Not only did I get to race against Barry Hawk at the US Sprint Enduro , but I got to interview him after the fact as to why he’s so much better than me as a racer. Some may not want to revel in their defeat, but me, I want to learn from it! Barry Hawk breaks down what he learned when riders Juha Salminen and David Knight came over to race the GNCC Series. He learned quickly that they were getting the speed on course due to their “european lines”. At that time, he was riding lines like I did, mor...

If you’ve kept up with the Seat Time videos, you know the Astra Offroad Handlebars I had on the Sherco were one of the parts that truly changed the way I rode the two stroke. When I got on the GasGas, I knew I also wanted to ride with the low-rise Astra handlebars. I learned the hard way that the weight and rotating mass of a four stroke changes the handling characteristics of the motorcycle, creating the need for a higher rise handlebars than I previously thought. In this video, I discuss the t...

The White Rock Enduro was exactly what I was looking for in a technical enduro. The roads were dusty, but the rocks and roots in the trail were still slick as all get out. I was on row 28 again, this time following Dylan Souther from Colorado. We went back and forth all day. When it got tight, I would catch and pass him. The other times, he would either out ride me, or I would crash myself into oblivion. Run Time on the Sherco at the 2024 White Rock Enduro was 4:28 & the miles were at 67.6. ...

Ricky Russell and I first got to hang out WAYYY back in 2013 at the Big Sky XC National Championship. Crazy reminder that I've been doing this for A LONG TIME! Ricky grew up in the Pacific North West, and I REALLY want to ride my dirt bike there one day. It sounds like he's down for a guided tour. Let's see if we can talk him into it. As a professional racer, he's not extremely picky, but he does have some small adjustments that make his bike his setup. He also recommends not flipping your YZ450...

There’s no denying that Trystan Hart is now one of the top Hard Enduro racers around the world. He’s been riding for the FMF KTM Factory Offroad Racing Team since 2020, all while steadily gathering podiums, building confidence, and winning high profile events. It was fun to hear him describe himself as steady, and someone like Billy Bolt as Flashy. I very much agree! This podcast episode dug a bit deeper in the back story of Trystan and his early motocross journey. It was cool to hear that Loret...

It's even cooler to hear that he chose this route, knowing he wanted to have certain life experiences while he could; He doesn't want to live a life of regrets.

So for the September podcast episode of Seat Time, Morgan and I chat through the untold stories of the Shady Burro Enduro. My biggest question was how the conditions felt to a Colorado rider. It was interesting to hear Morgan’s response, that they’re used to dry, dusty conditions. So what we experienced this year at The Burro is an uncommon element to deal with. As...

Even when he started from the second row in the second Super Endurocross moto, he still quickly made his way to the front to control the race. He was excited, far from "pissed" and sounds ready for Prescott. The Endurocross tracks have continued to evolve as the 2021 Series has progressed. They have had more dirt to utilize, which has...
