Racing 24 Hours Without Training?! Am I Nuts?!

This was the Glen Helen 24 Hour Endurance Race in October of 2021. I teamed up with Rocky Mountain ATV/MC for yet another budget bike challenge. This one was a $1500 budget to race 24 hours! Check out their video series here: • $1500 Dirt Bikes Race ...

THE CEO OF KTM i had to rewind to that, brilliant.

[@chadkschmidt496]

Same here haha!

[@randylahey5623]

SAME! Fuckin' gold. Lol

[@JYTherapy]

Yes, I ROFLD

[@jameslockmann6873]

had me cracking up

[@phild9813]

I like Kyle, but I couldn’t help but LOL big time. LOL

[@morley3810]

I remember in the past you have touched on some of the health challenges you have overcome with diet/exercise etc. I can't speak for all obviously, but I am interested in learning more about that and would definitely watch any content you make on that topic. Thanks for sharing your angle of this race, it looks like it was a great time!

[@pathurley354]

Yep I am interested as well. I started riding dirt bikes because of Gabe's videos and I want to do the 6 hour (Ironman) this spring. Knowing what he did to prepare could be incredibly helpful.

[@dylkelley]

Same

[@vegardberve]

I personally would LOVE a deep dive into all the stuff you mentioned about fitness, diet and general lifestyle! I think maybe your general audience is a little bit different than the rest of dirt-bike-youtube (aka CEO of KTM and the likes.... Hahaha!), we dont care as much about the latest fuel injected four stroke with a 1700 dollar titanium exhaust, and would rather know how the heck you survived iron man'ing that DR200. Remember, we loooove KTM tears xD

[@matteussvensson4878]

Yes!! I would love to hear what you did to be fit, really looking forward to it!

[@kenwolfe5697]

Keep the race content coming but I’m down to watch a series about your health and exercise routine. Keep going my man. We’re all rooting for you

[@johnchafin3817]

Look forward to your content on how you train and prepare.

[@Scoots1994]

I saw that series coming on RMs channel and I hoped you'd be in it! Don't question what you should put on your channel and what people want to consume or not. Put out what you want to put out and what you enjoy and it will translate in the result. Remember that ANY day on a bike off-road, no matter how tiring, that you get to go home from (and not to a hospital) is a good day!

[@cj4ebay]

I love that you give these old bikes a new lease on life and prove you don't need a $10k dirt bike to win races and have a good time.

[@KoltFin]

Soon as I heard that KTM'S biggest share holder was supposed to race a budget bike i said not on their life. 😂

[@TwistedTriggerEnduro]

Your video and story is eye opening. I'm pretty new to riding and just doing enduro type trails at the moment. I can't even imagine how much energy and strength it'd take to race. I care about health and everyone who doesn't currently race should be interested. Much respect!! 🔥💪

[@algee8228]

Cool! Really looking forward to the health/fitness stuff. For me its not for competitive reasons, but just so I can keep riding as I get older.

[@TortureTestMagazine]

I keep meaning to get around to posting about it, but there's always something more exciting to talk about lol! Soon!

[@johnpagejr.7628]

Hi Gabe! I have never raced and don't want to start at age 70 but have been watching both channels and loving every minute of it. I think you sharing about your way of staying fit and healthy would be great. I am working on all of that myself write now because I want to keep ridding as long as I can. I just got a new CRF300L Rally to replace my NC700X because it is to heavy for me to pick up. I like to adventure ride and would like to do some of the Back Country Discovery route's. I really like Rocky Mountain and have been following your channel since I found you on EveRides channel. I love what you do.

[@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr]

Looking forward to a video on how you get back to race shape! Preparing a bike for the race is common sense, we all do it. But, too often, we don’t prepare ourselves. Thanks for this intro to the Rocky Mtn series.

[@bodesbodes9408]

I'M HAPPY TO BE HERE!!! *I'M HAPPY TO BE HERE!!!*

[@that1strangeguy]

Rad video! I definitely feel your pain on being out of shape doing this race haha. My first 24 I was not prepared. You’re a mad man, keep up the killer content

[@Wyrmidion]

loved watching all the content from the race-series, and now this summary from you, really fills in the picture :D looking forward to your training/health tips, but i'm gonna guess the super-ADD attentionspan thing may kick in for some, so maybe very condensed content? the riding clips are great as always :) keep it up !

[@jeremybanks2326]

Your my favorite content creator.. out of quite a few other channels.. Your a Badass bro and I respect your resolve and of course your ideas .. Love it 😀

[@hannesleijowall5727]

Your videos are great! Love em! Intreseted in the fitness information your sitting on!

[@anthonyottinger2594]

"And we were planning on accomplishing that by riding the dirtbike really fast." How do you make the simplest concepts hilarious bro 😂

[@KestrelYI]

Great story! Loved the RMATV series on this rate and was super happy to see you'd posted your feedback on it. Thanks!

[@vagabondroller]

Dude, I watch a crapload of YT, 4 plus hours a day for probably 7 years now. This is absolutely the most underrated channel I have seen. If your arm is fucked, maybe start working towards Trophy Truck racing or something. You are too much of a badass to lead a normal 9-5 existence so whatever you do, don’t fall into that B.S,

[@EnjoySoy]

You're a legend, Gabe. Great video.

[@guest12ify]

Really enjoyed your health and diet videos in the past. Would love to see more of that as someone who also enjoys being "unhealthy" but wants to ride dirtbikes when possible and do that without feeling beat.

