@nobeer, i would say hater is a bit harsh. I do actually follow enduro and watch the SES and EWS videos as they come up.
I’d love a go, but as posted on another thread, any events that would be easy enough technically for me (i’ve never claimed not to be ****) also seem to be so short i’d be done in under 2hrs.
Couple that with the fact most enduroists seem to see crashing as all part of the fun, and pedally stages despised (pretty much the polar opposite of my thoughts) then maybe they are just not for me.
But regardless of all that, i find it hard to criticise a series thats clearly trying hard to make itself the premier UK series for focussing on the racing aspect rather than the social side. Serious racing events are needed for people to progress now that being an EWS rider could actually be a valid career choice for the very best.
I totally appreciate that part of what makes enduro so popular is the social side, which is why i said that how things are evolving may not actually be for the best for many riders.
