It’s an amazing state

20:04 is the same line I took through that section. Needed help on that root.

I did. I agree that the community is amazing! Not sure I’m cut out for it but I am so glad I went. It’s motivating me to get better and more fit for my kind of racing.

@@highlandcycles It’s amazing how fast you can progress once you start seeing the “hard stuff”. It’s hard to imagine what to ride before going to a race. Really addicting once you start making progress

@@GoldenAppleGamers problem is that Colorado doesn’t have anything that steep or that open that’s legal. I need access to a ski resort

Thanks. I’m trying

I’m not making fun of Morgan, he’s awesome, or any of the other riders. I understand wanting to push oneself and trying new things, it’s just that it has to have a good ratio of FUN. I enjoy RIDING my dirt bkes , Not dragging, pushing & pleading them up and over roots & rocks on 45 degree incline. I want to see my wheels rolling. I DON’T want to see another riders gloves grabbing my front tire, gasping for air trying to help me pull my bike up a hill! In one of Morgan’s videos, I heard him say about Hard Enduro, that he doesn’t get it. I don’t get the enjoyment of the self inflicted misery. Hard Enduro is compared to draining the water out of a swimming pool, then filling it with sand & trying to swim in the pool, while another swimmer has you by your ankle trying to drag you across the pool! WTF? The other parts of the race course were okay. But that hillside scene looked like mass casualties everywhere. “Hard Enduro” will have to improve the courses, or it will be a Fad & go away like SuperMoto/Super Motard did. Love your channel, Morgan, keep up the great content!

@@NSR969 I definitely don’t get it but I can see how it drives some people to want to be better at it.

I feel the same way haha

I appreciate that!

Thanks

😂🤣

You got that right!

Yes! Thank you!

🤘🏻

Thanks! 👍

Nice!!

My favorite tire from IRC .

Hahaha. There was a lot of joy and happiness, just a different kind

It was out of hand

Agree. The good guys do

It’s manly but I think the Isle Of Man is more so. Rarely do people die in a hard enduro

Hahahah. Yep. It’s more of a big moto mixer

Hahaha. The start position makes a big difference in these races. The more people ahead of you the harder it is to get by the bottleneck. I am not good enough to make new routes.

Also in the beginning I honestly had no idea how hard it was going to be. I do now.

Agree

It’s pretty good. A little soft for my tastes but not bad

Thanks for the feedback enjoy:)

More weight lifting but more importantly, worked on finding traction in the most ridiculous situations.

Agree

I’ll have to check but I’m guessing about 45 min to an hour

13/52

It does. That’s all me

No. I think the tire was spot on. But after talking to some more experienced guys I would have drilled the mousse balls with a bigger drill to make them softer

What size of hole did you run? And what size is reasonable to go to?

@@snirtbike it was the smallest drill that mitigator makes. I think it’s about an inch. Not sure what the right size would be but you could probably do 2”

Amen!!

It is definitely type 2 fun.

Not sure. Better than me for sure

😂🤣 true but I wouldn’t have met the cool people or caught big fish in Montana on the way back.

@@highlandcycles State record trout in Gunnision.

@@williamcrotts7054 yep. In one of the hardest sections of river absolutely filled elbow to elbow with fishermen. And I ride here all the time. Fun to see something new and much harder than anything in CO

I hear ya. But the good guys float through it. It’s a weird thing. You just want to get better at it.
