The Scary Side Of Enduro

If there was ever a hard enduro challenge, this was it! When you ride your bike down the side of a mountain and you can't ride back up, there's only on way to go and that's down. Without knowing if we could ride out, we headed down one of the steepest hills I've ever taken my bike.

A lot of people really don’t understand the GoPro effect, but if something looks semi steep on GoPro you can be sure it’s insanely steep in real life. Good job riding that! 🤙

[@FOXeye95]

applies to any camera really

[@BehindBarsEnduro]

@@FOXeye95 Sure, and the smaller the sensor the larger the effect, right?

[@mbal4052]

@@FOXeye95you’re missing the point

[@_keerp]

I thought it was the other way around, gopro makes it look more steep?

[@BehindBarsEnduro]

@@_keerp Sadly not. 😅

[@lostinpa-dadenduro7555]

I love it when my friends shout back up the hill, “It’s not that bad”. It’s always that bad. 😂

[@pastrie42]

They see it like it’s go pro steep, we see it like it’s real life steep. Lol

[@Chris-gf4jj]

We're all cut from the same cloth when someone ask why we do this we already know they wouldn't understand even if we told them lol I'm loving the videos and I'm taking every turn with you from the great smokey mountains Tennessee.

[@BigDaveTALKS]

My gawd, that road had to be the most welcoming sight to see after that insane hill.

[@mikebetts9677]

That is the most insane ride into the unknown I have ever seen. My hat is off to you! Thanks for making this video.

[@Tom-gt8yv]

Love the look of this terrain on this vid, I know it's the same place but different conditions make it look so cosy and fun

[@thekiwi_pilot]

nice job man I,v been watching your vids for 2 year now you have inspire me to keep going with enduro🙂

[@theamericanrider5047]

"But at least it's not cold, cause you know when it cold outside, when you go outside, and it's cold." Couldn't have said it better myself. 😂

[@knvern]

Such an entertaining video, thank you for taking the time to record. These videos get me thru rebuild season in the US where it’s basically unridable on the east coast 🤙🤙🤙

[@Inferno_17]

Oh man this really shows what type 2 fun is like with dirtbiking! It can suck in the moment but afterwards it is like... man that was fun! Great vid

[@P4ddyC4ke]

That was NUTS!!! It even looked steep in the video. I can only imagine being there!

[@Sarogus]

Ralph better come out with a bloopers reel. Great vid, you should include the banter more often!

[@BigEvy]

Those woods are so nice ! I’d love to ride something like that. Our bush here has so much undergrowth it’s nearly impenetrable.

[@mx96123]

I love your videos and thanks to you you inspired me to ride an enduro and cross motorcycle

[@AnthH13792]

your far from a bad rider, all good riders obviously some better then others and the laugh between the lads is always 10/10

[@slate8881]

Just started riding recently after finally being able to get a bike (still can't afford one, way too broke but my cousin bought a new one, and in his words "if I sold it the money would last a week, this way I make a family member happy and get a new riding buddy") I'm so addicted, and after riding mtb for years on a cheap bike, it made it a lot easier to start out since I had the basics of movement down Absolutely love your channel, you were a big part of my inspiration and the reason I knew the exact type of riding I wanted, not motocross, not supercross but enduro (although I've thrown in some trials skills as well)

[@americanaccents]

man what a crazy one. the rain rides up there always make me happy to watch. ☺️

[@justinhedegore7464]

What a hill! That was so entertaining to watch and looked like a great adventure

[@simonelliott1146]

I really can’t remember, when I have laughed as much. Possibly one of your most memorable rides, for me anyway. Well done for finding your way out of hell.

[@Chevaposaurus]

Fam, as an enduro rider, riding in rain at Stradbroke Island, its ALL SAND, rain, is so lit!!! Love the content, lets gooo

Bro i take my hat off to you atleast you go for everything respect man!

[@eklarsen1459]

Had a deal like that in the pacific northwest, bush whacking the whole way out, part of me wanted to just leave the bike it was so bad, at least you kept your spirts up and I salute you for being able to, I just cussed the whole time.

