    Hell yeah man I've got the same bike. They're surprisingly pretty good in slow stuff especially with some ECU tuning. Nice riding!

    It's all about the rider guys!
    There is an older video of a guy riding a 450 Honda and he literally makes the 300s look heavy the way he handles that 450! I will try to find it and post it here!

    2 things:
    first of all, you absolutely killed that! even when I could tell you were beat, you still were pushing through, great work. and second, did you get any heat from ama about the helmet mounted gopro?

    • @XploreEnduro
      @XploreEnduro  Рік тому +2

      Thank you!! They announce before every race that we can’t wear them on the helmet but I do my best to not care. Riding a dirtbike up and down cliffs is 1000x more dangerous than a gopro on my chin. It’s a stupid rule. Having the footage to look back on is half the fun for me so I ignore it.

    • @GrayRidesEnduro
      @GrayRidesEnduro Рік тому +1

      @Xplore Enduro I 100% agree. I'm gonna be doing Silver Kings and of course wanna wear my gopro. I'm pretty sure 99.9% of people don't care. Just gotta hope that someone isn't having a bad day and decides to tell you to take it off or even the 1 in a million disqualification

      @@GrayRidesEnduro most people don’t care, I keep my helmet off until the banner is about to drop. From my experience unless Kudla with the AMA is there it goes fine! When I get disqualified for it, I will stop racing AMA events. It drives me nuts that it’s even a rule!!

    Great riding , go the mighty 350!! The 350excf would be easier to ride in that terrain due to the heavier flywheel and different cam timing etc.

    What was the deciding factor between the 350 or the 300 smoker? What tire set up did you run? Took a few hard hits with the forks, AER’s or inserts? Great ride!💪🏻

    • @XploreEnduro
      @XploreEnduro  Рік тому +2

      Forks are AER stock but i had the compression and air pretty low so some of the big hits were pretty bad! Currently only have the 350, I sold the TX because the braktec brakes were terrible. Waiting for a 24. I run a tusk Emex t35 on the front for basically everything, had a VE33s IRC on the rear!
