This is by far my favourite biking related video series

The women killed it last year, can't wait to see them progress so quickly at this event again. One of, if not the best event out there!!

Sounds more like after back to back testing the Intense HP6 was faster/easier to ride/more confidence inspiring/rider preferred than the HP4. With the huge and funny shaped shroud on the prototype Specialized I wouldn't put money on it being simpler than the current bike at all.

Given that they talk a bit around it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcPMe_0_UYs it may be at a more public / media friendly point in development. Sounds like Richie Rude has been running it for a race or longer? I'm not going to go through all the Enduro pit images I can find but it sounds like it may have been infront of everyone for a while.

Yeah, learning to roll is a great skill. I did Judo as a kid and in my time have had some big spills where I popped back to my feet feeling fine when I should have been walking away with a broken bone. (It also gives a great sense of balance which is also underappreciated) There is a reason in other sports like rugby why they focus on not just learning to tackle someone but learning to be tackled, it reduces injury. I think as a kid learning martial art or gymnastics should be right up there with learning to swim as a life skill.

I love that strut on the chain stay by the lower pivot
