 I'm barely ok at one thing and Brandon is at competetive to the highest degree in two ... that's pretty insane.
Also the slide show of the Brandon and the boys (mtb and rally) going to vegas is pretty funny !

 @vhdh666: in Dennis Enerson’s podcast, he mentioned that anytime his bmx crew ride with Semenuk, he seems to land lines first go/ before the legitimate bmx pros. Not sure if you saw that US congress meeting where those Air Force people said that there are ufos and non human biological matter that they’ve been hiding, but yeah. They were talking about Semenuk.

 Is it required for your rally navigator to be British?

 Side note... the last stage in Marquette is right next to some of the best riding in the midwest.

 Can't wait to go back to Marquette, the riding was awesome, but the hikes, camping, Lake Superior, and the little town all awesome too.

 The two absolute best sports. Hope Brandon comes to europe for a cut at the ERC or WRC. Would be so cool to see him compete here.
  • 2 0
 because I have no clue: how good/bad/competitive are the series amongst each other?
are WRC drivers much better than ERC or ARC?
  • 3 0
 @michaelheinrich: wrc is the highest level of competition, so the standard would definitely be better. Not to take it away from Brandon but I don’t think the American rally is a massive event. It’s been going for less than ten years

 You clearly have not tried pickleball

 @michaelheinrich: WRC Rally1 is the F1 of rallying - fastest cars and best drivers. ERC / WRC Rally2 is seen as the feeder series and are roughly the same level. ARA level would be lower again, but there's no reason why Brandon couldn't mix in a top20 in rally2 imo.

 Seems my INITIAL response was misunderstood. He is a force of nature. Rad getting to see the effort it requires, since the results can appear so effortless. Great video
