I’ve done so many of those type of races They are brutal but fortunately I have never been helped by any track assistant. I absolutely love the electric start saved your ass when you’re tired and on the side of a hill.
LostInPA watch 5:30 once he loses momentum instead of going straight up he tries to go from side to side as climbing it straight on doesnt work unless you have a run up.
Ok. Yeah I think I fight these too long and get worn out. It would be better to find a different line or go back down. Hard to remember in the heat of the moment.
Slow and steady wins the race. No need to be the fastest on these races, but the most consistent. Passing on an enduro course is basically just smashing into someone or cutting in line when people are waiting to climb. How well a rider does in these races does seem to depend on how much help he can receive from spectators. I don't know how i feel about that. I never see Jarvis receiving help, though.
They are full factory issue imaginary bush fairy deflectors. You know when youve hit one cause they are completely mangled and farked but they look good. 8^)
he definitely got bogged down on the uphill and more technical stuff. If it weren't for the people who helped him, the results might've had a different outcome. Still a nice ride!
Aleks Nestserau have you ever gone for a muddy ride then wondered at the end how your chain, discs etc are surprisingly clean? As you move chains and disc move aswell tue faster you go the harder they move and they fling off dirt etc.
matt courtney you sure about that ? Id be surprised if he's using a 250, not because its not good enough, 250. but these guys especially the Factory guys use every advantage they have on offer competing against the best riders, like Jarvis, Walker, Manny etc, Id be very surprised if he's used a 250 at any event this year. fwiw.
I saw it on the final results from the race. pretty sure he and blake gutzeit were the only guys on 250s to finish in Austria. seems like the terrain at romainiacs would be better suited for a 300 though. all those slow, switchback climbs. that looks brutal.
matt courtney yeah interesting and highly unusual, not saying you are wrong, makes me wonder if a typo in results sheets which is common, but hey you might be right. I would have also thought for they're skill level they'd opt for the 300 for its low end power over the 250 hard Enduro is won and lost on the hills, though here Wade was clearly fastest in the fast open areas, so maybe you are right, he was passed on the hills quite a few times by Manny and Johnny. would be good to have it confirmned, I am a 250 guy myself, but I don't have they're skills I know my limits, I can ride a 300, but I cant truly ride a 300 if you know what I mean. 🤘
This event only just happened thats why majority of the stuff at first were just teasers. Watch the 2017 WESS you can watch the prologue and main event as they upload the exact same show they used for tv. They also upload a 30 minute "recap"
If you wanted you can literally watch a certain rider do the prologue etc and then you can watch his main day race etc all on go pro. Or you could watch the redbull tv show where they cover the entire race.
The go pro footage is uploaded to their channel. Graham jarvis etc all have their own channels. Tbh i prefer watching the tv coverage of the event so you can see where other competitors are etc and i also like watching prolugue and recap etc. If you're just looking for gopro footage better off searching the riders channel as redbull tries to cover the whole event rather then give a few dudes go pros and upload that. Redbull monitors the front of the pack its way better watching people challenge eachother where as go pros dont show where the competitors are etc.
So basically without spectators’ help he wouldn’t be that fast. Or maybe wouldn’t be able to complete the race at all. That’s sort of dodgy. I agree with Tim Coleman here that it’s a contest in pushing the bike more than anything else.
Only ones complaining are the losers or those that dont finish. Not ONE person in the Gold class didnt have some sort of help in this race FACT. Most will agree who were in Romania that Wade was one of the few who needed the least amount of help by everyone there. Maybe Tim should spend more time in ugly ass single track terain and less time making those cute CZcams trick videos.
As skilled as Tim Coleman is he’s never won this race or any other major hard enduro, so stop discounting how hard all the riders of any of these hard enduros work. Wade Young is an amazing rider and would school you everyday of the week. You’ve got some big balls trying downplay the skill level of the guy who just won Romaniacs.
Spectators helping is common af. Most spots are just ridiculously hard thats why. Erzberg has "no help" zones where the riders are on their own but the terrain is very easy compared to what they're use to...
If riders of wy's skill have to bark for folks to pull them then you have an unfair playing field and poorly laid out event, would KTM support people pull me over obstetrical s on my Yamaha? Jarvis and Taddy quit the event, wtf? It seems more of a competition of who can make the ugliest coarse! I say all outside help is eliminated or your DQ'd.
Here we go again have you ever seen a hard enduro where they don't get some help NO spectators help in hard enduro you are correct though these people that make the courses are getting a little ridiculous
The two-stroke sound is music to my ears! 😍
Manny flying past on those hills, such skill and technique is awesome to watch, big respect to all riders, many thanks
Many, many thanks! These POV views are the absolute best way to see the trails!
BIG respect for this course and riders. Thanks for the footage Wade
What a fantastic performance!!
I'm sweating just watching this! Good job.
I’ve done so many of those type of races They are brutal but fortunately I have never been helped by any track assistant. I absolutely love the electric start saved your ass when you’re tired and on the side of a hill.
Wade's a beast! Love the forest
good drive
Stunning stuff, any idea what tyre wade and the rest where using? Mitas ef07?
yeh Wade's on the EF-07
SKIDS n STUFF cool it's a game changer in wet forest/rock but doesn't hook up very well on wet grass so interesting choice.
Cheers wade brill vid good riding to.🇬🇧👍looks to hardcore for me tbh.🙈
Great riding. Is this a carb Sherco?
Do you know tpi sherco ?😄
If you had a massive of on some of the in spectator part with no marshals. Would you just be considered dead if you didn't make the check points?
What’s the best way to get over a tall root when going uphill and stuck against it?
LostInPA watch 5:30 once he loses momentum instead of going straight up he tries to go from side to side as climbing it straight on doesnt work unless you have a run up.
LostInPA Go back down start again more speed lean forward Do what we call “pin it”.
Ok. Yeah I think I fight these too long and get worn out. It would be better to find a different line or go back down. Hard to remember in the heat of the moment.
Wheres is the hard ways on it?

