I heard the trials event was in the vote lead when you went to bed and then 139,00 votes came in for the sprint enduro overnight 🤣

[@superwilcox9026]

It was Russian collusion

[@aclay4774]

Biden for Ret@rd 2020

[@numbzinger350]

Best damn post I've read in a while. Bravo!

[@smidge1872]

Well played

[@A1soldiersaint]

there were several boxes of ballots that came in on a sprint enduro truck. mmmhmmm.

[@robertrollins1799]

Zach please do a long term review on your beta with Tom and what y’all have done to them thank love 😍 the videos keep it up

[@slaytonMX]

Hi, I would love to see a hand guard vid lol and Mabye even move videos about your bike, bike part, etc :)

[@endurokinda1097]

I’ll watch enduro and hare scramble every time!

[@davidkay1386]

This looked awesome. High speed and crazy turns. Nice break from hard enduro.

[@johnjames3984]

Z, your riding riding, editing, and commentary are excellent. Thanks for sharing!

[@godmangodman9453]

Still getting use to the new camera set up , I think I prefer the old shaky view but no complaints from me . Excellent racing Zach keep it up !

[@waltsprenkle3076]

Zach ,know one can ever match you with YOUR GIFT OF GAB in your videos. Im 65 ,in great shape because of my demanding occupation of ARBORIST work and having faced huge life changes I decided to buy a 2019 KTM 500 EXC F . Watching 👀 your videos at every chance has inspired my desire to buy a KTM 250 xc w and I bought all the serious protective gear for the 500 , but it has to much power and weighs ? 300 # with all the aftermarket . The issue of finding a new bike plus my son rides the CR 250 L SO HE MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE TERRAIN. YOU KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK GUY!

[@cwmotovlogs5929]

I’ve been waiting for a new vid so long!!! YOU ARE THE BEST ZACH AND ALSO FROM 2017 after you went to Durhamtown. HOLY NUTSACK!!! XD your awesome dude!

[@kevfinn8232]

New to your channel... I do love watching these free flowing trails, you make it look so easy. But a big thumbs up for being so polite to slower riders, very rare from faster riders here in the UK.

[@albertsmith6717]

That third section in the flowy woods is like the single track mtb trails I ride all the time. Good video.

[@vitiate111]

Great vid! Keep them coming!

[@dangson1183]

This is better than the Billy Goat races you do !

[@bradmaesai6180]

Have to say ' That was one of the best rides i have seen you do ' Well Done Zach.

[@schlottsseafood8781]

Good job overcoming the brakes! You were dialed in on this scramble!

[@westover9218]

Great video as always well done always makes my day a little better

[@barrymccarter2276]

Great video, really enjoy your stuff!!!

[@premixpeter1972]

Nice riding Zach, looking faster than ever on that Beta. The bike definitely seems to suit you well!

[@alexdunscombe8073]

That Beta is giving you some confidence, flowing good. 👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺 Love it.

[@collinkuhns233]

Hey Zach love your videos I watch every single one, keep riding good

[@craigsteinman9807]

That was a feeling good about the situation leg whip for sure..been there myself ZACK..great video man

[@moonzy11]

That was awesome. great vids

[@lyndonewright330]

Good job you were hauling it love these videos I really enjoy your channel

[@quadintheuk8870]

Wow Zach That’s was crazy fast 💨 One mistake and it could have been pin ball time !! Brilliant buddy 🔥🔥🤘

[@777dirtfams2]

Bro your skills has come a long way since your earlier footages good stuff man wel done. Given you shout outs all the way from NEW ZEALAND 🇳🇿 keep it up👏👏 love your videos kia kaha e hoa

[@danistheman9055]

That corse was tip top! Wicked riding as always!

[@peekingtom8337]

I love the open handgaurds I just got me a set like that after running the wrap arounds all my life, not only to they give you more clearance but if you actually tag a tree that rebound they have makes it way easier to bounce back quickly, the wrap around guards will change your direction if u clip a tree

[@jcsquared1111]

Really love all your videos. Bought a 2021 beta rr 250 and love it!! Still have nkt fully broken her in so still have yet to open her up but dying to lol.

[@nickbible1134]

Been here since you were a kid and your getting hella fast Zach keep it up

[@catmanflorida8545]

WOW, you guys were really ripping. Those sprints are a faster pace than the hard enduros, lol Congrads on the place.

[@mblazer11]

Best vid I’ve seen all day

[@woweeoi11]

Also would love to see a video with Adam and yourself recapping the hard enduro season!

[@tythomas1832]

Wow! What a sweet looking course. Nice ride too!

[@freshsmoothie1463]

Trials is cool to watch !

