AA Class POV | LTR Enduro | Rambo A Only Test | KTM 300 XC-W TPI

Ride with me through test two on day two of the Lone Star Enduro. This test is known as Rambo and it has been around a long time! I got my first encounter with Rambo in 2003 and have been coming back year after year for this A only test section. The Lubbock Trail Riders put on an incredible event and their race offers some of the most variety in test type of any race in Texas. I had my bike in sixth gear in a couple of tests (way faster than I like!) and then they throw eight miles of Rambo at us. I finished second on the day but did manage to win several tests on Sunday and posted the fastest time in this section. I rode the KTM 350 XC-F on the first day and the KTM 300 XC-W TPI on the second day and plan on posting a video that shows the same test but on different bikes in a later video. I've decided that this 2023 KTM 300 XC-W TPI is the best running TPI bike that I've had even though the previous three have all been identical.

A-only section and still screaming by other riders. Great ride. I like the camera angle and I think it would be perfect if you tilted the camera ever so slightly up, just a little bit.

[@ColeKirkpatrick]

I appreciate the feedback and totally agree on the angle, Still dialing in the chest mount for racing.

Making that trail look easy like always! Its defiantly not a easy ride. I think the camera is good on your chest. Makes you feel in the ride a bit more and you can see the bars a bit. When you stand and lean up with the chin mount it looks a bit like your floating out there. Can't see the bike, but can certainly hear it sing.

Didn’t like the go pro set up this time

[@ColeKirkpatrick]

The chin mount is painful on the neck muscles when racing so that’s why I changed it up and mounted it on the chest.
