Northstar Enduro - California Enduro Series - Race VLOG Day 1

I finally had the opportunity to get up to Tahoe and race the Northstar Enduro!
2 days of mental and physical racing on some of the best trails in Northern California.
At the end of day 1 I was sitting in 4th place and I'm stoked on my performance.
I was only 1 second off the fastest Gypsy time of the day even with the crash.

I'll be splitting this up into 2 videos so stay tuned for pt. 2

00:00 Intro
01:01 Stage 1 - Woods to Deer Path - 6th fastest
13:48 Stage 2 - Gypsy - 3rd fastest
18:19 Stage 3 - Flameout - Karpiel - Speed Control - Lower Sticks & Stones - 7th fastest
24:13 Outro

I also raced it this weekend, and I love watching how you handle so well those dusty sandy rutted turns - I have lots of practice to do for next year!

Your thumbnail captures my Northstar memories: on the ground in a cloud of dust.

I think I've been doing the Woods wrong. I love the bottom half (below Tryumph) but I just can't get my head around the top half. The top of the trail seems way different on this video that what I remember from just last week or so; I thought there was a set of big rollers/single jumps at the beginning? Deer Path is horrible; that first turn with the row of rocks instead of a berm is ridiculous.

Dude, the thumb nail!! knock that shit off. Bad turn at 8:15 throws off rythm for 8:30. Almost 14 minute run, holy crap. I don't think my old legs could do it. 2nd run looked mostly good 🙃🤣

It’s almost like you’re not even on a bike, it so damn silent!!!!
