NE 24 Hour Race 2019

North East 24 hour race. Camera got water inside and broke so was only able to get the first lap of footage unfortunately.
I was on a team in the 4 man sportsman class. Hardest race I've ever done for sure. I ended up getting hurt on my night ride around midnight so the rest of the 3 guys had to finish out til 10AM without me.
Pretty insane experience. The heat was in the mid 90s also which didn't make things any easier.

[@P4ddyC4ke]

Woooooo! Was so excited to see a new video. You're crazy! So fast chasing that guy. I'm not gonna lie, I saw the title "24 hour race" and was hoping for 24 hours of footage. :) I hope this is part one of like 47. LOL In all seriousness, if you've got more footage I'd definitely be interested in watching, especially some of the night riding. Great job man, especially on a slick tire.

[@SkinnySkinch]

im super bummed my GoPro shit the bed. I was prepared with 4 extra batteries and everything to make it last all night. somehow got water in it and it fried it. the night portion was very interesting. I def slowed down at night. my lights were plenty bright but there's something about not being able to read too far up ahead that slows you down. we got 7th in our class and 69th overall out of 233 teams.

[@ripnriding1]

Nice riding man! I did the ironman 40+ but pulled the pin when the rain hit LOL. I was running same tire with a super soft mouuse and loved it!!!

[@SkinnySkinch]

John Bragdon you are one badass for doing that haha props to you! I dunno about my tire but I was losing traction real bad in the rear. Mid day it felt a lot better as everything dried. But when night hit again ground got moist and I started slipping, my front M59 had two huge gashes in it on this first set of 3 laps. Broke a throttle cable on my second go. Rough day haha

[@Johnr37us]

As a person that also races let me say ... good job and I m sorry to see you got hurt. I’m getting a new 300 Tpi so I will probably see you at a Virginia race near East Tennessee some time.

[@SkinnySkinch]

thank you, I will be alright I think. swelling has gone down slightly today and it freed up some motion. you'll love the 300. ill be at all of them if I can help it so see you there!

[@noob-rider421]

Wow, that beat you up. Never heard so much cussing, except this one time I served on a ship.. lol. Good job for hanging in and just doing it. You Inspire a lot of us.

[@SkinnySkinch]

haha man sorry but yeah it really destroyed me. this was only the first lap too when the track was smooth..... haha.

[@noob-rider421]

@@SkinnySkinch hahaha, I wasnt complaining, but heck yeah, 1st lap and all that happens. Love your videos man.

[@ripnriding1]

I HATED THE PINES AT 23 min mark too lol....those RUTS that developed and the traffic!!!! hahahahaha

[@SkinnySkinch]

John Bragdon yeah I hear that, there was a few times where I got my groove on them and throttled through without putting feet down or dropping bike, but, that was only a few out of many haha

[@markmtbrider]

I thought I warned you about the 505, must have been on another channel....absolutely doesn't hook here in damp Ohio woods , scary AF on grass....lol good ride . The 525 extreme compound is pretty sweet, tubliss2 6 to 8 psi . Looks like a good time. P.s. I have a 505 with at least 3/4 tread on it if someone wants to buy it , going cheap !

[@SkinnySkinch]

dude I thought this place was going to be bone dry which the 505 woulda been good in. I loved it in my last race at harleywood VCHSS except for in the muddy slick sections. but yeah it was TERRIBLE this entire course lol. hated it.

[@markmtbrider]

@@SkinnySkinch seems like a good choice for out west. Anymore you never know if it is going to a mudder in the middle of summer around here...lol

[@brianp7938]

Nice job Scott- lots of props for even entering that race. that's a hell of a drive for you guys too, no? did you wind up changing the tire at least? awesome job.

[@SkinnySkinch]

thanks Brian yeah 11 hours each way for me. I actually ended up getting 2 big slashes on my front tire at some point on lap 2. got back to pits after 3 laps and swapped my front wheel. I ended up leaving the shinko 505 on all race it did well on my second time out bc the course dried out so much but then once night fell the humidity and dew made it slop up again. hell of an experience. im dead.

[@PatFarrellKTM]

Nice race. Please tell us what you think of your rear tire.

[@SkinnySkinch]

hahaha "this damn rear tire"

[@willybolt6397]

Nice Riding Brother! Hope to see you at BOTG!

[@SkinnySkinch]

thanks man! I'll def be there coming up soon. got my ibex tires ready to go!

[@davemartini4136]

I race for twenty five years till my body wore out you'll get it but keep in mind your front brake used properly will make life a lot easier but great job for only 2 years of racing. try to keep you last 2 fingers on the brake lever at all times and tap it when your in a turn or just trying to stop takes some practice but you'll see how it helps big time .

[@SkinnySkinch]

thank you again I will def work on it. so 2 fingers on the brake and 1 finger on the clutch at all times?

[@orijinalgamesta9738]

Skinny you missed some yellow tape back there, or did u get it next lap?😂!! Juss bustin ure ballz haha!

[@SkinnySkinch]

ORiJiNaL GaMeSTa 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I thought about taking some more out but that last set hurt my neck so bad lol it was strangling me as I tried to rip through it and it wasn’t ripping lol. Was like damn that shits overly strong!!!

