- I dropped into Big Creek during the Friday race at Silver Kings to join the chaos. Riders were everywhere! Everyone battled their way through and had a great time.

Max has the best job in 2 wheels! Nice job Max, and thank you for bringing us all the footage! Cheers 🍻 from
Tennessee
Hell yeah Andy. Cheers
Just want to say thanks for all the hard work you put into these POV videos for us Hard Enduro enthusiasts. It cant be easy riding through that shit and commentating at the same time
Abssolutely! Thanks for watching, Ill keep em comin. Cheers
You crushed it!!!💥
Just crazy! great work on getting the race footage..
This is a great perspective Max thanks! It is interesting seeing how clogged up it is. A lot of these guys can ride fast and do hills, but when it comes to wet rocks and wood they are obviously really struggling. This conga line should just be moving through this. I botched my prologue by 8 minutes or so, but that represented over 100 places for day 2 (Friday). When I got to Big Creek it was mostly cleared out compared to this. I had to wait a little bit for the route to clear on each section so I could just ride it, and I let a bunch of pros and fast A guys on their 2nd laps by, but yeah cleared everything except one or two spots had to hike-a-bike over tree roots. I took the switchbacks @8:19 and it was an easy and fast way around (with no one on it) going up the creek bed in that section.
Nice work getting through that ssection!
Everytime I watch one of your videos it blows my mind how you are cruising through these sections and still commentating. Keep up the great work we need more people to show off the hard enduro community and bring it more main stream
Thanks, will do! Glad you like them
Look at the carnage so awesome!!!
Max #1 showing how it’s done
Man thanks for your efforts on that one 🤘
All day!
We met in I think ‘19 when it was silver kings. I pitted behind you in the parking lot. I’ll never forget your advice on tire set up. From hard enduro, harescramble , desert and track I still use that set up. Many thanks
Ah man thats great to hear. Always stoked to help out and share knowledge.
Max this is one crazy video
Definitely a wild one haha
That looks brutal.
Pretty brutal
Beta looks nice!!!!!
Loooving it
All those RTR will be for sale soon on FB and Craigslist, lol
😂😂
That would be super frustrating for the pros to lose all their time gains with the bottleneck and lapped traffic
Definitely challenging terrain
Absssolutely
Do you ever feel bad that you can out ride the riders your recording? 😁
Big question is, why isn't he racing?
@williamcrotts7054 first time I seen one of his videos I said the same thing
I ask this everytime
Ha, absolutely not! I raced Hard Enduro forr many years. I am now focused on getting the sport exposure while still racing select events and Endurocross. Cheers boys!
That Beta is the best looking bike on the market!
Best looking and damn does it handle well.
yo, would you mind telling us your thoughts on the difference between the gas gas and beta, thanks
Theyre so different, but the Betas carbureted engine is like a tractor, so good. I also prefer the suspension and chassis on the Beta.
Way better than endurotainment 👍🏁
Haha we both do the best we can.
carnage
Ultra
Damn! Half the battle is just getting through the traffic jam. So frustrating!
Absolutely.
This is like being in the surfing lineup with 100 guys. No thanks.
Seems like Maxy likey the carby!
Maxy really likeey the carb.
If I had your skillset and I was riding these events the rookie riders blocking the more technical sections would piss me
Hahaha
Ok max im putting on blast whats the better enduro machine beta or gas gas
The Beta. The chassis and engine sets it apart without a doubt.
Ptsd
Please do a beta set up video. Thank you
100% will do
love the footage but seriously reconsidering doing this race as an amateur with these bottlenecks. its like the worst of the c class with a class obstacles.
This was the most congested area of the event and all the amateurs I spoke with had a blast. Come on out!
Who is that chick @6 minutes? One talented lady!
Karlie Hall-Leah. She got 2nd overall next to Sandra Gomez
SSHes a savage!
Haha that's my neighbor Katie. She told me about that yesterday on our ride.
all for traction control to be mandatory, 4lbs bib and gummers.
I think this is the only sport where the media guy out runs the actual competitors 😂😂
IDK the referees at football games run backward with a whistle in their mouth and keep up.
Why wait? Just go around?
If there was a way around they would be!
Non racer here so take it for what its worth, but whether its the course or the race setup is the reason for the carnage, wouldn't it be better to plan a race to avoid these bottlenecks...seems to me it totally takes away the competitiveness of the event.
The only reason there are these bottlenecks is because the guys riding aren’t the best, the pros could walk through this course and never miss a beat, the traffic makes it an experience game. Its just another level is all
@@NoxiousStimulus Seems to me they should separate the classes then. I understand this is a 3-lap race so eventually there's gonna be lapping. The bottlenecks of lappers leaves too much to good/bad luck for the pros and takes away from the pure competition, not to mention it must be frustrating AF for them.
Lots goes into putting on a Hard Enduro event and overall the promoter and organizers did well at this event. Yess, there are things you can do to mitigate bottlenecks.
Thanks@@MaxGerston ! Appreciate the comment from a pro!! Great video work you are doing on this series. Hope to make it to TKO to watch.
Those guys causing the bottlenecks are idiots, they should be pairing up with each other to get through the tough sections, instead they just sit there being the problem instead of the solution, they should really emphasize that at the riders meetings, if riders would use this strategy bottlenecks would be a lot less of a problem.
Tell the world how its done, maybe start a YT channel.
idiots? Brutal. They're doing the best they can and having fun.
On a Beta instead of Gas Gas
Yes. I believe he signed some sort of deal with Beta recently.
Yes sir, loving the beta
Why is nobody overheating🤷🏼♂️
Maybe they have fans?
Max Gerston you have the best hard enduro coverage out there👍good shit man
What a cluster… all these “wana be” hard enduro goons .. all the do is give the sport a bad name and wreck trails and riding areas because they lack the technique
I can see how poor technique can be more destructive. Another reason to join an max off-road enduro clinic.
