I've never had so much trouble - Battle of the Goats 2019 Hard Enduro

Prepare yourself for a long day. This was my first Battle of the Goats. It definitely put the hard in hard enduro.
Despite the dehydration, muscle fatigue, and misery I was in, this is everything you could wish for in a hard enduro. I enjoyed it!

HILL CLIMBS WHO? Nice meeting you man!

[@jacobgunnoe2067]

Braydon Price two of my favriote guys in one place! I saw you in the begging couldn’t believe it. Come visit one of our GNCC races one day ?

[@igfwosty_gamer947]

Braydon Price I watch your vids I love the vids with julias

[@igfwosty_gamer947]

Braydon Price love your vids

[@arrowdoesyt]

Braydon Price are the real one?

[@Faltye]

Wet but not muddy kind of like my underwear best sentence of the video

[@Yaymess]

a 51 min video! Zach you're spoiling us right now !

“Like this is my calling, even though I’m terrible at it”

[@markmontgomery2562]

WOW / I raced hare scrambles in the 90's and thought it was rough. Looks like I was just doing a walk in the park. I think I might go back and do a few hare scrambles and enjoy the race. Thanks for the video. It showed me that I want no part of a hard enduro.

[@nickpanciuk1965]

Every time he says he’s tired or struggling someone says “just breathe” like ok i wasn’t before but i will now

[@ponydown418]

Lol 🤙

[@AustinMHolmes]

I just bought a bike today cuz I enjoyed watching your videos. Thanks for the awesome content

[@markmtbrider]

What did you get?

[@AustinMHolmes]

markmtbrider 2019 Kawasaki 125cc. I got a 125 cuz I’m only 5’4’’ lol

[@markmtbrider]

@@AustinMHolmes I am assuming it isnt a kx 2t....should be a fun ride to learn on and get the fundamentals going, short of a trials bike. Check put Ryan Youngs dvd's at ryp or some instructional video, how to ride trials. Better yet take one of the classes . It is not cheap, but will save you years of learning in the long run.

[@AustinMHolmes]

markmtbrider thanks man I’ll definitely check it out. I use to ride a long time ago and wanted something to learn on again and have some fun. Upgrade in the future

[@MegaZack61]

@@AustinMHolmes Dont be ashamed to get a 125 lol, its more fun to ride a small bike fast then get a 450 and ride it slow.

[@wfodavid]

You have the most enjoyable vids. One because your a decent eider and 2 you have a great sense of humor. Your sporting some nice suspension as well.

[@Hunter.686]

It’s 9:50 now, gotta be up at 4:30 but Zac just dropped the video so I guess I’m awake for the next hour!

[@Zack-dk3pt]

great vid your ability to luagh at yourself makes it much better.

[@LukeBrinkerhoff]

*needed to go to sleep an hour ago “oh look, a new zachatk video”

[@surgez3141]

Hey you inspired me to ride dirt bikes love your videos man keep it up bro

[@dimiaton5800]

Sypher Playz same here

[@zabrow187]

The guy who caught your bike @26:37 on shoots and ladders is Micheal Eller, he helped establish those lines for the race. Dude is a goat machine.

[@extremeenduro1560]

Zach, you are doing fine. These trails are beasts and if you look around, no one is cleaning those hills. Keep up the good work.

[@azdirtbikes5359]

Just found this channel...great commentary.

[@kadesmith2053]

Zach go practice on that trials bike you bought it will help you more than you can imagine!

[@pierredaniels1546]

no Zach bay a enduro bike !

[@bearmims6717]

my level of respect for you my guy. You're so humble about it too, the fact that you can keep going back to these races scares me bro

[@CommieHunter7]

"I'm in my element. I'm not good at it, but I'm in it." Dang, bro. Relate to this really strongly.

[@MidWestMX]

I wouldn't even walk that track let alone ride it haha. Youre riding is awesome Zach. Don't put yourself down. How you get traction in some of those places is insane. You got that Jarvis clutch control!

[@commodoredelish8781]

That hill at 38:50 with the big rock is where I timed out for 6 hours with no water, dead battery, reserve on gas tank 🤣 good work man!

[@mharry860]

Looks like the places we used to ride. It quickly separated the big mouths from the committed.

[@godmangodman9453]

The long videos are the best!

yeeeeeeeeeees cannot wait for TKO woooooooo zach

Most don’t understand how muchyou question your sanity on those hills. And that having fun yet question is simple.

