I will definitely use these tips as I would like to start doing some enduro races. I really like CLIF bloks because there are many flavors to try and there are quite a few in each pack. Life hack: lick the bottom of one and stick it to your stem to eat later
Most amazing MTB experience I have ever had was an Enduro with two friends at Karkloof (Pietermaritzburg, South Africa)... We ended up starting late due to technical issues with one of the guys bikes, endured a gruelling 25km climb to stage 1 and had fun all the way up and all the way down! Came in stone last as the sun dipped below the horizon. ...next day.. Cascades. Broke my chainring on the up climb. Broke my ego on the down run.
Improving my fat metabolism was a game-changer for me, it allows for more high octane carbs left for the stage. Burn fat mostly on the way up, burn carbs mostly on the stage.
All great tips. I would also add, HAVE FUN. We all like to be competitive, but the likelyhood of you making top 3 let alone top 20 in your first couple of years or so of Enduro or any racing is slim to none. Always competing against solid veterans. So just take your time to learn, take it all in. Make it fun, pace yourself. Progress, and before you know it you will be climbing those leader boards eventually. For me when I did DH races a long time ago, late 90s it started out because my love of it. The traveling around eastern and central Canada ( local bike shop sponsored). Learning the craft. Making friends and contacts. Eventually, progressed where I was a threat to crack the top 5 regularly my last two seasons. Unfortunately a crazy wipe out my last season, ended my compition days, but I never stopped riding my bike. Did some crosscountry and mild enduros in the last 10 years as well as multi day events. Just to spice things up. But I always keep it fun. Now more then ever since my 10 year old is heavily getting into riding.
Yes! Having fun is one of the most important parts! I definitely had low expectations for placing, but this coming season I'll be paying a little closer attention haha.
Awesome! I am going to use a lot of these tips. I live in Asheville, NC and the race I am doing is in central Alabama and part of a smaller regional series. Thanks again!
Thank you for putting this together, I'll be racing my first MTB Enduro next week at Brian Head. The 4000ft daily of climbing (word on the street) has me a bit concerned, we'll see if I've trained enough. I greatly appreciate you being honest about the challenge of the Transfers, few people are.
Enduro racing sure is tough. During I'm always asking myself "why are you doing this??“, but when you push through and reach the finish line, it's just such a rewarding feeling and the pain is forgotten pretty quickly ;) I usually bring gels and Clif bars to eat. I eat something after every stage, even if I don't feel hungry. I also bring some magnesium to help with cramps. I've seen some people start without ANY food or very little water, even on hot days, and relying only on feed zones, only to get there and find out that they might have nothing left. Bad idea! Another tip for the stages, don't overdo it. I tend to push too much. A crash will make you lose more time than a paced, consistent run. And, I would definitely bring a spare tube, you never know. I strap it to my frame, good to go. I also always have a chain link fixed to one of the hoses with some tape, that way you'll never forget it. Let's hope we'll see some racing at least later in the season...
Man, the footage of the Hubaplooza race brought back the whole.."Hey where is the stage timer..guess I can take a nap" fiasco. Was my first full year of racing too, great tips here!
Awesome tips! I was planning on doing some ESC enduros this year for the first time, but who knows now with everything that is going on... Hopefully I'll still be able to do a couple. How necessary is it to have a hydration pack? Do most enduros have refuel stations to fill your water bottle between stages?
Personally, I'd say it's a necessity. Most enduros have raced have had aid stations. Staying hydrated and eating enough is the difference between a good day at the races, and a strugglefest.
I did the Sugarbush ESC race, and it only had one 700ft transfer climb, the rest was lift assist. But after the first stage you could sneak down to the parking lots for a few minutes of downtime, for some snacks or repairs, whatever. I did just that a couple times to refuel. Not all enduros are like that however, not all downhill stages end up where you parked. So that side of things was nice. On the other hand, Sugarbush is SUPER rugged, steep AF with blown out rocks and roots and very little loam & bike parky type of stuff. Not beginner friendly and I struggled a lot in practice. I crashed a lot but finally nailed the tough sections , and actually raced ok. I just wasn’t particularly fast 🙂. It’s ok though, I was there to race for fun and to finish, which I recommend doing for your first couple races until you get used to mountain courses.