[@ripnriding1]

that section at 21 minute mark......just got more and more slimey.......hated it lol

[@SkinnySkinch]

John Bragdon Hahahaha mannnn I hated a lot of that course. At night I can’t remember where but it was where the roots were super thick and super exposed it just killed me haha. Why do we torture ourselves for fun?

[@ghpjerry]

I haven't watched much of you lately, not sure why (lol), but nice race as usual. Hope all is well.

[@SkinnySkinch]

hahaha no problem man watch whenever you want. ill keep em comin. that race was brutal. all is good my new bike comes in soon!

[@JL-FBGM]

those starts always amaze me, you guys were flying! I was a course marshal, helping out...it was all fun and games until that rain came! til next year -J

[@SkinnySkinch]

Awesome McKickass hey thanks for marshaling! It was fun but I honestly don’t know if I’ll ever do it again lol. Just the full weekend of being out in the muggy brutal heat was hell. If I had a nice toy hauler with AC and a couch to hang out in when I wasn’t riding woulda made a big difference I think.

[@vtbiker8844]

I was in the 30+ sportsman group, and I missed every turn you did haha. Nice riding, howbout that rain at 5 a.m.?!?

[@SkinnySkinch]

hahaha man I was just all over the place. so much nerves and just following riders instead of reading the trail. it was crazy for sure

[@braaapscallion7245]

That was intense 😳 Good work 🍻

[@SkinnySkinch]

brutal man haha and this was the perfect first lap. course got destroyedddddd

[@hoosiertrailrider]

Man you weren't on your A game this day. You gotta get rid of the 250.

[@SkinnySkinch]

T Bahr think so? Man I feel better on the 250 than the 300. The XCW would have shined in the woods but not those fast sections. It’s a trade off I guess. My rear tire messed me up more than anything I think. Was slipping and sliding all over.

[@brycemcguire8935]

I moved to America about three years ago from South Africa. I spent 2 years in California and recently moved to North Carolina. I’ve been riding all my life and was wondering if you could recommend any nice enduro trails in Cary or around Cary you could recommend. Thanks🙂

[@SkinnySkinch]

Hey man unfortunately there are not really any trails near cary. the closest trails would be at the local MX track called NCMP North Carolina Motorsports Park. It's up in Henderson, NC and has 3 motocross tracks and about 10-15 miles of trails.

[@SkinnySkinch]

Bryce McGuire if you’re willing to drive a few hours brushy mountain MotorSports park and brown mountain ohv system are both excellent trail systems about 3 hours from you.

[@brycemcguire8935]

SkinnySkinch thanks I’ll definitely check them both out. Love your videos btw👍🏻

[@SkinnySkinch]

@@brycemcguire8935 Thank you! you will definitely enjoy either. check out some videos on youtube of brushy mountain or brown mountain you will see.

[@SkinnySkinch]

@@brycemcguire8935 big extreme enduro race at brushy mountain in a couple weeks called Battle of the GOATS.I believe Colton Hakker is supposed to make an appearance

[@snyderhaus]

ya buddy! I like your light contraption.. hahaha

[@snyderhaus]

Make sure you do an upload of it... ;)

[@SkinnySkinch]

@@snyderhaus thanks man haha it's a task lighting LED light bar. pretty cool setup. I also ran 2 lights on my helmet so with all 3 lights I could see pretty well at night but still slower speeds its sketchy

[@SWFlowseeker]

Nice riding man. Looks like a good time

[@SkinnySkinch]

SWFlowseeker thanks man it was a good time for sure, this first lap video does not sure how the track truly was by the end. It was destroyeddddd and just brutal.

[@austinleach3229]

That moment you realize I have to run 24 hrs with this piece of shit slippery tire.. must have been demoralizing 😂🤘🏻

[@SkinnySkinch]

AUstin LEach so much truth to that lol

[@evanbuchanan6732]

Pretty darn good start for not knowing when to even go 😂

[@SkinnySkinch]

😂😅😅😅 yeah I was thinking I was going to hear a horn bc I didn't see a flagger.... then I saw guys running haha whoops. worked out okay my bike started pretty quick. I was surprised honestly.

[@adamdoyley7017]

How you getting on with the steering damper thinking of buying one for my 2019 ktm 300tpi

[@SkinnySkinch]

I tried one on my 2019 300 TPI and didn't like it. But I only gave it one chance and took it off. on this bike I actually really do like it at or near its lowest setting. its not really noticeable but my bike does feel more stable at speed. if you turn it up it reallllllly changes the steering feel almost like you're fighting the bars sometimes. some people like that feeling though.

[@seancarr9907]

I was in that race also. That place beat me up its bumpy as hell. I was in Empty Pocket Racing

[@SkinnySkinch]

Sean Carr hell yeah man! How’d y’all end up? We got 7th in our class and 69th overall.

