[@hevechvy]

you did great man. awesome effort.

[@roccit]

21:35 This is hard enduro. At least for us mortals. Tough ride man, nice push! Live to fight another day! ... and get a new LiON battery lol

[@zabrow187]

Rocco N April Thanks! It wasn’t my battery the magnets in my starter broke free and jammed my starter.

[@KnoxOffRoad]

Was a good one! That's me at 12:00 . Looped out for the first time ever in that rut.....

[@twiztid0088]

And that was only the qualifier? That's crazy man! Good job!

[@Motowithbran]

Solid effort man! I hate I couldn’t be there for you and buddy.

[@PatFarrellKTM]

good video, great attempt. There was no traction anywhere on the loop.

[@hevechvy]

your e-start wasn't working? Now I have to quit complaining about my yz250x not having an e-start.

[@enoch1844]

Thanks! Enjoyed that. What bike are you riding? I need something more like that... I'm riding trails quite a bit easier but doing it with a YZ450F... without a lot of experience... It really doesn't want to go slow enough. Lol. Just got too good a deal on it... but am now looking for the right bike for where I ride.

[@zabrow187]

My bike is a 16 Husky TE250. I rode a 09 YZ450f for a little while as a single track bike, and a friend that was at this race rides a YZ450, it can do it but it is a struggle and definitely not the ideal machine for hard enduro.

[@enoch1844]

@@zabrow187 Thanks... so about 15 lbs lighter and geared a LOT better. Having electric start is a BIG help after a while. Mine usually starts on the 1st or 2nd kick but a friend I usually ride with frequently takes a lot more... that alone wears him out. Lol.

[@GyroRon]

28 minutes in or so.... that’s when I’d want to take a break and have a smoke

[@solartherm]

smoke em if you got em!!!

[@GyroRon]

Around the 14 minute mark.... them bottlenecks were at every single difficult thing on the two goat races I did. Was impossible to get a clean run at anything. You can sit and wait for it to clear but everyone coming up behind would jump ahead and clog it further so it would be a inch up and wait and inch up and wait up every hill. Fuck that. Glad I just watched this year, but honestly looked very doable other than chicken fight and you really had clean runs at most everything.

[@zabrow187]

GyroRon bottle necks weren’t terrible and honestly the afternoon race was probably easier, the course had a chance to dry out and less people being stuck in weird places.

[@markmtbrider]

Good ride. Ever catch that kdx rider?

[@zabrow187]

markmtbrider there were a couple KDX’s out there. Tyler Shepardson from OTP podcast was on one, there is a picture of him laying in a creek after the race.

[@TubolMotoadventures]

What pair of tires are you using?

[@zabrow187]

Romel Emperado Kenda Ibex Rear and Kenda Millville II front both with tubliss at 4.5psi

[@maxarey4658]

Fabulous setup that is! Kenda all day!

[@robertrips]

Mannnn I think you could've made it. My first lap was like 1hr 20 min and I managed to complete 3 laps.

[@zabrow187]

Robert Rips The farther from Saturday I get, the more I think I should’ve gone back for another one. I was gassed, but live and learn. Next year I’m making it to Sunday.

[@lwil6393]

Run 2-4 PSI tire pressure in this type of terrain, especially when wet. If you are worried about bending rims you are in the wrong hobby.

[@zabrow187]

I was running 4.5psi front and rear with tubliss.

[@nickpass14]

Good job the pros should went first, dried up a bit by 2:30

[@zabrow187]

Gray's Pro-Tree After seeing the pro race I agree, it would’ve been beat up a little bit but more dry conditions would’ve been nice for the B/C group.

[@endurophutwick489]

YIKES! at 12:30...sooo sketchy.

[@richardblackshire4132]

Look who it is at 21:23 lol

[@zabrow187]

@fullthrottleenduro himself

[@GyroRon]

Blowing banners out your way! Lol

[@zabrow187]

Just the one at the end of Grahams.
