This all looks so awesome and your tutorial is crystal clear. Alas ...there are no enduro races in the Netherlands... Would be cool to try out Germany or France. Thanks for the cool lessons Christina!
Hey fellow flatland citizen, belgian enduro cup is 11th of this month. Track walk is on the 10th. Also it's an ews gold qualifier. Should check it out, friends and I are racing it.
Thanks Christina, iv been pondering trying my first enduro for a while, be it as a slightly unfit mid 30's guy on a 26 inch bike and was a bit worried about the linking trails, fitness etc but this explains what to expect really well thank you. Think I will give it a go!
Thank you, Christina, for another informative and well-done video. Your enormous talent and kindness shine through on every one of your videos, making them both exciting and heart-warming to watch.
Texas enduro cup hosted by team trail party is coming up this fall, and the southern enduro tour hosted by slaughter trail guides in the spring is also around the corner!
Noob question regarding enduro walking: I read that pedaling is a lot more efficient than walking since there is much less up and down bobbing. Is it really easier to walk up than to ride up, at the easiest gear and a similar pace?
How about making Enduro a national televised sport! There are many reasons lots of other sports cast a shadow over this hottest form of off-road cycling.
as a climber, i found pedaling uphill is more energy saver than pushing the bike uphill😁😁 i wish the climb are timed too. cause its a race😅 and thats why its enduro. to test your mtb skills. up and down the hill. whith your skills and endurance😁😁
@@HeyBaumeister its more like xc idol. if you ride xc race now adays its like your riding enduro with a twist.🤣🤣🤣 climb will kill your knees.😅😅😅 thats why xc bike forks now a days have more travel than usual. even in our area, xc rider dominates in enduro race, even using xc bikes. beating the *** of enduro rider with enduro bikes😁
That defeats the whole purpose of enduro. It’s basically multiple downhill races in a day. The climb is just to wear you out and get you to the top for the actual race. XC riders don’t stand a chance in a real enduro race. I don’t think you’ve seen a real enduro race if you think XC riders on their tiny bikes can beat real enduro racers on their buffed out race rigs.
@@mateoclagg3176 hmmm enduro king here in our area is road racing,xc champion too. he even playing enduro cross. and he even say ,to save energy do not push the bikes up hill it will drain your stamina. if the climb is not that steep. pedal it uphill to recover. why call it enduro in the first place if theres no endurance involved 🤣🤣 you can't test your endurance by just down hill. you just need your skills. so basically enduro race is just a downhill race.cause climb is not counted as part of it.
@@mateoclagg3176 xc riders can survive enduro race. but only few enduro racer can survive in xc race.😁 no hate just love what you are doing😁😁 i'm not a racer tho i just love trail ride on enduro course and xc track😁. i just do the track read every time there is a race. but i dont bother to enter the actual race. i just track read it so that i can find the best spot to take a picture😁😁
I assume you don't check comments on videos this old, but I'm a bibs guy from gravel/cross/road riding. Are you going bibs with chamois under the shorts and jersey here? Just about to pick up a new trail bike and trying to figure out my optimum kit. :)
Walking is fine for newbies. But if you are really training both physically and technically, pedalling up should be no problem at all, and still have the energy to bomb down the hill
It all depends on your personal fitness. If you are very fit then you can go hard in the beginning. But preride your stages and transfers to understand what you’re dealing with.
It went together easily in less than an hour. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Make sure the front fork is forward or the pedals will hit the front tire. Tires are both a little soft so it needs air before I ride it. The rear wheel didn't come with a clamp regular bolts hold it on. The front had the clamp. No scratches out of box. Rims are a little off with a slight wobble. They could have spent more time with the spoke tool fixing the run out. So far out of the box I'm happy with it. I did replace the pedals with a nice aftermarket set. After riding it a bit my A$$ is a bit sore so I ordered another seat. Overall I'm nearly 60 and didn't ride a bike in 30 years. I like my new 29" Schwinn. It will be used for casual rides with my friend.
@@TheMonneydollar the bikes are too fancy for my taste, also i feel like not timing the uphill is a bit silly but at least they are not shuttled. there are lots of other reason that trickle into other disciplines like paying to ride a bike but i get why some people might use that as motivation to push harder or train more often its just not for me, i tend to prefer to ride very basic bikes like full rigid singlespeeds, coaster braked, or fixed mountain bikes, just a different journey. this video does do a really great job of explaining the event and i use to ride bikes set up for that type of riding, just the longer i bike the less complicated bike i want.
I totally agree with slow is smooth and smooth is fast, I’ve crashed two days in arrow just trying to PR the trail and washed out on a corner
Just in time! Doing my first Race Cascadia on 21 this month.
Oh buddy!!!! I LOVE that event! You will have so much fun -Christina
Christina is an awesome front person for Pinkbike! Love the videos. Very informative.
I usually just fill my pockets with tater tots.
Napolean, is that you?

Napoleon I want your tots!!

you can't test your endurance by just down hill.
you just need your skills.

i'm not a racer tho i just love trail ride on enduro course and xc track😁.
i just do the track read every time there is a race. but i dont bother to enter the actual race.
i just track read it so that i can find the best spot to take a picture😁😁
Shin guard dude returns
First time ever seeing an orange electrical taped to a bike frame. 😆😆
I assume you don't check comments on videos this old, but I'm a bibs guy from gravel/cross/road riding. Are you going bibs with chamois under the shorts and jersey here?
Just about to pick up a new trail bike and trying to figure out my optimum kit. :)
Is there anything similar between enduro and cross country racing because I currently race xc but am starting enduro in the spring
Hello Chris !
are you racing EWS this year?
Christina looks micro next to that 29er. What size are you running?
I’ve been riding mountain bikes my whole life and I’ve been trying to find an enduro race to try out but can’t find any
If you're going to walk the bike up, why not just run a DH bike? Or a Canfield One2?
Walking is fine for newbies. But if you are really training both physically and technically, pedalling up should be no problem at all, and still have the energy to bomb down the hill
Should you push all you have at every stage? Or should i take it easy at the start and go harder and harder at the last stages?
It all depends on your personal fitness. If you are very fit then you can go hard in the beginning. But preride your stages and transfers to understand what you’re dealing with.

@@TheMonneydollar facts, keep the stoke and enjoy the ride.
how about a downhill race?
Don't crash !

Akeh omong e Iki kapan prakteknya...
Just do downhill racing cuts out the boring bit 😅
