I definitely didn’t have the results that I wanted but still managed to take some lessons out of this race. This was my first DNF and I'm feeling pretty bummed but onward I go! Enjoy this footage and I'll see you guys next time!
I had to take a 10 minute break after the third lap or so to cool down. After getting doused with ice water for a while I managed to get two more laps in. I’m not sure how to prevent it. Happened to me last year at Dutch when it was 95*. Maybe I need to get in better shape or wear less safety gear to get better air flow. Let me know when you figure it out.
@@jacobschulz6729 thanks for the comment. My first year racing so I’m figuring stuff out every race. 🤙🏽
Yeah your footage has helped me figure out the start & plan a little but yeah trying to find time is hard for me don’t get much practice time in- until I’m at the track so been learning on the fly- yeah my video picks up the tail end of that crash- I think I was about 10 minutes behide you after the first lap- - I also see your bike did the same thing on that one drop I landed hard on the front fork both times through thy spot- yeah you rode good an smooth an fats in spots- oh yeah you can check out my band on Reverbnation.com/SubliminalOrgasmsDetroit Hit me up on Facebook I put 4 clips up of my first lap-
@@DetroitQBall11 thanks, will do!
Looked fun. I've struggled with hydration a few times as well hopefully your next race goes better for you. Looks like a large rock or a stump with a lil paint on it he hit but should probably be marked a lil better. Glad he is ok.😎👍🇺🇸
Thanks for watching.
The crash at 48:11, ouch. Dude hit the ground hard. Nice riding Luis!
Thanks Donnie! He reached out to me today and said he’s banged up but ok ✅
I was the guy to the left of you at the starting line. Thanks for posting. It’s nice to show my friends and family how much “fun” we’re having out there.
Thanks Derick! I normally have a great time but that HEAT got me!🔥🔥😬
You making it to this year? Looks like lots of rain. Make it all sorts of fun. I'm going
I won’t be at this one.
@@Captain250FXposted on my channel is my first 2 laps. From start to mid race fuel stop
You say it would help if you could feel your hands in the enduro cross section. I Tape slightly ripped open mustard packets to my hand bars, first sign of cramp or arm pump, down one.
Great tip! I’ll try that in tomorrow’s race!
@@Captain250FX oh and put it behind your hand guard, other wise your first bite will be all dirt.
Salt, magnesium, potassium, balance. No need for mustard.
In my opinion there are some C class riders that are such sandbaggers. Not you just to be clear lol but some other guys
Yeah this was my 3rd race & I can see your point - but I dig the challenge or just to watch a rider & pick something’s up that we aren’t doing is pretty kool- but that big wreck at the start tells me their is some hot head alpha types or just lack or respect maybe towards others- I think this is a good community that’s why I’m going to keep trying these events out- it’s up to all of us to police it to certain degree- but sandbagged can turn us all into better riders
Love watching your videos man! Keep up the good work
Thanks Liam, I’m definitely still a work in progress.
@@Captain250FX You’re doing great! Do you have numbers on your bike? I tried finding you at Polka Dots to say hi haha
@@liamwashburn4367 thanks Liam! Yes my numbers are 616. I won’t be at the Ohio race, I’m going to do the Loose Moose the week after. I plan on the last two races though, come say hi if you see me.
I’d you don’t have a camelback get one and fill half pedialite and half water. A few swigs during the race will bring your energy level right back. I’ve been away about 5 years, going to try and race the last couple this year. Nice bud!
Thanks! Hopefully you come back!
Where r u from
Michigan
Even though you DNF , you were jamming the first lap or so. It was hot and humid that day , so don’t be too hard on your self. Some can take , and it get to others, you did your best that day 👍🏻
Thanks, I really appreciate that! Time to get in the gym!
I like the videos you've posted. That sure was a hot day for a race. You and I were battling a bit, I came into the video at 17:04.
Sweet! That was some brutal heat.
Thanks for the great shout out to Pdxcracing!
Great video like always
Thanks Jesse! 🤙🏽
Nice video Riding is all about the cardeo you can sure feel it if you have not been working out. Good job. Be safe
Thanks Jesse! I will be working on my cardio from now on for sure.
Hey, not sure if I told you, but in the last month, I've had three total hip replacements as a 35M.
Dang that sucks. Speedy recovery!
@@Captain250FX I mean, yeah, it does suck, not only because I haven't been allowed to travel to Marquette to see my daughters 4/2yrs old. As far as the hips go... I feel 16yrs old again. Tomorrow I find out if I am allowed to travel or not. Prayers please.
@@clintonlied 🙏🏽 sent!
@@Captain250FX I got the okay from the surgeon yesterday to travel. I haven't been traveling because I guess that blood clots can happen after surgery.
Prep with food also at least 3 days before race.I eat a lot of pasta 2 days before a race.Day before race I eat big on steak and burgers.I drink tons of water treated with electrolytes for about 4 days before race.The electrolytes are great to stop cramping.It takes about 30 hours to actually process electrolytes so you need to build them up for days.Drinking them during a race only helps a little bit I only do water on race day.I tried electrolytes in my camel back and it makes me have to piss.Getting heat stroke is no joke and can come out of nowhere even if your in good shape.I had it when I was 16 and really have to watch it as once you get it can hit you easier.I started to get it at loose moose enduro in 2017 because I was out of shape.I ended up with 3 cracked ribs because I just couldn't handle the bike anymore.
Thanks for the tips! I will definitely take your advice!
Yep kind how I eat for mountain bike racing but damn I get way over heated
@@Captain250FX I am prepping for one early this week.At 59 takes extra prep lol.You should try to come up north and ride the loose moose enduro.It will be the last one for various reasons.
@@jeffbrownell279 when is that? I was up there in June and loved that terrain! I’m assuming the Marquette area?
@@Captain250FX September 18.It is a district 16 race but half the guys are from district 14.It is a national so quite a few people from all over country will show up.Wofe and me will be working checks for family Enduro Saturday then I will race Sunday.
I remember my first hare scramble. Long before electric start. My bike was dialed so as long as you gave it a good kick she fired right up. Not this time. 50 riders and I was 48 in the first corner.
Cool track. Good luck on the next race. Hopefully the heat will be less of a factor.
Thanks bud! What class you in?
@@Captain250FX I was a slower B class now I'm just old...LOL 😄
Nice!
Looks fun, but exhausting
In 90 degree heat it was brutal.
Nice video u get them next time looks fun 😉
Thanks
I was right beside you guys
Nice
What class you race?
C last year, I’ll be in B this year.
@@Captain250FX did they bump you up or you moving up yourself?
@@Captain250FX I haven't raced in 5 years and never a full season because of work so I'm racing open C this year
@@kurk23 sweet, come say hi if you see me!
@@kurk23 moving myself up.
Fun to watch as always
Thanks
First. Because I'm a g. Lol
😂🔥😂🔥😂🔥 Hopefully I see you next time?! You planning on Ohio?
