While most of New England hunkers down for Hurricane Henri, the Maxxis ESC series headed back to New Hampshire to race at a brand new venue. Claremont's Arrowhead Recreation Area may not be on most people's radars, but after this weekend we can confirm that it has the goods. Steep, loamy trails wind their way down the 500' vertical hillside nestled in the Granite State's Monadnock region. The excitement was high all around, with racers commenting how much fun they had riding the trails and the Claremont town officials were on hand to check out this world-class event. Racers battled six loose stages in hopes to secure their trip to next year's Enduro World Series rounds and it was two youngsters who took the Pro class wins.

A kind request to the video editing department to switch up the soundtrack.... the early 2000's scream rock is killing my ears
