This is street trial riding. Why enduro??! Because of thé bike? You're kidding us...

At this rate, riding a long travel bike into a skatepark will be considered "enduro"... Oh wait, that's what he just did!

Its amazing to see riders who masered technique on trial bikes and then add some speed to all that bag of skills!
But oh god dont let enduro become a marketing term! (see freeride)

It's really surprising how easily the skills transfer over from trials bikes to mountain bikes once you have a sufficient amount of experience on both. That's the reason that many awesome videos like this and many of akrigg's videos are possible and look so cool on film.

Enduro Is about one bike to rule them all, so this is how it should be, only wish is that I was not too old to have that kind of level of trials skills, not that it is stopping me trying?

I wonder if he fell off the bridge @ 2.03 , it seemed to cut away pretty quick after he slowed right down. They showed almost every other trick to it's conclusion. If he didn't why not show that clip from further along until the dismount ?

This is what happens when you get a world class competition trials rider and force him to make videos that try to reach out to a wider audience. There's no style or flow anywhere in this video, just awkward trials riding on a bike that's holding him right back. He's no Akrigg. And it's less "enduro" than possibly any other video ever posted on pinkbike.

Stupid.
