    Well done Zen Master! Just did my first ESC enduro at 47yo at Jiminy Peak. It was INTENSE! Running that blind was badass.

    That was cool. Stage one looked hard. Ruff and rocky. Good job. Thanks for sharing with us.

      Harry, Honestly, This was a heck of way to start enduro racing. LOL I was just surviving. But I had to get it out of the way so I can build confidence and PILOT my bike.

    Just stumbled upon this vid. Great attitude and it gives this older noob some incentive.

    good job dude, you did better than me as your first time doing "Formula" trail, I had to walk half the stuff in 2019

    and yes the gopro does no justice at capturing the massive steepness there

    After watching a bunch of your vids, I’m still amused how you keep composed, I feel like I might be letting out a few expletives, like with that blind drop!
    Keep up pushing those limits!

    Stage 2 you were super tentative. I know you're faster than that. That must have been a super slippery course. Once you lose your mojo and confidence, it's a wrap. Been there, done that for sure.

    • @MTBZenMaster
      @MTBZenMaster  3 года назад

      Yeah, Rookies, LOL In the next video on one of the stages, my tires randomly slide out. I cant even explain it. But glad i got my first one out of the way. I get more comfortable with every race, now to improve :-)

    Sick! This was inspirational cause I'm 40 and have wanted to enter one of these and finally did! Look 10 years younger, but feel my age after a run. Pretty good at park despite relative inexperience, but I've always worried more about jumps and fun over speed and line choices. Just looking for a challenge, something different.
    Thx for the inspiration. Bike looks dope BTW!
