Loved the details in the video. I'm on a EX250 GasGas (TPI + TSP head + ECU reflash - motor is awesome, it pulls forever!) but struggling with the suspension feeling planted enough to inspire confidence to push it hard, especially in the baby head rocks similar to the section you mentioned in the video. I like how you said your bike is a Swiss army knife, not perfect in all situations but excellent all around. I think I'm in the same boat and need to just continue getting seat time!

6:22. 😂 Love your commitment to clean language. Despite having ridiculous amounts of fun racing, I cannot seem to avoid dropping curse bombs about every 2 minutes.

I'm so hyped for this race - first time this year and it looks like conditions are going to be similar to 22 and not 23. I ride down in mccain valley 2-4 times a month so I really am pumped to get some similar terrain in an enduro! Thanks for posting I will do my part and record some sections this year too.

I’m looking at the xc range from ktm I’m roughly 130 fully geared like to ride fast hare scramble type events. Why the 250 over the 300? I love the power of the new 300s I’m curious why 250 over the 300

1:50 love the commitment 😂 great riding!

You certainly have a wide variety of terrain up there, I'm jealous! Great ride.

Looks like it would be great riding after some moisture.

This is so awesome thanks for posting this! I’m hitting this race tomorrow with my brother. Good job on the race, dude.

Finally someone who can actually ride a bike! I have been searching for a vid on this bike and every muppet with a go pro is trying to tell me about it. Waste of time. All I want to see is the bike getting pushed. My wife thanks you as she was getting sick of me screaming at muppets to open the fucken thing up. Having watched this I want the 250 not the 300. Cheers! P.S The ground looks risky as fuck to go full send on. I get why you were being careful so to would I.

How much slower was it to take the bypass?

Why a 500 instead of the typical 350?

How’s the shoulder

Skyline?

Mike do you typically run the black throttle cam or grey on your 250?

Really enjoy your uploads Mike!

Great ride Mike, wish I had your restraint, what a jackwagon, takes you out along with the course markers and then himself. Stellar

28:03 WTF with 17C Matt Garcia taking both the course markers and you out for what, an additional 1-2 seconds? You held it together far better than i would have. You're a far better man than me. Great ride as always!

Very cool ! Wish I could have taken my 23 XC to do one of these events ! Maybe one day I’ll travel to the US and give one of these a try.

I’ve been waiting for these videos…thanks for posting them! DJ

nice work! Had bruised rib so I couldn't make it out this time.

Great race! Didn’t get a chance to meet up with you guys, super fun course this year

What happened to one start? Everyone goes together. Think maybe some experts are afraid of getting beat by a novice.🙄

Good to see you back Mike!👊

Awesome flick and great riding! Thanks again for coming out. Hope you liked the course.

Love watching you fly on that 250! Inspiration to us all! Looked up the results and impressed with how many guys are in your class, all rippers!

What class and row did you start in?

Good to see you back Mike! Hope you're all healed up! DJ

Looks like a blast!

It looks like the XC has a stiffer suspension

Hahahha screamed like a girl!

After binge-watching the whole 10-part series, I was at the end as emotional with joy as if I had been part of the trip. This is just crazy. Besides the probably more frequent wheelies than Chris Burch performs, the incredible riding skills and the dedication to accomplish the TOI, I was struck by the extremely positive and humbled mindset. So well done guys!

Are you running 60:1 at these desert speeds or richer? Any mapping done? Thanks. Cool and informative vids👍

Mike these are great videos. It looks like you and your buddies had an awesome adventure. I’m very curious about your radio set up a couple of buddies and myself are about to take a big ride and we’re discussing options. What did you guys run? And how did you do it?

Best video I’ve seen for the Tour of Idaho. I want to do this so badly. Question… I did t see a chainsaw on any of the bikes. I thought that was a requirement?

Great reviews! I watched all of them while waiting for my bike to arrive and current Ride with the Knights subscriber. Curious what you're running for fork pressure. I'm 53, B-level, and 195 w/o gear. I'm running 132-138 depending on terrain. Struggling to really get it dialed. Thanks for the great content.

I feel like it’s rare to see the 250s out there nowadays; I hope to ride half as fast as you one day! Ha

Remember that one day Mike monstertrucked a guy lol! It was my first race on two wheels... The wr250r didn't handle the whoops at all! lol P57 in open 35+ novice. 2nd in my group of 4 older dudes is pretty cool on a bone stock bike. you killed it out there! Fast for being "rusty"

Just watched this series day 1-10 awesome job awesome video amazing accomplishment.

This looks like a blast! I live in Texas and we have nothing like that here. I race in a cross country club that has races on seven to eight mile loops, its fun but im always wanting to ride in other states like Utah! Were you able to practice this loop?

It was awesome battling with you I was #256 on the yz

Great White Rhino siting @ 44:10. Awesome footage as always Mike. Thank you

It looked like you had a hell of a race after you ran over that dude...LOL I wish I could have tried a desert race in my younger days! Dale

Great ride Mike! Lot of fun passing so many riders. How is Josh doing these days? So far as I checked doesn't look like he rode this one. All the best!

What bike is that? Obvious a KTM. Is it a 350? 450? 500? XC? XF?

Riding pretty well Mike!

I think i would have got lost and made my own trail:) I sure like how that KTM pulls through. very strong bike. When i wathced the video i was like, stop cleaning your visor i can't see which way your going. freaked me out

Sweet! What do you have zip tied to your bar pad? I ride mostly woods/mountains . Do you make your forks fairly stiff for dez racing?

Thanks for sharing the gopro footage. This was a fun one.

Nice riding, and glad to see you back on the bike! Looked like fun, wish I could have made it!

Great ride Mike!
