MX or MTB: Ethan Nell Will Still Send It - Video

Jun 30, 2017
by Red Bull Bike  

After growing up riding dirt bikes, the St. George, Utah, native Ethan Nell took to mountain bikes in his late teens. “I raced a bit of motocross when I was probably 15 to 17, then got into mountain bikes,” Nell explains. “Now I’m kind of cruising both.”

With endless trails and the home of Red Bull Rampage just a stone's throw from his home, there’s no shortage of spots for him to session on the daily. Spend a day in the desert with Nell in the video above, where from the looks of it, he’s doing a little more than just “cruising.”

 This guy needs a wildcard invite to Rampage - he was an alternate last year. Give the locals a shot!

 Ethan is a complete madman and has the skills to compete no problem. Other than kicking out potentially another deserving rider, I agree wholly.

 Less racers (metailler, van steenberghen) and more freeriders (nell, tupin)

 Amen to that last sentence. Wish I could afford both. Ha Sold my moto to get more into mtn.

 @otto99 Work hard and you'll be able to live the dream in your twenties and beyond.

I bought my mx bike on my 25th birthday, the one I wanted for years growing up. I spent my teens and college riding bikes because that's what was available, and developed a passion for bikes in the process. I get smoked by teens all the time, but who cares? Last summer I did a hare scramble at Washougal, and was so giddy the night before I couldn't sleep. I was about to ride the track I'd been playing in video games since I was a little kid! You only get that kind of excitement after years of anticipation. I still got my ass handed to me, but I had the biggest grin the whole time. Which is more important?

My point is there's nothing to be gained through envy, don't let it spoil your ability to enjoy these sports with whatever equipment you have.
