The Harsh Reality Of Riding With The BEST Enduro Rider I Know

In this video I show you what it's really like to ride with a pro enduro rider. He is the best hard enduro rider I know for sure and the level of talent between myself and him is insane! We ride the legendary dark side of enduro with steep hills, muddy trails and some hard hill climbs. I had my first ride on a Beta 350 4 stroke, Oh, and I broke my bike trying to do what he does.. I hope you enjoy the video.

    Tip: always stand. You can't load and unload the suspension when sitting down. If its a section you normally would crab walk, keep one foot with all your weight on one peg and lightly push forward with the other, but dont take the weight off the peg foot.

    You looked 10x more comfortable on the 4T. The smooth power delivery gave you way more confidence. I switched last year from a XC to a 500 and you can just do so much more in a single gear. The 250 is amazing in super tight stuff but I think you'd benefit a 4T for sure.

    Riding the 450fse for a month now. Some ice and snow, but yesterday was the first full trail ride. It's melted enough and frost is gone. Bypassing water holes, I would have probably turned around with the KLR. I mean the KLR can break a trail but getting stuck because of its weight is a thing, this skinny bike isn't a concern. It's so light. Waiting for new tires✌ True story, riding every day or every weekend is a great mind set. Everything is cured. Best drug ever.
