Kyle:
I teach a tutorial while I win an enduro race ... Easy . Congratulations
Haha Thanks! You guys actually helped me push hard for the win, i was like " coming second would be such a letdown for the video haha"
Me: can you walk us through to race enduro?
Kyle: here hold my beer 🍺!
When u were saying "Patience" what was the purpose of this? I enjoyed this video and I'm new to enduro style. Watching how u handled other riders on the track was also enlightening. Thanks you have a great channel and I'm sure learning alot
Indeed 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@darksidecarnival5385 I feel like he was saying it to keep him self composed through the turns, to not rush and then lose grip and speed. That's how I interpret it atleast
I'm still trying to process the fact that you got 1st in a pro race while doing a tutorial real time. Also I just wanted to say that your tutorials with April have helped me so much in becoming a better rider. Thanks
Thanks so much Danny! We are glad to be helping you guys too!
Danny has said it best, love the fact your talking to your audience while racing. Seriously great job. Agree, the vids w/ April helped me learn as she did. Love what your doing.
I hope you guys enjoy seeing what it looks like to race an Enduro! Let me know if you have any questions about anything at all! You guys rock!
Thats really nice of you! Thanks Ishmael, i think i like seeing the happiness and success of you guys just as much as riding so its a win win for me!
Congrats Kyle on winning each stage individually as well! Also job well done adding April to the channel. Wish you (and April) great success man.
Can you break down when/what determines suspension adjustment during the different stages?
Thanks for the line of sight reference as well. Always wondering if I'm looking too narrow or too far ahead.
Congrats on winning the race. Just wanna let you know that your tutorial helps me a lot learning how to ride. You guys rock!!!
Congrats! And thanks for the insights ... despite making it look fairly easy, due to the chill vibe your clip is putting out. 🤙🏻
Kyle is so humble lol. If I’d won 1st place and swept the boards with a whole 30+ second lead on 2nd place I’d be like hehehe ez win nerdz.
Haha! Thats awesome! Thanks, yeah i had a lot of fun and it felt good to win for you guys!
30+ seconds is the mind blowing part, Kyle is truly a class above 🤯
Absolutely smashed that race!
Kyle: "Didn't drove much because of edits and all.."
Results: 1. place in all categories and overall :)!
Love your humbleness and down to earth attitude!
Congrats on results! Thumbs up!
Thank you! Yeah it was cool to win haha, i actually felt like i had never cornered better and i think it was from spending all week editing the tutorials haha! You guys rock thanks for watching!
Dude you crushed it! Winning pro by 34sec while commentating?? Wow! Would love to see some more racing.
Thanks so much Alex! I had a blast and the thought of trying to win for you guys and this video definitely helped me push it haha!
Absolutely incredible! Kyle's a world class MTB'er, world class MTB instructor, humble, has great values, and is growing his and April's subscribers at a world class rate.......for good reason! Keep up the great work, best to you and April, stay safe and healthy!!!
Thank you so much JD :)
“So I ended up getting 1st place today which is really cool”.
This guy just narrated his way through 4 terrifying looking runs...and did it faster than anyone else at that. Lol late post but the skill level is impressive.
Haha thanks! I spent way too many years riding and racing. Its super fun but I am having a lot more fun nowadays with this channel. Its been fun to share this stuff with you guys!
Ditto's to all the comments! Dude you can really shred and you leave your ego at the door! Its so refreshing from this crazy world! More people can learn a lot more than MTB from you. Im really happy that you got to go out and do something at your level for you! Actually maybe that was below your level seeing that you took first so easily. Thanks for taken us along!
I appreciate that! Thank you so much for watching! I was really glad to be able to share this with you guys!
Amazing! How can one of the nicest guys in Mountain Biking ride soooo nasty! Nice work teaching while winning.
Haha thank you :) I always just try to remember that mtb is a small sport and there isn't a need to have an ego here
I feel like I'm going to crash watching your video. Damn man you landed the top spot on all trails! I'll be happy to absorb even just 25% of your skills!
Haha thank you Arjay! It was super fun to share this with you guys!
Talk about being humble! Kicking ass, coming in first place, and filming a training video for fans on CZcams! Good job Kyle!🤙
Anyone who doubts that “smooth is fast” should definitely watch your videos, your riding is so effortless looking.
Thanks Jeremy! Yeah it mostly comes from me being scared to crash and trying my best to work on technique over the years that is efficient, i think that i probably studied more than most over the years and thats why its been so cool to share this stuff with you guys!
All four stages, nice!
I like the camera angle, good "on the fly tips" as well.
The extra edit with the blur was a nice touch.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for watching!!
I had heard the tip elsewhere that said that the faster you go the farther ahead you look. The blur really hit home and made it more concrete to understand. 👍
Made me laugh there at 8:37 letting the guy know about you passing him on the inside..that is some serious level of skill and done so smoothly..amazing!
haha thank you!
All comments has these common thing: Sick rider, Nicest guy, super humble and ego left at the door! Bravo bravo!
Thanks Jimmy!! I really appreciate that, I just try to be normal haha!
Talking as you're teaching, riding, and winning. Jeez man... You're amazing! Congratulations!
Haha thanks! I love racing so much, nothing like being able to ride a track and know its gonna be clear
@@AprilRideMTB you're welcome. Continue on what you're doing. You're on the right track. Pun intended 😅
When your speed is soscaryfast rock gardens and drops just smooth out to nuthin'! Noice job Kyle!!
Haha thanks Michael! I spent way too much time riding bikes in highschool haha
Holy crap Kyle! So pinned! Your speed on stage 2 was scary fast! Especially though that nasty rock garden! Yew!
Thanks so much Paul! It was so fun to go fast again! Just glad i could share this with you guys!
I have no intention of racing enduro but I enjoyed listening to your thought process. In fact, I enjoyed the whole race so please keep doing them. Also, even though she wasn't in this race, you and April are just so darn cute together! Just a great team!
Thank you Dan!
Awesomeness.. congrats and thanks for taking us on the rides!
That was like best Enduro race watchOS ever on TV! Live commentary.. tips.. but also your reactions and times when you push.. Love that patience patience part!! :-) btw: watching you mid fly.. I was like 95% sure that it is very fast!! Like hard to imagine going faster in most of the parts!! Congrats! You are great coach and the same time great racer! April shall be proud! ;-) Cheers mate!

