    Hard Enduro

    I appreciate there probably aren't many members into enduro here, but this is amazing, as well as funny in places. Another member posted it last year which is what got me into this particular race. Off to Austria for Xmas and may well book for this event next year.

    Good stuff. Used to do plenty of DH mountain biking in the peeks with my brother before I came to Thailand.

    I posted it up last year and completely missed it this year. Cheers, I'll get through it tomorrow!

    I've recently bought a couple of CRFs and I'm slowly getting into it. I've got a few leads for local events so hopefully I can get involved soon and get in the loop.
    Lang may yer lum reek...

    Was always a road rider, but it does look like a fokload of fun.

    Will be retiring up to the North in less than 10 yrs or so, reckon that will be the time and place to get into the rough stuff and buy an off road bike and get stuck into the jungle mountains.

    One sad thing is the demise of Husaberg as a manufacturer. I'll never have one but still...

    It was a Red Bull video of a Red Bull sponsored event, Red Bull are brilliant at marketing non mainstream sports, they put the sport on the map, and have all the rights.

    True. Personally I have never bought a Red Bull product and never will, but they do market the sport well and a least as a biker, produce some stuff worth watching rather than the dross on mainstream.
    More bedlam!

    Apparently they do pump a huge amount of cash into extreme sports. They've certainly been extremely generous to Kye (see above) in his various ventures.

    I too have never purchased a Red Bull or even sipped a drop, I think it's mainly a teenager type drink.
    What I do enjoy also about their sponsorship that is effectively advertising, is that it brainwashes the viewer into believing that Red Bull is healthy, because only fit sports people partake in the events. And you just assume that they drink the sponsors drink.