[@user-mj5yh7xz4k]

Love your vids man

[@Zekeperfect]

You inspired me to try this and now im interested in it

[@liam_wright]

You inspired me to start trying Enduro lol and I absolutely love it, I was kinda timid with my riding but when I found you a couple of years ago and seeing you improve over the years and get more comfortable it just inspired me so much lol

[@MidWestMX]

Makes me happy to read things like this. Glad you started riding 🤟

[@DentonJohnStanfield-fq1ck]

Congratulations! And that wasn't that steep.. Nooooo! Hahaha!😆 You handled that well..

Love the north face beanie! Wearing the same one in grey while i watch this 😅

Great riding! That looked super steep through the gopro, so it had to be virtual straight up and down :)

[@styrianrider898]

Thats a cool location and looks like fun! Love it! 😁💪

[@evilcptsl0w]

i really enjoyed this one, i bet it was so much fun

[@jimmiejones5865]

Non enduro riders don’t understand the feeling of relief and satisfaction after being getting out of a hard/frustrating situation no matter what it’s still always fun looking back tho

[@supermoto_blkf]

Ngl you are my most favorite youtuber bro keep it up🙌

[@MidWestMX]

[@jonnyandsamofficial]

Woah that hill is so steep!! And the spikey trees 😮

FYI, there is this gadget you may want to try, the goggles glass with vent holes, it has quite good reviews.

[@aqp1e711]

I miss this type of enduro, I had to stop because of money issues and recently purchased a DR650 for adventure riding. Miss being able to hop around haha

[@MrSamucbr]

After watching you going through this I feel like I want to see the scene of you entering your home safe and sound hahaha

Those trees always get me, all those spikes of death just sticking out of them, I couldn't do it.

[@jasenhicks]

I was thinking that in all these "Woods" shots, there's so many places to be impaled.

[@losbastardosmtb]

the branches on these trees that dense are so weak they will snap if you walk into them most of the time , but your point is still very valid 👋🚲

[@jeffmccollum3769]

awesome riding

[@powdertrax9742]

I can’t believe you ride through those dead branches with no goggles. Living in the PNW we have a lot those as well, every time I go mtn biking I fear getting one in my eye. On one ride I had just climbed a hill and at the top I stopped and leaned against a tree so I didn’t have to unclip, my buddy was climbing and stopped next to me but couldn’t unclip, so he fell over onto me and I couldn’t hold both of our weight so we fell towards the tree and one of those branches was coming towards my right eye. I was watching the stick that was going to put my eye out, but luckily when the stick poked me in the inner eye socket the stick went upward instead of down into the eyes. I rode away with a 2” scratch, could’ve really sucked

[@YungFusebox]

This looks a great place to ride! Apologies of you've answered this over and over, but where this filmed?

[@mellowr1]

I love your videos. Your commentary is funny as F#@K!!🤣

[@aaaaaa-lt2tl]

Enduro sure can be frightening. Worst part being that you normally trespass, and that calling for help is a last resort. Fun, but horrifying sometimes

[@Samthecarpman]

Do you know if the ktm125 exc has electric start if so what’s the oldest model they have it on?

[@Reality_Dystopia]

You seem like quite an amateur rider, makes me feel alright. 👍 can’t wait to starting exploring on my EXC300

[@cunning-stunt]

Now I remember why I got rid of the XR and got back into mountain biking. Far cheaper and more fun.

[@TJTodd604]

Wicked vid! Love the terrain. What are you guys riding? What is your height and weight? I am 6'2, 210lbs and finding it hard to get a 250 that fits and doesn't have soft suspension for my weight

[@flowlogic76]

WTF?! This is hilarious, great attitude!

[@coburna5]

I don’t know how you guys ride in that rainy, soppy weather you guys always have over there. And I also don’t see the fun in riding in between all those goddamned trees as 2mph…..but to each their own. Yet another reason I’m so lucky to live in the states. My guns, bacon and sunny warm summers.

I wish we had such forests and rain here in Israel. I'm so jealous, protect your nature, for some it's not for granted.

[@cinemabunny]

If that is the type of riding you do frequently, get aluminum hand guards so you don't lose a lever and cut the bars to narrow the width. Aluminum Radiator guards should be another precaution to keep a branch from going through the radiator.
