  • This is a super special video for me, I got the chance to head to Finale Ligure for the final stop of the EWS Enduro World Series and Trophy Of Nations. MTB Enduro racing is much like downhill racing but way longer, and with longer stages comes more problems, crashes and horrendous climbs. This was my first ever enduro event of this calibre, so to race down huge mountains on trails with rocks, roots, jumps and cliffs was a crazy experience for. I shot the whole day on GoPro POV to take you along with me for a full enduro world series race. enjoy the downhill footage but also the shots me suffering. Shout out to Marin Bikes for the industry entry! enjoy

    Enduro is so tough, I think a lot don't realise just how hardcore it is, few could do what you just did on a full EWS course. Essentially racing dh whilst exhausted after only (normally) one practise run, it really pushes the limits of rider and bike. Much respect. I'll stick to the local enduro races, 2-4 minute stages with 20 minute climbs, and still takes me a week to recover from an event!

    so refreshing to see a more "mere mortal" take on the EWS, highlighting not only the stages, but even more importantly the climbs, that can properly drain you to the point you can't finish the downs.
