30th out of 59 is not to be sneezed at, a decent result. Best thing is to ride your own race, stay rubber side down and as you said have fun. Looking forward to a couple of the enduros when I move up soon
@@theslowrider 30-39. I started out with Zacs which was the first time riding that, went a bit sideways early on and after that it was in my head and went really slow for the rest of it. Bummed out but stoked at the same time!
@@tbc_mtb yeah racing under those conditions can be really mind blocking for sure… I didn’t made the race I planned to do, I went way slower than usual… but doesn’t matter tbh, just loved the time on the bike :)
@@TheButlerNZ man! I was so into lower starfish! It one of my absolute favorites all time… but last stage for intermediate was swigg which is good but less fun than starfish IMO
@@theslowrider Pre 2019 Starfish had a deep rut down (the tripple straight drop section I think) that you didn't get to choose in the wet... I managed to make it ok over the 1st drop, rear in the grove front right & high on the middle... And summersault to the right on the 3rd section... Luckily I was going slow as it was hard tale and old RST's with Y-brake up front. (and I was around 50 at the time...
Great riding in the wet. Some off the best memories are made in the worst of conditions
You absolutely right mate! It was an absolute blast! And that’s the most important 😊
Awesome!
Thanks mate! Race was really good! Glad you enjoyed the video 🙌

Oh exactly mate, being in one piece at the end of a race is already a victory for me 😊 most important is to enjoy and have fun !
Was cool too meet u mate and well done on Pōhatu that was like peanut butter and cayenne looking forward to bamba
Pōhatu was good for sure, but I hold the brake even more than usual cause I was really nervous!
Bamba will be without me 😭 got plan already 😩
What a champ!!! BOBA forever!!!
I wish to be a champ 😂 unfortunately reality is far from that! Love BOBA 😘
This was my first race. Had a great day, although terrible riding on my part and interesting weather, still an awesome day! Good stuff man!
Absolutely mate! Really slow on my side, tricky weather, but absolute fun to do 😊, hope you enjoyed the video 😊
@@theslowrider we were in the same category, nice seeing it again from someone a good couple mins ahead of me. Nice video for sure bro.
@@tbc_mtb nice, what year category?
I could have been a bit faster, but I was scared AF 😂

Thanks mate, tbh I had this thought flying to my brain in the morning… but I was way over excited to ride my bike so 😀
Love the Air Horns... When did you get them fitted.
qXD
Came with the bike, and my poor skills 😅
@@theslowrider Shame they didn't run lower Starfish in the wet... That would have sorted the boys from the Men...tally deranged.
