Everytime I watch one of your videos it blows my mind how you are cruising through these sections and still commentating. Keep up the great work we need more people to show off the hard enduro community and bring it more main stream

Thanks, will do! Glad you like them

This is a great perspective Max thanks! It is interesting seeing how clogged up it is. A lot of these guys can ride fast and do hills, but when it comes to wet rocks and wood they are obviously really struggling. This conga line should just be moving through this. I botched my prologue by 8 minutes or so, but that represented over 100 places for day 2 (Friday). When I got to Big Creek it was mostly cleared out compared to this. I had to wait a little bit for the route to clear on each section so I could just ride it, and I let a bunch of pros and fast A guys on their 2nd laps by, but yeah cleared everything except one or two spots had to hike-a-bike over tree roots. I took the switchbacks @8:19 and it was an easy and fast way around (with no one on it) going up the creek bed in that section.

Ha, absolutely not! I raced Hard Enduro forr many years. I am now focused on getting the sport exposure while still racing select events and Endurocross. Cheers boys!

That would be super frustrating for the pros to lose all their time gains with the bottleneck and lapped traffic Definitely challenging terrain

We met in I think ‘19 when it was silver kings. I pitted behind you in the parking lot. I’ll never forget your advice on tire set up. From hard enduro, harescramble , desert and track I still use that set up. Many thanks

Theyre so different, but the Betas carbureted engine is like a tractor, so good. I also prefer the suspension and chassis on the Beta.

The Beta. The chassis and engine sets it apart without a doubt.

love the footage but seriously reconsidering doing this race as an amateur with these bottlenecks. its like the worst of the c class with a class obstacles.

This was the most congested area of the event and all the amateurs I spoke with had a blast. Come on out!

all for traction control to be mandatory, 4lbs bib and gummers.

Please do a beta set up video. Thank you

Max Gerston you have the best hard enduro coverage out there👍good shit man

Non racer here so take it for what its worth, but whether its the course or the race setup is the reason for the carnage, wouldn't it be better to plan a race to avoid these bottlenecks...seems to me it totally takes away the competitiveness of the event.

@NoxiousStimulus

21 күн бұрын

The only reason there are these bottlenecks is because the guys riding aren’t the best, the pros could walk through this course and never miss a beat, the traffic makes it an experience game. Its just another level is all

@algee8228

21 күн бұрын

@@NoxiousStimulus Seems to me they should separate the classes then. I understand this is a 3-lap race so eventually there's gonna be lapping. The bottlenecks of lappers leaves too much to good/bad luck for the pros and takes away from the pure competition, not to mention it must be frustrating AF for them.

Lots goes into putting on a Hard Enduro event and overall the promoter and organizers did well at this event. Yess, there are things you can do to mitigate bottlenecks.

Thanks@@MaxGerston ! Appreciate the comment from a pro!! Great video work you are doing on this series. Hope to make it to TKO to watch.

Those guys causing the bottlenecks are idiots, they should be pairing up with each other to get through the tough sections, instead they just sit there being the problem instead of the solution, they should really emphasize that at the riders meetings, if riders would use this strategy bottlenecks would be a lot less of a problem.

What a cluster… all these “wana be” hard enduro goons .. all the do is give the sport a bad name and wreck trails and riding areas because they lack the technique

I can see how poor technique can be more destructive. Another reason to join an max off-road enduro clinic.
