      Will the mates both be riding the same configuration bike setup and bike? The Scott Ransom does have some performance attributes that Blake’s current rig doesn’t. So the ask. I know most folks say it’s the rider and not the bike. Well, that only holds true in certain instances. The Enduro racing at this level can be beneficial through the bike travel, components, and overall symmetry. My money is on the individual with the best overall fitness. Sam Hill doesn’t have any extra, so he can pop and float ALL DAY, letting the bike do the work mostly. Cheers.

    i've watched a few SH videos where he's describing how to ride a section. if you pay attention he says 'scrub speed' or 'you were going too fast' into a section, quite often. for a guy who is blindingly fast, he has a physician's understanding of when to brake, how much, and how fast to go at what time for maximum speed over ground. the guy is a genius.

    • @ManuelMartinez09
      @ManuelMartinez09 4 роки тому +3

      I was going to point exactly the same... hard to imagine that to be faster not always got to take every section at max speed. Just physics and knowledge of your bike and capabilities.

    • @BurnsRubber
      @BurnsRubber 3 роки тому

      Corner exit speed is almost alway more import then how fast you enter. Braking through the corner results in lower exit speeds. Get your braking done early to maximize cornering traction. Riding fast is about balancing entry and exit speed for the section of track.

  • @OntheTrailMTB
    @OntheTrailMTB 6 років тому

    And Blake spent more time on the trail, and thereby had more time doing the fun stuff ;)
    There's two different approaches here, and Blake has made videos about them before, racing and having fun. I'm not saying Sam not having fun, but his focus is getting down to the end of the trail as fast as possible. And he's obviously doing a very damn good job at doing that. Personally my aim is having as much fun as possible. And I think riding trails is fun, so I want to spend as much time as possible doing that :) But all things considered, every trail rider can catch something watching videos on line choices, such as this or Ben Cathros videos, and giving the trail you ride a thought, stepping of the bike at times and take walk and look for those alternative lines.

      @hamishmchamish 6 років тому

      Depends on the track. Tight and twisty = lots of inside line. Longer straight sections = wider lines for greater exit speed into the straights. It's also clear the EWS riders look to ride smoothly to conserve energy rather than go at everything full out

    My main problem watching top riders like him live is: noticing some kind of awesome and surprising move i've already missed a whole lot of set up! 8-[
