Love riding technical all mountain trails, stoked to see my kind of riding become a race series in the US this year – Enduro! My 2013 goal is to podium in as many Enduro and Super D races this season (with some light Downhill thrown in) as possible. Currently training hard for the season (local Gretna trails with Strava, MTB specific training at gym from trainer Ben Claus). Euan Nyguist:

-3rd 2010 Vertical Earth Enduro Downhill. The above is my only racing experience. bike experience, pushing my limits, and chasing my brother. I’m really stoked for my first real race season. My goal is to dominate CAT 2 and to either be bumped up to CAT 1 or be ready for it next year.

56 years old and still rippin'. Moving onto Enduro's Cat I 40 plus. I plan to attend as many as feasible. I cannot remember all of details of podium results....to many and I don't keep track of them. I won small venues to Nationals,but one I do recall, and most memorable, was 11th overall at US Open 06 out of I believe 150 riders in amateur at 49 years old!
