enduro bike you'll save plenty of energy and time on those long decents ...???

Considering that t storm that hit, the hold up strength of the trails should be a testament to bike haters. One of my favorite vids
7 mile climb?!?! Holy shit, I bet that's hell
I liked 1:23.. When you describe a significant mud slide as a tree down.
Hi, Clint. What is a heckler (about 18:00), pls ? Also, You just fly on those descents, crazy ! Great, great job You are doing with this channel.
heckler: definition from Dictionary.com: www.dictionary.com/browse/heckler
Heh, I thought it was a word for some type of terrain, not an actual heckler.
It was a group of people hanging out on a very technical section waiting for a victim. Quite funny actually.
Great riding! Especially downhill on your Niner RKT. 71 degree head angle. Maybe just a bit better with 120 mm fork.
70 with the 120. I still wanted my trail bike
Nice job on Heartbreak!
Great video!
Well done!

Clint, you mentioned in the video that you have 50 SRAM Eagle X01 in the back; what size of chainring do you have? 32T? Thanks. Marek
Good video and event. What were you camera settings on the Hero 6?
1080p 24fps. Wide. Auto white balance.
Thanks for sharing

I did not but it would make for a more enjoyable descent.
Great video! So, how'd you finish?
I think about 28 out of almost a hundred in my class. Endurance racing isn't my strongest suit but still enjoy it

I'll be talking about that in an upcoming video. Should be posted beginning of next week
Thanks Clint, Donated to your fundraising effort for your friend's son. Hope that went well for you.
Really appreciate it!
How did the wheels hold up??? I would have been sore for days after doing long intense descents like that - wouldn't have been able to do the climbs :P
The wheels did great. I'll be doing the full review on them in the next few weeks.
Great video! How much climbing did your garmin measure for the whole race?
7,503... But it probably miss some when it did the auto pause on the tight switchbacks
How tough would that race be on a trail bike?
Actually thought about doing it. I think you probably be about 45 minutes to an hour slower but you have a lot more fun on the descents. Maybe next year I'll try!
You don't what to get your bike dirty and wet? Are you serious?
The compromise, Giant Anthem 27.5 XC trail 130 up front, 110 rear.
Or even the new trance 29!
Shimano rep on a single speed lol
Shimano brakes 😉
Wow... I remember that hurricane from 2018.
Boys still ripping up shirtless. Not for me but makes me chuckle.
I never saw that guy after the first few minutes. Hopefully he still had some skin on after the end of the race.
Shirtless and riding a 90s full rigid mtb. Not a winner, but a hero.
I should have said tropical storm not t storm