[@tylerpreston95]

Enjoying the videos man!

[@canblueFz1]

I tried the EBC X series pads for my 300RR this year. A little less grabby so it doesn't just lock up the rear and takes a bit to get used to them. Wouldn't use them for the front though. Great vid ... keep'm coming!

[@rglce25]

Favorite race vids of any you tuber

[@JamesStevens013]

Those are some pure sweet trails dude

[@tonyv7660]

Nice trails there Zach! Nothing like that down state in D34.

[@dominickmorse59]

I need to come to this round next year !

[@kylehardley]

Some awesome looking single track 🤩

[@davidracing3602]

If you can get ahold of one try a washougal 2 sticky. Amazing all around tire

[@fprintf]

I'm watching this to get psyched up for a poker run event in the woods tomorrow, will be a speed on my trials bike for all the go-fast guys. But at least i'll be able to do the logs and rocks easily!

[@smidge1872]

Granted I've had a rip of the hippy lettuce and I'm currently enjoying a beer and a whisky but you frickin crack me up

[@evans4983]

Hey zack! Try putting your watch around your bar and brake line. Made it easier for me to see and it doesn’t spin when your bar pad does

[@redneckracing556]

this is by far the best video yet in my opinion would love to have rode the track. but overall I feel sorry for you since you live in New York.

[@bannor_murphy369]

After my mate broke forearm when he went over bars with bark busters I use open guards 😁

[@markmtbrider]

Got a video, a darn good video for y'all tonight.

[@mountainmonkey172]

Sintered brake pads squeak like crazy when your ripping and using the brakes hard. Just means your riding aggresive, those pads work great when hot. 🤙

[@AV-cz4yb]

On the podium!!

[@tomnooney6882]

Hey Zach, great videos. I've been watching for about a year. Just got a new 150xc w, may be my last new bike, turning 58 in a couple weeks. great bike for the tight & somewhat techy riding here in Hawaii. It's been a couple weeks, how about some new videos? i remember you saying you have lots of footage. We used to have Hare & Hounds & Poker runs here on Maui. They run a pretty hard enduro race on Kauai on labor Day weekend for over 60 yrs. now. Over 100 entries & maybe 15 -20 finishers.

[@adamdyment9732]

Come to the PNW and race. We don’t really have any enduros tho... well a few. But if you came and raced maybe we’d get a few more. My kids would love to come cheer you on

[@dirtbikefooligans6019]

Ngl I’m not new at biking but the sound of the brakes might help me inprove👍🏼

[@marcusmeeks3235]

I swear they grab harder when they start squeaking.

[@JamesStevens013]

😁

[@stonedeadoutdoors189]

Are you going to try out the new full tilt sprint enduro series first race is at broome tioga may 9th

[@Toad_Moto]

I like to ride but I love to ride vicariously through Zack.

[@AJxrr]

"we cant let an enviromentalist see that" lol great video. looks like a killer event

[@GeertTheys]

Like open hand guards too. But I have bruised my hands on several occasions :d

[@konnerbarlow932]

Man I wanna race someday

[@johnnyjohnson2942]

I knew i was haullin when my knee brace started squiking.LOL

[@adrianphillips2247]

He has 100% got way better since I saw him a while back

[@mikemallory8892]

Its the KTM brake squeak!

[@tylerpreston95]

Zach! I’ll take you up on editing some of your footage!

[@axismiracle521]

It would be amazing if you could have a small read out of what gear you are in!!

[@glennalderton1313]

Barkbusters add a little bit of width but they also don't forgive when you tap a tree. Hit hard enough and they cause the bars to flick and down you go - or maybe into the next 3, 4 trees. But, at least you don't break you fingers or levers. Catch-22.

[@EinSteinerEnduro]

Please do a video on open vs wraparound handguards!

[@numbzinger350]

Yes, please do. Inquiring minds want to know!

[@martiall6600]

You should Do more trials videos

[@robbiedavidson793]

Love the vids

[@paulmcauliffe8857]

So, now that your RR300 is set up and you're used to it, do you think it's as good or better than KTM?

[@robertsharrock188s]

Get Adam on more. And a rear camera with anti shake in hard enduro would be cool for hill climbs and others crashing or chasing.

[@Outdoorjunkie246]

I love the part at 2:08

[@hamiam2243]

The tire for sure, definitely the brakes, absolutely shorter bars ,you should’ve went to the trials event. Good job though.😀

[@BaronBoar]

We don't have these kinds of races where I live. Which I would love to do. I would be in my element.

[@elijahh.6834]

Can you do a video on what you wear during a race? TIA

[@xlrfiji476]

Hey @zachatk1 are you doing sumpter NEPG this year. I’ve done it the past 3 years and it’s so much fun.

