    I love watching some g-force helmet cam. That course is a killer, not for me either :rolleyes: Surprised to hear him stall, would have thought Rekluse for sure.

    From the perspective of a novice rider, that course was simply cruel. My testicles filed official protest while I was watching the video!

    I saw one obvious thing there, none of that was enduro it was all trials oriented.
    Oh my legs need to be longer but i would give it my best shot. Probably pack a spare clutch and oil for the half way burn out lol.

    Jarvis fell twice... He isnt a robot after all.

    If the bike is gear correct the clutch will last. I ran the same clutch for 2 years at KOM plus a lot of other riding on a 125/165 where you use the clutch a lot Hey Walt how is the clutch holding up in the bike I sold you OK next reason you guys wont come

Ive done ugly sections like that....and can do it......just never that freakin long, throw a 50 yard ugly section in....but that was hellbound long and stupid steep!! thats why he gets paid to do those things all over the world!! glad we can that stuff from his point of view!!

    In my opinion these riders fitness level is hugely underestimated!
    Using the correct technique obviously also helps in not totally wearing yourself out.

    Way above my skill level, much respect!
