Man that is way intense. I would like to see that in person, do they do anything like that in the states? It would be cool to try parts of that trail but I'm sure on most if not all of the that course I would just end up end up killing myself for sure. Lots of nice bikes...GASGAS, HUSABURG, BETA, and of course KTM and I'm sure more. Looks like the Europeans know the enduro's. Didn't see and jap bikes.:ne_nau:

I couldn't help but notice, it seemed like most of the bikes were 2 strokers.....that's very interesting to me.....i thought for sure a trail like that you would see all 4T's.....maybe it's a reliablity thing....? Whatever it is, this stuff is way COOL!! :2thumbs:

Yeah, lotta 2 smokers for sure. I think the weight factor is pretty big in these events. :eek2:

The interesting thing is that the indoor Endurocross has a lot of Kawasakis. Of course KTM rules the roost there, but still lots of Jap bikes. I wondered about the 2 strokes as well, but when a good portion of the event is picking the bike up and pushing it,
that weight difference is everything.:stud: Imagine doing that on a 450 or 500cc bike!:slobber:

Your just looking in the wrong area:lol8:
Try the mx track:fitz:

But everybody seems to be jumping into the orange cool-aid for some reason.
Just an envious jap bike owner.

However If I could afford to drop 10k on a trail bike I think I would lean towards a Beta myself.
