paulmbowers 236 Posted December 19, 2008 I'm always dogged by the question- when does the fun stop and the punishment begin? Some people think trail 5, por ejemplo, is fun, throwing their body and bike on the rocks repeatedly. For me, as a SallieBarnie, I don't find that fun. These guys are not, in my opinion, having fun. But I'd be willing to bet after the race and a few bier (bitte), they had a great time. Life is a balance. Or out-of-balance, I suppose- if it's fun. Or punishment.

dirt dame 559 Posted December 19, 2008 Water, rocks and cliffs are all great equalizers, and they don't care what brand of bike you happen to be riding either. Makes me hurt all over to watch those guys, but I'd rather be spectating than riding that stuff. The thing I don't get, is that it's supposed to be a championship enduro, but there wasn't one clip of anybody riding like a champion through any of that stuff. I wonder if anybody was able to actually ride through it without stalling or crashing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

christi20 0 Posted December 19, 2008 WOW! That is just plain CRAZY. It makes our enduros look like cake. Doesn't look any fun to me either! If I have to get off my bike, then I am no longer riding, hence no longer fun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slosher 0 Posted December 19, 2008 I like how they just keep going and the one person was just left behind.. It must be a race.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darylhunter 1 Posted December 19, 2008 Wow, I wouldn't even want to ride that on my trials bike!! It would be interesting to know if they even allow trials bikes in that event? Being about 100 lbs lighter it would make carrying them out of some of those holes much easier . . . ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
