Dramatic yes but by far the best series about enduro racing. Lets face it its not a race format that lends itself well to TV like DH is.
Really hoping for a season 2 ... With longer episodes
That episode was something else. It really got to me.
Yhea, it might be corny but really, if you ever have puf blood sweat and tears in racing your bike, you gotta feel it too.
Cheers,
Love this series and the l racers of ews
I really enjoyed these series of videos featuring some of the worlds best mountain bike athletes. Some may find it a little dramatic or a little cheesy but personally I find it motivating and inspirational. I myself have raced DH for most of my mountain bike career but have made the transition over to Enduro, All-mountain, Super D styles of racing. No matter your opinion, these styles of races are so physically and mentally demanding above and beyond what most people can understand. Anyone who races period knows that you can only describe or justify this feeling to a fellow rider because the rest just won't get it, we are truly the 1%ers for lack of better terms. World Cup DH racing in comparison is like Formula 1 auto racing and it will forever be my roots and in my heart but eventually you reach a stage in your athletic career and in your life that forces you to make adjustments and therefore I am appreciative of the new disciplines of racing that allows anyone from the competitive to the weekend warrior to test their physical and mental ceiling. The ultimate test of one's potential. Safe off season to all.
I do not understand why a big brand like Specialized (best selling bike Enduro in France) only two drivers: Curtis and Anneke. Small companies like Canyon, Devinci have more pilots in World Cup Enduro...
the unfortunate part of moutain biking is that video often times doesnt really translate the difficulty/speed/ or narlyness of the riding.World cup down hill looks fast as hell, but unfortunatly because enduro racing is generally a little bit less "balls to the wall" intense, it simply doesnt look as fast as it is. And therefore is more difficult to really appreciate.
Such a cool series! Major replay value in these episodes. I don't think I've ever said "thanks for providing this free content" before, so it's probably time. Thanks Red Bull et. al.
“Riding a bike sits somewhere between a method of transportation, a sport, and an obsession” - so sick! I thoroughly enjoyed these episodes! Well played, Red Bull.
