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.
Awesome job man! I just did my first enduro a few weeks ago! this looked much more intense! I want to try some ESC enduros next year! that is the goal!! PS, I saw myself at the 03:09 mark! lol
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.
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!
@@MTBZenMaster schedule got released today! :) aaaand i bought a new bike :) should be in on thursday... i'm def going for it, hahaha. the only thing i dont see on the website so far is how much it costs to enter the race...do you remember what it was last year for you guys?
@@MTBZenMaster hey man, just wanted to throw you a heads up... not sure if you are already in or wanting to get in, but it looks like the Diamond Hill, R.I. May 2nd ESC enduro is almost full (250+ /300 registered). Since you pointed me in the right direction i figured i would return the favor ;P i hope you are doing well and having fun :)
Congrats Bro that was so Awesome !!! you inspire me sooo much! Im scared sh*^&%less to try that, but your "hey give it go" attitude makes me want to try so bad! If I ever run a race it will be cause of you Sam! No judgment just encouragement! Thanks for being real.
Yo FF! you can do it. The first one was tough, but a fun experience. Glad I tried. Its just like running a best effort "strava segment" do that a few times. :-)
Thank you! I recorded that video on a gopro hero 7 in 2.7k res, flat color mounted on my chin mount. Then i add color and edit in Power Director (subscription).
Hey bud, just found this video through a friend! Will you be at this years enduro? I’ve just started riding blue this year and this coming event will be my first enduro!!
Loving your positive attitude! Everyone got to start somewhere. 👍🏻
Thanks Johnathan!
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.

@@MTBZenMaster I do love you videos. And your additude is great. I'm not good enough, now, but it makes me think about doing a race. Maybe someday.
Just stumbled upon this vid. Great attitude and it gives this older noob some incentive.
This is such an awesome sport. Older noobs can go out and have fun like, and laugh, and stay healthy like younger dudes!
Awesome video! Love the overlay trail and grade! I’m hoping to do an esc or two next year!
Thank you! Enduro is as fun as is it get. ESC races are great.
Thanks for sharing this. Going to be doing my first enduro at Sugarloaf Maine this September, hope to see you there!

good job dude, you did better than me as your first time doing "Formula" trail, I had to walk half the stuff in 2019
Thanks Bro! Hell yeah, Formula is serious work.
and yes the gopro does no justice at capturing the massive steepness there

Keep up pushing those limits!
LOL Yo Will Thanks! I try to keep it clean for the young dudes (under 13yrs) who watch the channel . :-)

The Enduro schedule?!! Okay i need to check it out.
regular entry fee can start to add up over the season. depends on the venue $60 to $80 i think.

your videography and overlays are beautiful. what's your camera, mount location, and software you used. I'm really impressed, great riding too!
