Well done Zen Master! Just did my first ESC enduro at 47yo at Jiminy Peak. It was INTENSE! Running that blind was badass.

Sick! This was inspirational cause I'm 40 and have wanted to enter one of these and finally did! Look 10 years younger, but feel my age after a run. Pretty good at park despite relative inexperience, but I've always worried more about jumps and fun over speed and line choices. Just looking for a challenge, something different. Thx for the inspiration. Bike looks dope BTW!

After watching a bunch of your vids, I’m still amused how you keep composed, I feel like I might be letting out a few expletives, like with that blind drop! Keep up pushing those limits!

Stage 2 you were super tentative. I know you're faster than that. That must have been a super slippery course. Once you lose your mojo and confidence, it's a wrap. Been there, done that for sure.

Yeah, Rookies, LOL In the next video on one of the stages, my tires randomly slide out. I cant even explain it. But glad i got my first one out of the way. I get more comfortable with every race, now to improve :-)

Harry, Honestly, This was a heck of way to start enduro racing. LOL I was just surviving. But I had to get it out of the way so I can build confidence and PILOT my bike.

Congrats Bro that was so Awesome !!! you inspire me sooo much! Im scared sh*^&%less to try that, but your "hey give it go" attitude makes me want to try so bad! If I ever run a race it will be cause of you Sam! No judgment just encouragement! Thanks for being real.

Yo FF! you can do it. The first one was tough, but a fun experience. Glad I tried. Its just like running a best effort "strava segment" do that a few times. :-)
