Id say he's still racing. If he had a bunch of money to waste he wouldn't have saved a tire that costs less than the rim he's rolling on.

If he was racing, WHY would he stop to remove the front wheel to get the tire off?
My vote is for more money than me.

Im now going to have to switch my theory to "He's had a shitty day on the mtn, and NOTHING else matters except getting to the bottom and getting a beer."
That's what I'm rollin with now.... Cuz I've had those days!

have you tried to go fast on a flat front tire. Its sketchy! The rim is abit easier to ride one not much, but better. Props

Hell, even a rear. Usually racers just cut em off and go, but I would have either saved the tire as well, or simply pushed off to the side and cheered with the crowd.

Ah. A race like the enduro of nations I think is a multi stage and day race. You`d have to keep going. Hopefully make up time at a stop or the next day. The racer did the right thing , threw that tire on a back up rim and lived to fight again. It would be hard to stay motivated with something like that though.

Crap, never even thought about it being a stage race! That makes sense. Just gotta get to the next stage and then go from there. I've never gotten to experience something like that. No racing here. Hence the reason I'm moving to the PNW on Monday!
And I dunno...seems like I have the most memorable fun when the fit hits the shan and your brain has to work it all out.
Stage race. All makes sense now.

So his determined enough or has enough cash to sacrifice a rim for a race, yet he's cheap enough to keep the tire and not leave it at the trail side...

A $50 rim might be worth it to him if he's still collecting points and not just going for a single race win.
If he was lazy he wouldn't have gone through the effort to remove and save the tire. I'd say he's still racing.