[@seancarr9907]

We got 52nd overall and 15th in our class

[@Tankerman]

Let me just say by yall even entering a 24 hour race yalls mamas got to be asking if somewhere in yalls family tree yall have a brother and sister marriage thing going on. I guess you started the race for the group? How did yall decide what order to run? If any questions I ask sounds like a busy body just ignore. Oh man that run at the beginning is why you wont see me doing one of these, yea thats the only reason. Buddy I was pondering if you were going to try and maintain that pace the whole race. Suck it up buttercup I didnt feel a thing. Getting pass is something that takes great skills and I have mastered that skill. Hey now I was just getting into a rhythm and the video ended? I paid good money to watch this geez. I guess Summer wasnt boyfriend hunting this weekend. My wife told me to tell you its FORD not F$&k. Hope you was able to change batteries and caught a little of each set. Hope yall had a good time and no one got hurt. Thanks for another great adventure. Stay safe

[@SkinnySkinch]

hahahaha! Yes I sure did start off for the team. I am not sure they kinda decided I would go first, Randall second Melvin 3rd and Joe 4th. it was such a long race that it really didnt make much difference I dont think who went when. im not a huge fan of those GP style starts either but I didn't do too shabby. I was trying to keep up, about halfway through that first lap I realized I was going to die by night time if I dont save some energy. and NO hahahah Summer wasn't at this race unfortunately :/ my gopro got water in it so unfortunately this is all the footage I have. Bummer. Hope you had a nice weekend I saw you upload a couple vids I think Ill check them out later tonight

[@Tankerman]

Oh okay, I gave yall credit for actually thinking and planning. Like since you always have a stronge start you would start and the B rider would do the last section to try and make up any loss positions that Randall lost because he spent to much time hugging a tree ( that last part got me chuckling). Waiting on Melvin and Randall to upload their section but those two are slacking off again. Thanks dude but honestly dont worry about watching my videos unless you enjoy watching grass grow. Stay safe

[@jacksmiththeboss]

Where was this at? I think a friend of mine was in it. He fell and got a cut that became infected. He's fine

[@SkinnySkinch]

WHAT IT IS GARAGE this was the north east 24 hour race in New York. Hope he’s okay it was a brutal race for sure.

[@jacksmiththeboss]

@@SkinnySkinch yeah he's fine. We are in NWPA. I'm sure this was probably the race he was telling me about.

[@jacksmiththeboss]

@@SkinnySkinchI just talked to him and this was the race he went to.

[@davemartini4136]

You really need to use your front brake more watching your right hand not a lot of braking it will help you a lot great riding hows your nuts

[@SkinnySkinch]

thanks for the tips man you are def right. still learning as I go but I never really practice outside of going to the races so all this stuff I learn I just blank out in the race. only my second season though so I still have a lot to learn. hhaa man my nuts got smashed. I had one of those trail map pocket things at the front of my seat with a big ass battery for my light bar inside it and my body got thrown forward into that battery pack took the wind right outa me

[@404marc]

Goldentyre Fatty's..Michelin Starcross for mud IMO. Play with pressures. And get a moisture meter.. then start recording the humidity, temp, moisture of soil to determine the right tires! Your a cyborg with the hole shots.

[@SkinnySkinch]

never tried the golden tire ill look into it. I did try a shinko fatty front tire once aren't they very similar?. this place would only have a few sections that star cross tire would shine in. all of the rocks and roots would be bad on it. a Kenda IBEX would have been ideal for everything but the super fast field sections. it would have been a one race tire but is what it is.

[@404marc]

@@SkinnySkinch IMO set up for single track. The trees keep everything damp leaves, branches etc. all slick, you know. And from what ive seen i think your faster on the single track. Ive heard bad about fatty's up front but always had them on rear. These bikes were set up for Colorado...always dry. I liked the golden ran them on 500exc and wr450 rear. Not sure if there similar to the Kenda. For damp NorthEast I want a great big fat grippy tire. I run mousses on back and tubes up front.

[@SkinnySkinch]

404marc interesting I actually just ordered a set of mousses I was thinking running in the front 100% to eliminate flats but still running tubliss in rear. My thought was I can still ride on 0psi in rear, but losing pressure up front will drastically slow me down. I may just run mousse in both an call it a day. Never thought I’d be a mousse guy honestly bc I love the tubliss. I’ve just noticed as I’m getting quicker I’m starting to have failures and punctures. Not sure if it’s just a coincidence or not.

[@404marc]

@@SkinnySkinch Ah could be rims for flats... who knows. I like having a real sticky front. One I could control for conditions and just "dealt' with the mousses rear. But you can drill out the mousses, kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGTMp6hno8d5iqM takes a couple tries, to get to your liking but once its on thats its it for a while...

[@404marc]

install mousses without machine. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jH-3qXpjiNOrg6s

[@soredickracing43v59]

Need the 505 cheater

[@SkinnySkinch]

thats what I ran man! it reallllllllly started slipping out on me. once the course dried up it started to do a lot better. but then by night fall the humidity left some dew on the ground which made things get slick again. I know for next year to bring many different types of tires

[@soredickracing43v59]

@@SkinnySkinch yeah I could see that. Mine worked great at harleywood!

[@SkinnySkinch]

Rusty Bridges same here I loved it at harleywood. Not sure maybe just the slippery rocks and grass is what made me think it didn’t do well here
