Well, not quite the start to the 2025 enduro season I was hoping for, but at least I stuck it out!
I was having a pretty smooth run down stage 1, until I clipped a stump that violently ejected me to the ground, just a few moments before the finish line.
I was left with a broken crank, sore neck and the thought that I was done for the whole race.
Fortunately my friend encouraged me to swap cranks off his bike and get back into it.
So after some crank surgery in the parking lot, that's just what I did. I was in survival mode the rest of the race, just wanting to finish without anymore crazy incidents.
Just missed the podium by about 30 seconds, which I guess isn't too bad, all things considered.
Let's hope the next race goes a little bit smoother!
Thanks to:
for making a rad bike
for keeping the squishy bits running smooth
for awesome stoppers
for making a carbon crank that can take some amazing abuse
for making a pedal that will break the crank before breaking the pedal
for dope 📷