I enjoyed the behind the scenes peek; thanks for the share! Not only the advice about where to look down the trail, but the addition of the blurred out elements to highlight the clear center was very helpful and concrete, big thanks! Congratulations w the wins, WHILE also shooting a YT clip, that’s Pro+!
Thank you! I’m glad you can ride at speed and talk to us !
Haha yeah of course! Thank you for watching John!
Congrats Kyle! Amazing run. Thanks for sharing! Very good content as usual!
Thanks so much!
This was so awesome. I’ve been curious lately as to what enduro racing entailed and you definitely brought it to life for me. I especially liked how that particular race was organized with the chip and overall co Celt with the covid restrictions in place. I liked how you said “patience” while down riding that hill on those turns. I tell myself that on the interstate everyday. Lol. Loved the vids. Hope April had a great day that day as well.
Thanks Francisco! Yeah patience is hard for me too haha! Thanks so much for watching :)
Kyle, that was soooo smooth, you made it look easy. Good riding often doesn't look that quick and your comments about being "patient" are really valuable. For sure we missed April, but that was a great video and a RESULT!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for watching Bob!
That was awesome to watch! Congratulations!! Thanks for showing what you’re looking at. A great tip in a fun video.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching Gary!
Awesome clip once again Kyle. Smashed it down the tracks! super smooth and fast.
Thanks a ton! It was so fun to get out racing!
Awesome Kyle!😃😃😃Thanks for sharing this! Very enlightening. You were haulin'!!

Congratulations Kyle! That was extremely fun seeing you riding so smooth and explaining bits by bits and then you also winning all 4 stages! Wow! You are my hero!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks :)
Awesome job, Kyle. You killed it. Nice work. I appreciate all the tutorials and videos.
Thank you so much Luke!
Its crazy that you won the race and also is tutoring in the video. What a badass man. Your tutorials I just probably one of the best with no bullshit and theatricals. Just keeping it simple and real. Thanks man!
Would love to learn what you do with your suspension set up, Braking strategy, tire pressure etc.
dude you were quiet like a deer going down those trails...no tire noise. impressive. I was imagining myself hitting all those trees.
Haha Thanks 👍
Nice win brother!!! Congratulations!! Great video!

Congrats on 1st place while doing live commentary! 😎Your tutorials with April have helped me a ton, especially the braking exercise one, thanks!
Glad to help! Thanks for watching Steve!
I have become a HUGE fan of your page. Not only are you an excellent rider, you give some of, if not the, best instructions on youtube. I appreciate how patient you are with April and how humble you are with your ability. As a 44year old who is basically just getting starting, I really love your tutorials. Keep up the good work!!
Thanks so much Chad! We are trying really hard to just provide value to the community and keep that as the main focus. Its been so cool to see the response and its been really nice because we are building this community by being ourselves and not trying to "act" like anyone. We honestly had no idea it would grow to be a thing but we are really excited about it!
You are so RAD! Really exciting to watch a skilled rider in action! Keep up the great tutorial VO like showing us what your viewpoint is when sighting your lines. Cheers!
Thanks so much JP!!
Talk about practice what you preach. You do all these tutorials then back it up with a win, and an easy win at that. Just goes to show we are right to put our faith in your knowledge. Man you're fast. Top vids, top bloke
Thanks Craig!
Great job Kyle! I really enjoy these videos. I wrecked hard a few weeks back so I'm watching in anticipation of returning soon.
Oh no! Heal up soon! Thanks for watching!!!

Glad it was helpful!
Absolutely fantastic !!!!
Glad you like it! Thank you :)
