[@natehills9388]

Super physical tracks for day 6.

[@MountainBikingTrips]

Good RIDE Freeriday :)

[@eugenespreutels8305]

Fantastic riding on some great trails. Looks like a good time though I am guessing they are a lot steeper than they look on camera! Would love to ride there some day.

Definitely keen to see Alex’s “offseason” training program. Dude is an actual machine I think

[@alexptdmg]

Training for this event is how many beers I can have everyday and still ride the next! 😂

[@MinhNguyen-sr6dn]

do you see any mid travel bikes like the sb140 at these races?

[@natehills9388]

Most opt for the big bike but you can definitely ride a mid travel rig if that is your thing.

[@MinhNguyen-sr6dn]

@@natehills9388 Thanks Nate... I've been making my way through all your videos. I've watched you ride the SB140 through some tough stuff in Mexico, and of course the SB160 at the enduro races. I'm agonizing over which bike to get... the 140 or 160. Appreciate the reply, and love your work!

Way to keep it rubber side down. Rocky, Rooty goodness. May have lost a filling just watching that. Wells done dude.

[@natehills9388]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@chickesnssurfclub3970]

Why no gloves ? I cant remember a video u do unless cold i think. I have clamy hands, is that why ? feel like my hands will slip...

[@natehills9388]

It's just personal preference.

[@jcarls44]

question: on a big race like this, are you being serious about racing and looking to place at all? or is it more of a show up and gain experience/practice?

[@TimMaddux]

Nate won the TransNZ enduro in 2019 and James won it the same year in 40+. Often he’s doing something more like this with follow cam / party laps.

[@alexptdmg]

This event is more about the fun of riding, but we te definitely moving pretty good 😉

[@natehills9388]

The beauty of this event is you can take it serious if you want or you can take it as a guided tour of some of the best trails in the area. We were having fun and filming but definitely riding at a reasonable pace.
