The bumps were there. I found a lot of them. My lower back is reminding me of that today.

A bunch of years ago at FCA camp in Henryville, IN we voted Shawn the smoothest pro rider. And there we some fit guys there....Ryan Sipes as well as others!

@@JacobKapostins That was such a blast! I never saw you again after lap one. Surely that thing will go more than one lap.

@@shawnclark56 Haha I made it 2 1/4 laps. That was me off to the left at 25:00. I had some technical difficulties with my camelbak and couldn't catch back up after fixing it. Looking forward to riding with you again at the next one!

@@JacobKapostins oh shoot ok. I didn't see you. I kept pushing to try to catch you and thought you were still leading. Fun battle for sure. See you at the next one.

@@14er1 I don't know. That XE4 works really good and with the interchangeable batteries I can finish the race no matter how long it is.

@@kennymoore7717 I was racing out a van. That was the real thing very warm from being in my Dad's back pocket... haha Warm energy drinks immediately following a race is not ideal!

@@john85allen He's fast. I was super impressed.

Yes I typically do it every year. I love that race!

@@shawnclark56 it's only 3 or 4 miles from my house. Can hear it even. At least it won't be 96 like richloam was... wow.

The heat was awful. It took be a solid hour after the race to feel normal again.

Battery life for Mark, a 60+ A rider is about an hour. I am getting about 35 min out of a battery. So yes we are changing batteries every lap. Mark has a patent pending quick change battery system that allows the battery changes to be done in about 8 seconds. This model in this video is a prototype and does not have the quick change battery system. However, we were still changing batteries in under 30 seconds which is great. Honestly, this bike is just so fun to ride, I don't mind giving up a little time in the pits. It is so easy to ride, I actually can it ride it much longer without the fatigue. This race was 2 hours and 15 min and I felt totally fine at the end. On my gas bike I would have been exhausted. Instant smooth power makes the bike so user friendly. The power is always right where you need it. They are definitely the future. They will only get better and I believe they are already superior to gas bike technology.

Congrats man! Those stumps were super sketchy. I definitely backed it down and didn't ride all out through there.

Nice! Does the controller have some kind of auto-shutoff at a certain temp? If so, would it be worth spending a few amps to run a small electric fan on one of the radiators, and program it to come on at 10 or 15 degrees below the shutoff temp?

These two weekends are the first time we've experienced overheating. We will get that sorted this summer during testing.

@@jameslaguardia2709 Yes it does. The water pump and any thing you want to connect is controlled by the controller. You can also set the trigger temp to whatever you want. We could bump it up a bit.

It's like cheating! Ebike is definitely an advantage on the start but disadvantage of having to pit every lap. It's so fun to ride though!

Yes. These are new batteries that have a longer run time but the quick connect has not been engineered just yet. Plus this was the first time riding this specific bike so we wanted to check temp and battery life on the first stop. Also the cell phone which I use to monitor battery life, temp, mode, etc didn't reconnect initially when we swapped the battery so we were trying to get that working. These are easy fixes but just part of the learning process to make this bike even better.

Yes super scary. There were some really hard packed holes I didn't see. Hit one and just barely saved it.

Hey thanks. Dunlop MX33 for the rear tire.
