Best quote of the whole video!

I was going to comment the exact opposite! No co-ordination or class in the logoing... just looks amateur. Mitch's Spesh kit is far nicer, more noticeable and ultimately cooler

Agree. I would imagine the guys with a DH background will do significantly better than the guys with an XC race background. Enduro seems to be definitely more slanted towards "gravity racing" rather than XC of monstrous proportions which is what is should really be to be an all round test.

You guys sum it up best :)

The route for big road races like the Tour De France is announced nearly a year in advance! It doesn't necessarily take anything away from the racing but forces you to make the most of the areas you know play to your strengths and limit your losses in areas of weakness. It is just a different dimension on strategy. If you want the fun dimension of doing an Enduro with no practice go for it! The fast guys will still beat us all :)

Who is concerned about the level of Enduro practice? Is there a lobby of racers desperately unhappy? The Enduro World series has to be economical to run and getting people in the area in advance is a great model. This is one series not every single Enduro event- I'm sure many "blind events" will continue to exist and thrive on a smaller scale...

How long are Gee's arms???!!!

"Decided" or was forcibly encouraged to for marketing potential :) Lopes would be fast on a unicycle

Quite surprised only 2 posters have woken up knowing what day it is today...

Very little of this subject is an exact science and although this is communicated during the video the vast amount of marketing and often patronising content of the videos (particularly the first) comes across more like over Americanized marketing than real "straight talking". Being cynical they should say "neck braces may work in certain situations and may even be worse for you in others and we try to keep improving them but replicating in-vivo loading and impact situations is impossible- nevertheless we do our best". I realise this message is in there but it is heavily hidden with the marketing and half explaining the testing/ science (I do appreciate that this will always be a tough balance for a PB video). :/