Thanks 👍🏻 entered my first enduro in September, was great fun. I found despite having good fitness and the ability to do long rides the stop start nature of enduro totally killed the tops of my legs, going cold not good especially when you’re 45 🤦🏼♂️😬
My personal favorite tip: lick the bottom of your energy gels and then stick them to your top tube. Allows you to snack on the climb without fiddling with your snacks in your pocket/bag.
Frozen smuckers uncrustables. Pbj thaw out through the stages amd are pretty welcomed tasty treat when tired. And I freeze a mixed electrolyte drink in a water bottle to let thaw out in a hot day.
Jesus christ I thought he's laid down a bubbler/bong for the video intro. Quite a good info video from a small channel. Looking forward to 10 more tips n tricks for enduro a year from now.
I race extreme endurance (24h+ 100km+ ) and have been riding for 12 years. I find Christmas cake amazing fuel. Especially with icing. It provides fast and slow burn fuel that will fuel you for a good while. I go through around 5 Christmas cakes a year aha definitely give it a shot. Also active root, it's a natural ginger based sports drink from Scotland, best drink I've ever tried. MUST HAVE! Bananas are great fuel too, generally I would try to avoid gels as they are super acidic, try Christmas cake instead :) also hummus and pitta is super tasty and kep your stomach just full enough. And peanut butter and jam sandwiches is a personal favourite. Hope that helps :D
@@TheShredist Pretty much? The fruit in Christmas cake is half the reason it's such good energy. It's not really "cakey". I'm not super sure what it is called specifically but it's not standard birthday cake. If you google "Christmas cake" you will find it. It's sorta like Christmas putting but cake. Homemade is best. Just discovered the channel and loving it. Nice work 👊
I really liked this video! So informative and inspiring...it almost got me motivated to ride an enduro race. If I had the right spouse/ boyfriend to encourage me (widowed)...then maybe, I would be down. And at pushing 53...I still have time nutrition and riding definitely is more challenging with the hellish cold and windLol👍😎
Me and my boys have our first enduro coming up and something that confuses me is head protection. I always thought full face were mandatory, but in these clips I see tons of riders with normal MTB helmets. What do you ride with and what do you recommend for local enduros?
I depends on the individual event rules, but I personally always wear a full face when racing. I've used my chin bar too many times in the past to go without.
Are you thinking of doing a video on racing in the time of corona? It might be more than helpful: a well thought-out argument could affect policy. You know, what is, what isn't, what could be possible with a little tweaking. Not to put it on you, I'd just get a kick out of a neighbor influencing how events reopen. Think of all the times lately you've read or watched something and said," that's stupid, all you'd have to do is..." You sure seem to have the chops. Maybe even the support. Thanks for making joining a race seem less intimidating, either way. Petcho dog!
I stopped 3 mins to make this suggestion - Research endurance athletes on Keto - there are plenty to read about. Zach Bitter for example - holds ultra running world records on a Keto based diet. Training your body to burn fat instead of carbs for energy makes a HUGE difference in how you feel on long ride days. Zach has done a few podcasts with Joe Rogan you can check out as well. Just know there will be a transition period where you WILL feel like you have less energy - research it and maybe give it a shot for at least 3-6 months to really know how you feel about it. The need for excess "snacks" disappears on a low carb diet - you'll find you simply dont need it. I went from goos and waffles and post ride shakes to nothing in 3 months on Keto. My rides were places like Dupont in NC for up to 3-4 hours - no snacks and no crashing post ride like I used to. The energy just seemed to never go away. It was steady but subtle. It was weird but a very positive experience compared to the typical carb snacks that have a tendency to upset stomachs etc.
Great stuff brother. 1 extra I would add would be to show up the day early to pre-ride the stages. Sometimes this is tough if travelling, but way worth the extra night or time.
Great tips. I'd really like to do a race this year, but unfortunately southern Idaho apparently doesnt give a shit about having an Enduro series 😐. I may do the NW cup downhill race at tamarack on my new 🤘 Commencal Clash 🤘. Maybe I'll need to find a used downhill fork to slap on it? Who knows, either way I'm doing my first race this year!
Awesome! I was thinking about hitting that race as well! I hear Tamarack is pretty awesome! How do you like the Clash? I was looking at that bike super hard before I got the YT.
