...gonna need a bigger parts bin
Endurbros vs Gnarstar
- Thread starter djjohnr
- Start date
was entertained by that earlier today...looks like lower hairball at snowshoe only more wide open.
Ah yes, good ole Duststar. There are two ways to ride, within one wheel-length of the guy in front of you, or 2 min later...
tomorrow
I couldn't give two shits about endurpadurp. But watching people kill themselves is always funny.
Video: Raw Carnage at EWS Northstar's Gnarliest Rock Garden - Pinkbike
The track at EWS Northstar is proving to be one of the toughest yet with bikes and bodies taking a beating.
Anyone who says trail bikes are just as capable as dh bikes is an idiot.
that looked like trail bikes
that looked like trail bikes
Has anyone actually said that? At least anyone who doesn't ride long travel trail bikes on IMBA paths?
i said enduro bikes. duh. it's not my fault those jokers were riding trail bikes.
you're just mad my crabon bars haven't killed me yet. good luck bear hunting tomorrow!
Not even.
I cherish every moment of your life.
Knowing it could be taken from us at any time.
Video: The Chute From Hell - EWS Northstar 2019 - Pinkbike
Racers had to practice Stage 4 this morning before taking the start-line at EWS Northstar. This rocky chute will be a major factor tomorrow.
Gnarly. Some fucken boss lines though
bububu Enduro Bikes can do anything a DH bike can bro!
funny thing about this video is that I know people who would use it as proof that you don't need a DH bike for riding DH stuff.
And I'm joining them, I'm getting an enduro bike and a half shell helmet. I can still wear my goggles though right?

Yeesh, that kidney punch scorpion looks invigorating.
Well if you're not trying to do it quickly you can pretty much ride everything on a trials bike.
People are getting bodied, cot damn this is gnarly
What course are they on?
Mix of newly cut trails that route in and out of existing trails - some of sticks, dogbone, karpiel and boondocks.
Cool thx, Some trails I didn't recognize. I'll be there this coming Sat, looking forward to it!
I definitely could not ride any of that on a trials bike. Not in 6 minutes, not in 6 months. And I know those trails really well.
That pic just confirms my theory that the most effective stopping power in the universe is your face.
I'm surprised Marco (Randy) didn't do better. Remember when he won a ProGRT downhill at Northstar on his enduro bike?

I get your California dust bowl mountains mixed up. Probably because I suck at racing at both of them.
Yeah northstar's the 50% boulder 50% shit powder dirt one
Mammoth is the 'coasting downhill on a dry beach' one.
It's the funniest thing in the world to watch people from washington or BC try to race at either.
The bigger question would be why someone from Washington or BC would travel to ride that shit? Not to mention it is known to cause cancer.
Cancer only if you're IN california though. Doesn't happen 3 miles away in Nevada.
For all the dirt bitching PNW folks have down here there is one thing you don't have to worry about. What are those things called? The dirt sticks.....they shine in the rain which is always. Can't remember the name. Made of wood......

Being from the East coast the volcanic soil here seems grippy as shit when mud gets over rocks and roots compared to the teflon based clay grease.
Only time I raced Showshoe was in the rain. I had about 10 near death experiences in a single race run.