[@renbishop1319]

Haven’t ridden since I broke my shoulder 5 years ago, but after watching this, I’m thinking of digging the bike out of the garage again

[@sethjeffreys3055]

You did good zack that is a brutal course my friend .

[@J450NX5]

Zach, youre too hard on yourself. Youre a good rider. When you get upset, you push too hard. Makes for a bad day. The track/trails will always win when youre forcing. Calm cool calculating decision making. A lot of cardio and rip its freaking head off. Always remember, youre making yourself a better rider with the hard enduro. Anybody can ride fast. When you can do fast and technical...that's when you know youre a well rounded rider. Even with MX.

[@sneaky98gt]

Hey man! That was me on the GasGas there at the checkpoint at the end of the video. You put in an awesome ride to make it that far on the pro course. Very few people made it that far, and I saw virtually no one from there to the end of the lap. Killer ride, and love the videos! Hit us up if you come back down to Brushy sometime.

[@chazman4461]

The teamwork you guys did was fantastic. You guys did great working together. A race like that in warm conditions they really should have a water station setup for those that need it.

[@endurosociety7953]

The race was brutal. I was running the Michelin Enduro tire Tubliss at 4-5 psi. It was hooking up amazing. What wasn’t amazing was my physical stamina. Bike wanted to keep going and my body didn’t. Time to get in better shape for next years! Great footage. P.S. Glad I wasn’t the only one getting stuck on those tiny off camber roots 😂

[@cbrackin531]

Great effort man. That's some tough shit. Bikes are not meant for that. The fact that you even made it that far is amazing. Keep up the great work!!!!

[@sciencemilitia1853]

There is a part of me that will never stop until I am good at hard enduro

[@craigostl]

All them smokers, my kind of party!

[@northrockboy]

Compared to so many other trail rides-races this is very challenging course. Good job

[@KiwiNewellLimited]

if you are ok with buying a tire a race, the IRC IX09W Gekkotta will get you right up those hills!

[@markmtbrider]

Lets keep that our secret.....

[@creedkisling233]

you are by no means a terrible hard enduro rider!! Keep up the great vids and riding!!👍🏻

[@coobay4786]

This wore my ass out just watching.

[@justinlambertoutdoors6313]

One of the funniest voice overs youve ever done

[@martyncoburn1681]

Love the long videos and the Commentary this content is sweet much respect 👍

[@gabewilliams5993]

How long until the TKO videos? I need them to get me through the pain of going back to school.

[@WeaponsEducation]

That was an awesome ride. I just watched it all. After 50 plus GNCC's behind me, this is a typical day! I'll be riding at the croom Enduro...will you? With the hurricane there will be thousands of down trees!

[@vibeflyer]

Not sure if I’m the first to say this......but you’re actually very good at this enduro lark!

[@tipziiy6029]

You don't suck it's pretty rough out there you'll get alot better trust me

[@davidowen6103]

Thanks for the vid. Will watch later.

[@user93634]

Really wanted to do this one. Wish I could have now watching this.

[@bradl45]

I've only run an Ibex with TuBliss, great setup. I haven't tried an Ibex in the rear with a Mousse(only have a front mousse currently). My 450 has a IRC ve33s currently(with TuBliss), it's wearing quick but love the grip, this fall I'll spoon on a rear Mousse and compare vs the TuBliss. No matter what I run, wet roots and rocks make me slip and fall.

[@Bunno1177]

Riding really well. Most technical track I've seen in the states. Fitness and momentum :)

[@bigjonsharp1]

looks like a great course for a trials tire with a tubliss kit

[@scottjohnson2700]

Great video’s and telling about the ride the whole time!! Awesome riding!

[@brentmack51]

Legend! Commentary the best you got chops kid

[@KiwiNewellLimited]

"give 'er hell!" that was my favorite clip haha, great job Zach! Just keep pushing youll get better at these!! I plan to run the whole AMA hard enduro series in 2020!! hope to see you out there especially if you come to the west coast ones like EnduroFest, Stix and Stones, and Last Dog Standing!

[@natechampney1258]

Great content, enjoy every bit of it!

[@muppets_inc]

22:55-24:00 - THIS. It's exactly the same thoughts that go through my head too! There is nothing worse than getting 30 minutes into a 5-6 hour race and finding yourself burned up, BUT, you did an excellent job getting yourself together and pushing on, and looking pretty good while doing it. Nice track, great riding, and the commentary is the cherry on top.