[@RIPPERTON]

I just use Pro Brake Squeak for my rear disc

[@TD-zx7kf]

You are fast. I am also interested in what class you run, age, how to find the best places to practice, your bike, etc. It has been since 2004 since I raced and I hit a tree on my last race that ended the racing. Getting interested in trails again though. I live in Columbus, Ohio so any help from anyone would be wonderful.

[@the7thprezz]

Do you have the hero 9 now? Does the battery seem to last longer

[@Shultzchet]

I ride mostly open desert and have only done tight woods riding once or twice and when I did I had full wrap around aluminum handguards and im glad I did because I full on smacked a tree and bounced off to the other side of the trail and hit another, if I didn't have them I would have probably broke my hand or at least a few fingers. That was on my dads hand-me-down 2003 450 that he raced the old timekeeper enduros on and put the handguards to not break levers on rocks. Now I have a 2019 350 exc and it has open handguards and so far I've only bent one lever but it was only the very end of the brake lever and it put a little hook on the end wich I found to be quite ergonomic. I haven't crashed too hard on the bike yet and I've gotten good and stepping off the bike or stopping in sticky situations where in the past I would have given it more throttle and the bike would have ended up upside down ten feet away. If I crash hard it will be in an open whoop section or chatter bumps, because the exc suspension shines in the tech stuff but high speed it starts to get unstable in chatter bumps at around 50, and it has limited success in massive desert whoops. I can do pretty good in the whoops now that I'm used to the setup and im catching people in the high speed chatter bumps but last race I was having some pretty good head shake, and its wierd how it is so fucking scary but absolutely exciting when you are racing at the limit and passing people nearly avoiding a nasty crash.

[@Dbars19]

if i had places to ride like this id be the best in the world.....

[@gearhigher2027]

@zackatk1 what front tug strap are you using on the Beta?

[@tomqueenstown4053]

Hey how do you manage to get your gopro to last so long??? I can watch my battery level drop

[@isaacbeachem8210]

Opinion on the shinko 525?

[@aidanhess5864]

no views but 11 likes makes sense.

[@PennsylvaniaDualSport]

Spray some SC1 on those rotors.. you won’t have to worry about brake squeak anymore 😉

[@connorallen5150]

I've noticed that open hand guards slide off trees while wrap around make you bounce a whole lot more

[@northeastiowariders6668]

yeah that makes sense. both are better than slamming your hand against the tree, that hurts

[@roberthaberman9491]

I didn't realize how much back brake you faster guys use. Maybe that's why I'm so slow.

[@CommieHunter7]

Sometimes, I also pass people then blow the corner right after.

[@hallbrothersracing3323]

Over night shipping 😂😂😂😂😂

[@johnnyjohnson2942]

How can u wait, when ur min comes up?

[@woweeoi11]

Talk about hauling bologna sandwiches!

[@ridingwithcayden1314]

What bike are you using in this video Zach

[@corbingee466]

You should make some tug straps I would love to buy some

[@jerryvlogs589]

hey zack what camera is that

[@tylerschaeffer9655]

How hard are the spirt enduro

[@Motortexan]

just started following you on KZbin and here. Question is I am a Older rider"47"living in texas. I am wanting to get into enduro /hare scrambles in the texas/ Louisiana area. I am about to buy a 2017 yz250f stock bike. I am getting a good deal on the bike. Very low hours. My thought is to buy all the add-on's pegs,barkbusters,exhaust,and numerous protective items. Is this smart or should I just buy a newer bike. my thoughts is that I would get a lot more bang for the buck , picking my own stuff. Then buy one of the computers and setup the bike for trail instead of MX riding.thank you in andvance

[@austinfrank6378]

My little experience with closed off bark busters.. for me it was just a bigger chance of eating shit. Open are flexible, yes if you hit hard enough it hurts the fingers but it’s not catching and bucking you off every time

[@dropbear9526]

You said you were thinking about getting a small bore 2T. You could change that 3rd for a 1st if you got yourself a TM144en. Go on, get a small bore. You know you want to Save that 300cc POS for what It's best at, going slow over stupid shit. AKA hard enduro. Your clutch and braking technique will improve on the 300cc if you ride a small bore 2T. Plus, more fun for us to watch. Everyone will be happy-er. If you haven't already got one. Consider a rear brake ressy extension.

[@cab0t023]

Zack I what to see you try to do motocross by the way it’s fine if you post old video I broke my ankle riding and all I do is watch videos.

[@daybot9592]

Can you do bike maintenance video and cleaning ur bike video?
