Damn, I wish! I'm already committed to a Ryan Young trials class that weekend. I'm even worse in person anyway. Wanting to make Round 4 and 5 though. Rounds 3 would be way cool but I need to take a break from bike prepping for a minute...

Yup you nailed it. :)

There is no written rulebook, it's pretty seat of the pants rule wise. In previous years missing a check was a DQ, this year I guess it was a penalty which I'm sure was covered in the riders meeting but if you've ever been to a KOM riders meeting they are a bit hard to follow. Just look at some...

Looks way more trials based than that, more like Sherco x-ride competition?

I don't know what problem this thing solves but it's quirky and cool as hell!

I didn't know that was a thing so I didn't ask, I will at the next one.

I've seen a few of the new gassers at some of the hard enduros i've gone to this year and they all seem to have issues with the estart.

GG did great, far exceeding my expectations. Here is to hoping that they put together their own sleds for the 2019 edition. The same can be said of Toby Price, he trained for six weeks for the toughest offroad race in the world and wound up on the podium. 3-1-dnf-3 is not a bad record at Dakar...

Yeah, hard enduro is just getting started in the US, this event is only in it's second year. Also it's a sprint race, closer to what they have in Europe than the endurance races like The Roof etc...

That sucks. so close to the end too.

Barreda has withdrawn. Didn't see that coming. Still gutted for Yamaha, I really wanted to see them take it.

I thought the way you did, but after meeting him my opinion changed. IHOP on the other hand, still sucks. :D My whole group was laughing out asses off about his comments, "it's a simple race isnt it? Just up and down, up and down." Not for us mortals haha!

I raced this event and ran into David at breakfast Sunday before the race and he came across as just a regular guy who loves racing despite the fact that he is a legend. He and the GGNA guys conversed with our group for about an hour or so and it was just a group of guys bench racing over...

Holy Shit! what a day! Yamaha is completely out of contention and it looks like I may get my Walkner win afterall!

I wasn't very clear, much more likely i'll end up with a yz125, or 250x, or 450fx. the 250fx weighs too much for the application i'd use it for, but it's a cool bike nonetheless. Great day of racing again. Gas Gas is certainly making a splash.
