The relatively young sport of enduro racing has attracted mountain biking's best athletes and become highly competitive - quickly. American athlete Curtis Keene was ranked 12th in last year's Enduro World Series. For him, that's not good enough. This video - from Red Bull TV - beautifully and thoroughly illustrates what it takes to hang, compete, and win in this grueling sport that athletes say is no safer than world cup downhill racing.

That's one of the best videos on racing I've seen in quite a while.

That guy is an incredible rider. He definitely has flow.

In a world where almost all bikes videos seem to have the same scenario and similar soundtracks I think this one's different and shows through another angle what biking at the highest level actually is.

Not many of us realize how much training, resilience, passion and sheer dedication it takes for racers to reach that international top ten.

Respect to all those who do it.