[@wrenchone5003]

I can't even believe there's enough people that can make a dirt bike go up this stuff to have a race .

[@ka4172]

Very entertaining watch a good rider like you.When i watch Jarvis climbing extreme steep rocky steps he rev his engine close to idle many time in second gear.Most he make steep hills in many small pivot turns getting to the topp.

[@jayeye4798]

Captivating video, Zach. Awesome riding!

[@PlushEnduro]

Late to the ZachAtk party here, but I've never binge watched ride videos like this... until now. Cracking up endlessly. Your Hard Enduro #stugglecity is ridiculously entertaining. Thanks Zach! P.S. -- The sleeveless muscle guy man-handling that bike.

[@Grezza420]

Props to you and anyone doing these races. I’m exhausted just watching this video

[@Saa45MIV]

Looks super gnarly zackatc.. thank you for all your pain and suffering for our entertainment

[@knights518]

Out of all the races I’ve watched you do this one looked the most un fun race I’ve ever seen. But huge props to you for running this race

I felt so thirsty and exhausted watching this... I need a comfier sofa. Great story! Keep it up

Great video as always!! Probably the only motovlogger(?) I can watch a 51 minute video of haha

Nothing like going for hike with your dirt bike.

[@DirtBikingwithDonnie]

Awesome vid! Saw you at TKO. Looking forward to that video.

[@GeddyRC]

Great editing, great commentary, and almost an hour long. It's like your videos constantly hit the Trifecta of Awesome. Really looking forward to watching this one in full tonight!

[@Tater4200]

the great part about this place is that you can ride here almost all year long.. they have 90+ miles of trails. single track. black and double black. also some nice wide trails that swoop and up and down and they are really nice. dirtbikes have access to the whole 90+ miles. atv's can do about half. they have a SWEET mx track with tabletops and stuff. you can bring a camper or tent and camp out. its 25 bucks a day or if you get 3 days its 60. worth every...penny.. i live about 35 min away and i love it there

[@denislawson771]

Love all your vids zak they inspire me for when i want to do this

[@justinlambertoutdoors6313]

Dirt in NC is really strange one place its straight red clay 50miles down the road its sand another 50miles its sand and clay another 50miles its sand and loam

[@paulbugden7708]

I have been watching your videos for a long while now, love your sense of humor 😁 And the videos have just got better every year!

[@alphawolfadventures1470]

Way to keep fighting man. You’ve got the best dirt bike vids. Feel ya on the “why am I doing this? Like this is my calling, traveling hours around the world “ part haha it’s the challenge man or we’re just masochist😂 anyways how did you get out with the broken peg?

[@chumbaenduro3556]

very nice yours videos bro !! there are very funny yours comments, great rider !! thank to share, greeting from argentina !!

[@joilsongomes5]

holly shit that was hard. talking about the trails calling a feel the same way in the track, sometimes i rent the track to do 1 single lap and my bike breaks down and i have to drive all the way back for nothing, next month i m back on the road. its in the blood nobody can explain.

[@johnchafin3817]

Seriously take a look at the new 2020 Beta 300's when they are at the dealers.

looks hard out there.

[@cgeller13]

We have had a lot of rain here in NC lately. It also does not help our dirt has a high clay content which sucks for traction.

Best enduro videos out there!

[@bradl45]

26:30, sweet hand off on top of the ladder, :) Huge thanks for the video, you grabbed some nice footage. One can be in fantastic shape, but it takes lots of heart to struggle through these tough events, and what a name for an event, Battle of the goats, lol. I have not raced anything close to this hard.

[@ktmidaho160]

you should come up to North Idaho for the Silver Mountain Extreme Hard Enduro. It'll kick the sh*t out of you also - in probably cooler weather than this weather. I think Colton finished 2nd or 3rd here. it's in Kellogg, Idaho -

[@stephendavis7707]

do you ever carry some energy gels ? so even if you run out of water a satchette of E/G ay at least keep you going !! great going looks so tough drill some holes in your mousse it will soften it

[@ButtersMX]

he is the best dirtbike rider i know

[@BirdyEagleEye]

Dude. The 'calling' to hard enduro speech. So relatable xD You think you're a pretty good rider, till you get put into ridiculous terrain, where people like Wade Young make it look so damn easy... nope

[@WeaponsEducation]

Good stuff try a scotts steering dampener I swear by them