[@randylahey5623]

As someone who rides but also lives in a truck camper, I find it hard to train anywhere. I would also really enjoy seeing your workout routine.

[@totkop2156]

CEO of ktm 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@njmxjunkie3128]

LMFAO THE CEO OF KTM…….. man do people including Myself dislike That guy

[@pathurley354]

Yeah when I watched the Rocky Mountain series almost left when I saw the CEO was racing. How can you do bike reviews when you only spend 10 hours riding the bike before you unload it?

[@coltonowens2742]

What's wrong with Kyle? My brother used to work with him, and he's a plenty nice guy.

[@njmxjunkie3128]

@@coltonowens2742 there’s nothing wrong with him as a human. I don’t know him well enough to say that. I shouldn’t have worded it the way I did. Kyle is a great dad from what I see in his videos,and probably a good dude all around. He’s just a spoiled Ktm riding b**ch. granted he has the opportunity and money to do so, so I understand to a point but he only rides brand new tricked bikes and only rides the cleanest nicest most pristine easy trails that look good on camera. You’ll never catch that man riding open trails that people know about, you’ll never catch him in anything but the most expensive gear available, theirs a certain breed of people that ride Ktm/husky/gas gas. Honestly those bikes could be awesome fun fast amazing bikes but due to the stereotype of people that ride them most “real” riders would never ever own one. Before you Make your “your just Jealous” assumption, know I have 2 really nice bikes. 2021 kx250 and 2017 crf450r that’s my baby. I also have a near mint 1998 yz400f and a couple quads. Most guys who truly love riding will ride anything, anywhere at any time. Riding is a lifestyle, not a fun little hobby for me and many others. I will have just as much fun on a clapped out 1995 wr250 as I will a brand new bike of choice. We’d be just as happy to ride it, just as proud to ride it, just as passionate on it as any other bike. I still watch his videos, I still respect his work on his content it’s just seeing him bail on the race, hearing him talk on livestream (his lack of knowledge about any other bikes besides Ktm) his spoiled attitude and lack of humility, that kind of stuff just drew me away from liking him

[@njmxjunkie3128]

@@pathurley354 right???

[@coltonowens2742]

@@njmxjunkie3128 No man I get were your coming from. I currently ride a Kawasaki, but will be adding a Beta 250rr because I really want to experience a modern two stroke trail machine. I will always be a lover of Japanese Dirtbikes first and foremost though. There is a factor with Japanese bikes that just feels more raw, and you always see people doing insane shit on clapped out Japanese bikes, (Gabes a prime example). When I watch Kyle's channel, Is defiantly hard to see all the KTM in your face, but in his own words KTM makes bikes for him so he rides them. Speaking of that YZ400f, I really want to ride one of those. I've been on a 2019 450 Honda, but that thing was to much for me lol. Really wanna try that 400 though. I've heard those YZ's are so smooth, and I see allot of people wish that were still made today. That's a nice bunch of bikes you've got to.

[@BobRossAdventures]

coming from someone who used to ride 60+ miles without stopping i was thinking it was just the upgrade to the 450fx but like what you explained in here makes perfect sense about how ive been feeling since my accident/recovery 5 years ago.... just can seem to shake back on endurance if by any chance you plan to post how it works for you ill def try never know but id appreciate it im sure others would too :D

[@lucaspeden3727]

Everything you described is exactly how I felt at the 6 and 10 hour (6 hour was way worse). I’m definitely interested in hearing your insights on the fitness and health aspect… Matt and I want to try and Ironman the 6 next year!

[@sampson7941]

Mind over matter. If you dont mind it wont matter. Anyway, i believe you put out the best dirtbike content on the tube or anywhere. Hands down.

Great video, I've been a huge fan of the channel for a long time now. I'm wondering what your current view is on knee braces versus knee guards.

[@ra1ny26]

I can’t tell if I missed it in the video or it didn’t even get mentioned at all but what’s the permanent injury you got?

[@TortureTestMagazine]

I should probably make a good explanation on the issue. It's "tendinopathy" in my left elbow. Basically just repetitive damage that didn't get to heal, and now makes my elbow weak and painful. It's getting better very slowly because I've been taking care of it, but when I ride for long durations it comes back. Not sure if the ironman thing will be possible again but I'm not counting it out at this point, while at the same time just being grateful and totally content with the ability to even ride at all!

[@TortureTestMagazine]

Same here! 11 years ago, never got it repaired, still sticks out. Hurts in a weird way and causes weird bruising under the skin because it scrapes if there's pressure on it, but it doesn't affect my movement so I just ignore it. It's my least bothersome injury lol

[@jimbo4203]

It's a great bike that i trail rode all over the hills of Tennessee. Make sure the reed valves are good, vforce or boyesen work good, if you can ,put on the heaviest flywheel you can get on it ,that will really pick up the power on the low end and make it almost stall proof . A fmf pipe and power core 2 muffler and you'll have one fast yz for sure !

@@jimbo4203 the low end torque is not much but I put a 13 sprocket it have a fmf powercore and and a steel pipe but I don't know what brand it is it don't say the reed valve is not changes I have clean the front suspension it's ok not the best the previous owner but the rear suspension from a yzf 426 its a light bike the handling are good the only problem is on high speed the and on Rock trails the steering are not stable I think its need a Stabilisator and another problem is the don't give energy to the for the light idk what the problem is