17:15 Hammer drop! Boom!
Sorry travis m8 but I was watching that
recluse!
Looks like Washington state. got to love roots on a hill climb. Got to have real bark busters, not those brush guards.
Plethman Channel That’s for sure hard to finish with a broken hand or finger bark busters have saved me many races
They are full factory issue imaginary bush fairy deflectors. You know when youve hit one cause they are completely mangled and farked but they look good. 8^)

First
bhaut BANIA banata raho
Does anyone know why his brakes squeak so much?
DrTrevorP Most likely due to accumulated mud on the routers.
Heat from use, it’s common
Aleks Nestserau brake pads make direct contact with the brake disc any water/mud etc is going to be wiped off.
Aleks Nestserau also chains, brake disc etc are all spinning parts meaning any mud etc has trouble staying on them as they fling it off.
Aleks Nestserau have you ever gone for a muddy ride then wondered at the end how your chain, discs etc are surprisingly clean? As you move chains and disc move aswell tue faster you go the harder they move and they fling off dirt etc.
15"'40..
Is he ridding 250 or 300 sherco ?
Enduro Kysuce 300, most if not all the gold riders will be on 300s.
enduro kysuce. I don't know what he was on in this vid. he rode a 250 at erzberg earlier this year.
matt courtney you sure about that ?
Id be surprised if he's using a 250, not because its not good enough, 250. but these guys especially the Factory guys use every advantage they have on offer competing against the best riders, like Jarvis, Walker, Manny etc, Id be very surprised if he's used a 250 at any event this year. fwiw.

redbull finally put some helmet cam footage up that isn't 4min and edited to hell 🙏
JUSES CHIRST theres heaps...this event literally only happened on the weekend if you want better footage look up last years WESS
This event only just happened thats why majority of the stuff at first were just teasers. Watch the 2017 WESS you can watch the prologue and main event as they upload the exact same show they used for tv. They also upload a 30 minute "recap"
If you wanted you can literally watch a certain rider do the prologue etc and then you can watch his main day race etc all on go pro. Or you could watch the redbull tv show where they cover the entire race.
If you're not interested in the tv parts and more just raw go pro footage find the actual rider lmao.
The go pro footage is uploaded to their channel. Graham jarvis etc all have their own channels.

Love the "Fuck you" he shouts at the dudes parked on the trail at 2:33
Fucking tree!!! ;-)

Without spectators (or sometimes other riders) help they would all still be in that forest.
Spectators helping is common af. Most spots are just ridiculously hard thats why. Erzberg has "no help" zones where the riders are on their own but the terrain is very easy compared to what they're use to...
Everyone gets help. Hell erzberg is the most common for it yet out of 500 riders barely 10 finish every year even with the assistance available...
Bronze and iron class don't ride the exact same course they have an easier route
lost some respect for race and wy
James Cox How come?
If riders of wy's skill have to bark for folks to pull them then you have an unfair playing field and poorly laid out event, would KTM support people pull me over obstetrical s on my Yamaha? Jarvis and Taddy quit the event, wtf? It seems more of a competition of who can make the ugliest coarse! I say all outside help is eliminated or your DQ'd.
