I’ve ran these Gambler 500 FL mini bike events since the first 5hr Enduro that Chris put on, and these are a complete blast. The 24hr LeMinis take it to an entirely next level of craziness.
Chris is a great guy who did an awesome job in bringing Gambler to Florida! Thanks Ed for taking the time to share the story of the craziness and comradery that is FL Gambler. With love, The Cowabunga Camry from 1:21
I ran in the 24 Hours of Le Mini's event the last year Chris was in charge of the even (Le Mini's 2) and the last one in February (Le Mini's 3). Let me say, if you run solo on a mini bike for 24 hours, you'll no longer have use of your hands for about a week and you start going insane about hour 15. Surprisingly, we only had one person break a leg.
Cool story and love any grass roots type stuff. Not that I don't appreciate the higher end stuff. Road Trip Toolbox Additions. Headlamp - Hands free to work on what needs it Magnetic Standing Work Light - Again, hands free lighting Jump Pack with a built in Air Compressor - Air up after repairing tire. No plugs needed. Work Gloves - Grease, oil, road grime, dead animal and bug parts, hot parts, jagged edges etc etc Better on the gloves than on you. Electric Tape - For wires. Knife/Multi Tool - Likely going to have to cut stuff. Road Flares/Lights - Want something flashing/shiny/bright getting people's attention that something is going on if I am under a car on the side of the road.. The battery powered ones are nice and won't start fires.
@@joshuagibson2520 🤣🤣🤣 you’re probably right lol. I know a couple other auto RUclipsrs in my region (people you’ve seen tell stories here but I won’t name drop) and I’ve asked them to come to some gambler events and they’re usually complete against the idea 🤣 “camping and getting dirty? Im good bro” 🤣🤣🤣
At 6:06 He is correct.. I've lived in Fort Myers Florida & North GA, when the temperature was in the 30's ( which didn't happen that often ) in Fort Myers it felt the the temperature was in the teens, compared to the 30's in N-GA..
Lets appreciate a actual car story and 1 worth listening to please get back to this not 10 minutes of a commercial to promote someone's else's bs to sell us something
Chris and his wife are first class and very competent. The sad souls he handed it off too couldn’t organize an ant 🐜 farm. What a bunch of weird wingnuts working the show now. steer clear mini bike community of this once great event.

I'd rather hear a story like this any day over a super rich guy laugh about the ticket most of us can't afford.
Work harder than?
Same!!! Way more relatable!
Agreed as well.
This and the 24hrs of Lemons are a some of the best episodes yet.

Yes!!!! Thank you Ed for bringing in a gambler finally! Would love to see more gambler story tellers in the future!

Forgot to add a waterproof stadium blanket or small tarp. Because laying on cold/'wet/muddy or any other form of nasty ground is unpleasant.
Can't wait to bring my deathtrap tractor tire minibike next event. Was such a blast
Please please PLEASE bring one to Texas! I haven't been this excited about something in a while. lol
🎵 big men, on a little bike!
😂😂
This was a good one
This is like a sign my new favorite hobby is mini bikes🤯
Right? I thought the same thing. lol. Even though I have an electric I'm excited about gas ones too now.
This sounds like a blast!
They absolutely are! Would love to see you at one of these events in 2024 Ed!
Probably not bougie enough for Ed Bolian.

@@DunnDifferent yeah lol. I don't trust anyone who can't \ won't refuses to even change their own oil.
That sounds like an awesome time!!! And Chris, it was nice to meet you at Ed’s!!! Fantastic story!
I am F en ready for the next 24 hours of le minis Bring it on!!!!!
You can say fuck. No one is going to ground you.
BLESS THIS MAN! I’m the mini king in my area and you’re my hero!
We’re doing more. Hope to see you there!
I did this event twice in a gokart! It was the best event I did!
sounds like fun id love to do one on my old 70's arco minibike.
"Double-tap" 💥💥 😄
Loved the story of all the crazy fun. Its what its all about.

I wanna see Jeremiah from Donut Media race in this race🤣
I know this type of people, and I bet a lot of those so called "hoopties" are also their daily drivers
You are correct. I’ve dailyed all my gambler cars at some point and so do many others.
A Trophy race? ok.
No bragging rights? Is that the rule? Cuz if I won I would absolutely be bragging
Excellent video! We’re getting ready to post details on next years event! Stay tuned!
ABG🤙🤙went on a scouting run once with some buddies and fell in love with the idea been doing it since
I would love to volunteer for the Texas event
Chris gave me my first bottle of Malort. Ef that guy. 😂
I never knew i needed to do something like this untill it was right in front of me
I clearly need better friends, mine won't do this stuff. 🙁
This needs more cleetus and the boys...
If its in Florida I gotta make the next one
Count me in!
How do I find out about upcoming 24hr of le mini?
ABG 🎉
I wish things like this happened where I live in Aus
So obviously a Honda Trail 70 doesnt qualify as mini-bike? They would have no issues w/ 24 hours of push.
No worries. We’ll just have you drag a tire behind you to even things out.
That sounds painful!

24 hours straight. How many hours gay?
ALL the hours gay.
Ed is far too prissy to do anything like this.
Chris and his wife are first class and very competent. The sad souls he handed it off too couldn’t organize an ant 🐜 farm. What a bunch of weird wingnuts working the show now. steer clear mini bike community of this once great event.