I'm loving my Clash. I just finished building it in December so I only have a handful of rides in on it, but haven't been able to hit anything big on it yet. Really looking forward to having a bigger bike for riding at parks. I also have a Jeffsy 29er for the last 2 year that has been my trail / park bike so it'll be nice to not have to beat the crap out of it come next riding season. If you can ride an XL bike and are at Tamarack for that race you can take it for a lap.
@9:04 did someone say gushing blood? imgur.com/9ENVmEy thats from last weekend when I slipped a pedal at the start of my ride. At the end of the day my sock was filled with blood and I noticed the gash on my shin was about 1cm deep. The worst pedal slip I had was back in 92 when racing BMX. I got 13 stitches right below my kneecap. Goodtimes.
Interesting video! I am a nutrition expert and every biker could improve their riding by changing the way they eat. You should focus on unprocessed food, high in protein, healthy fats for your hormones and carbohydrates for recovery. Talking about recovery: sleeping should be one of the most important thing for every mountainbiker. Aim for 8hrs per night. Supplement with vitamin d3, zinc, magnesium and fish oil.
Hey man great vid - I have my first ever enduro race in 3 months ... my question: I used to ride DH and have a nice (but old) Trek Session 26” with big forks. Do people enter Enduro with full on DH bikes? Or is that rare, with most riders in single crowns? Cheers bro, subd ;)
You'd never want to enter with a DH bike since there is so much climbing involved. But depending on the race, I suppose you could push up the whole time lol.
I enjoyed your vid, easy to listen to & had me watching to the end 😀👍 I’m a eBiker & it has me thinking?? This is perfect for eBikes. I hate riding uphill ( old 54 & broken lol ) but with my new Levo I now don’t even think about the uphills, & just love the downs. Do they have a category for eEnduro?
You should have added pre race nutrition, about that you need to have carbohydrates the night before the race and drink 2-3 bottles of water also the night before and one before the race
Dude, you have such a good narrator voice!
that's right
For me, the best thing is just...community! Whether with friends or strangers on those transitions, we are all there because we love riding and being out in nature. The MTB community is so welcoming and (mostly) non-judgemental, that's what makes race day so rewarding for us non-podiumers! 🤙🏻
Couldn't have said it better myself!
I will definitely use these tips as I would like to start doing some enduro races.
I really like CLIF bloks because there are many flavors to try and there are quite a few in each pack. Life hack: lick the bottom of one and stick it to your stem to eat later
Such an underrated channel for sure! SUBSCRIBED!

Finally there´s a Enduro race which features my hometrails, you better bet i signed up for that. Been waiting for that opportunity man
I like fig newtons. They come in 2 packs at 7-11 and they have some power in them. Oh yeah, and they're cheap.
:08 I literally clinched my jaw watching you fall right at that rock.
I'm not racing enduro. Keeps my energy levels way up.
I signed up for my first enduro in June. (Big Bear,CA). Lets gooo!
Improving my fat metabolism was a game-changer for me, it allows for more high octane carbs left for the stage. Burn fat mostly on the way up, burn carbs mostly on the stage.
All great tips. I would also add, HAVE FUN.
We all like to be competitive, but the likelyhood of you making top 3 let alone top 20 in your first couple of years or so of Enduro or any racing is slim to none. Always competing against solid veterans.
So just take your time to learn, take it all in. Make it fun, pace yourself. Progress, and before you know it you will be climbing those leader boards eventually.
For me when I did DH races a long time ago, late 90s it started out because my love of it. The traveling around eastern and central Canada ( local bike shop sponsored). Learning the craft. Making friends and contacts. Eventually, progressed where I was a threat to crack the top 5 regularly my last two seasons.

No problem!
Sweet video, I will be going to my 1st Enduro race in 2 months and this video is helping out to understand what is going on in such an event.
My Daughter and I are doing Hubapalooza in a a few weeks. Local to both of us, a little nervous and scared but looking forward to it.
They would be me, complaining on the way up the climb. My joke with the rising fiends is, “gravity sucks!” Anyways, good video.

The Shredist So basically, business as usual 😁👊
In Italy in Enduro the lifts have set times, are you free to go down whenever you want?
In the races I've participated in, yes, you can drop in whenever you arrive to the stage as long as timing and scoring has is there are ready to go.
@@TheShredist what it means that as long as the times and the score are ready?
Just that they have someone there to keep track of the racers dropping into the stage.
