Wow I'm glad the trails we have are not that tight, I would never make it there.

If this guys is "good" enough to enter and race enduros... hell maybe i should do it as well... Ya know what boggled my mind the most... almost everytime he crashed he wasnt even into the throttle, so its not like the bike was launching or lowsidng around corners.... wow.... he was bad.

I just rode a ktm 450 exc with studded tires in 5" of snow yesterday.... that bike is nuts.....plain nutz!!! **Mental note, KTM still gets vertical very fast with studded tires in snow.....

As incredible as KTM's are, I bet the KLX would do alot better on trails like that. Lower bike with lower center of gravity is definitely a plus. I followed some Quads on a trail like that and they lost me quick but the KLX excells in that environment IMO.

Wow! I don't know what to say....just...WOW! I'd like tothinks it's just lack of skill, but I think stupid might figure into the puzzle somewhere. It bogglesmy mind trying to figure out how he managed to crash in some of those spots.

That guy need to watch a trail riding 101 video. He doesn't even try to go over logs at a 90 degree angle. If you don't hit them nearly perpendicular, thats almost a guaranteed fall every time - atleast for me anyways...

I thought it was funny, I think it was meant to be a blooper reel.
