      Yeah I’m much more casual, I try to keep up with uci but it’s just kind of chaotic to view. All the Red Bull events are a must watch though

    It's "riding yer bike"
    The first enduro I did was at Ae in 2010? and it was the 661 series

    Lol enduro is just for people not fit enough for XC and not man enough or fast enough for downhill. 5 DH races and pedaling uphill to all of them is so stupid.. jack of all trades is the same as master of none. Sorry this will hurt so many losers feelings but thats the truth

      Yeah man the XC rider and the Enduro rider are really similar only fitness separates them 🤣
      If you struggle to pedal up man just get an ebike, no need for the hate.

      Which one is your discipline? Or are you winning races in both categories?
      I'd love to follow your career and watch your races. You seem like a really serious and dedicated rider. Let us know how we can follow!

I won downhill regionals at angel fire by over 20 seconds and got 3rd at nationals at the monster pro downhill series in big bear California this summer.

      I think the top enduro racers are close to the top dh racers and probably better at riding switchbacks, awkward turns etc. The reason why I never watch enduro racing is that the bikes are quite a limiting factor. Watching dh racers float across rough sections is just way cooler than watching enduro riders getting bucked all over the place on similar tracks. Enduro should IMO be distinguished from dh not just by the format but also by the tracks. Current enduro tracks resemble dh tracks too much, only missing the jumps. In order to highlight enduro riders’ skills and to make it less of a ‘wannabe dh’ show the tracks should be lower speed, more technical - the kind of stuff enduro bikes are actually good for.
      XC is sprinting your guts out, then riding technical, low speed stuff back down. Enduro is managing to get up the hill, then ride steep, tech stuff back down. DH is mx without the engine.
