8-Minutes of Ratcam From The Andes Pacifico Enduro - Video

 Ratboy: Accomplished MTB athlete *and* Soundclash MC at once.

 @Mojo348: With Raboy on your tail you'll ride like you never thought possible! dude this is f*ckin awesome - Ratboy is the shit

 Download as audio file, put on headphones, play on repeat while riding.

Results in either A. fastest times ever, B. destroyed ankle (because that seems to be the way of Rat and friends), C. Both...probably both.

 Also, how Santa Cruz has not created a bobble head of Rat that says "ye boooiii!" is beyond me.

Missing some marketing gold there.

 best thing is you couldn't understand him but you don't need to understand what he's saying but only be excited that someone is yelling something

 Yeah, if Ratboy was riding behind me the first thing I'd hear from him is "Gunna pass you on your left!" haha

But If he was following behind me just to cheer me on his comments would be more like "Hurry up!, Pedal harder!, "C'mon slow poke!"

 

 Yeah, but he also gains time by Krunk going all out on the flatter parts; Rat has no choice but to hang in there and mash the pedals!

 Don't be fooled, Krunk is pinned!

 @mi-bike: I was cool to hear these guys chat about their different styles while watching this after the race. Josh said Krunk was always smashing the pedals and pulling away, but then Josh would more or less coast and catch back up. Carrying more speed with less energy even though slower in the transitional bits. More corner speed v. more horsepower and you come out very similar at the end. It's also far easier in a blind race to be the guy in the back as you can react to what the guy in front is doing, and if riders are of similar ability the guy in the back is always faster. Especially on a trial like the one here where you had enough speed to draft a bit.

 @davetrumpore: well said dave! the following rider can see a mistake happening and prepare to not make that mistake

 Dont want to take anything away from Josh but its just way easier to follow someone than it is to drop someone.

 @mirskeinereingefalln: Josh was however sitting 3rd in the whole event after almost three days until a huge mechanical took him out of the running... Safe to say he's trying harder at having fun here than trying to be the fastest.

 And it’s that simple fact alone that I love Josh......That he tries to have more fun than trying to be the fastest.

 I'd quit downhill for this any day.......sick!

 Me too!

 perfectly put. wicked talent

 I think Rat had a mechanical in an earlier stage and was out of the overall reckoning so he was just riding for fun

 Once he was out if the running by a few minutes due to mechanical troubles the focus was in fun. Actually the focus is always fun, so I guess it changed to more fun, or sharing that fun with all of us through videos like this

 Because chip timing. Definitely the funnest way to race.

 Duh.. It was on the title... Awesome riding!
