Enduro format
Which enduro format do you prefer?
Start Control (AKA Restart) or Time Keeper (Original Format).

Enduro is timekeeping. No voting required.
Restart format makes it some thing else. Like a series of mini hare scrambles or something.
Not necessarily a bad thing, but don't call it an enduro.

Too bad about our Japanese friends, I bet that will be the last ya-MA-ha that they ever send over here!

FIM/ISDE rules. Ride your bike all day with some speed tests every once in awhile. To win you need to be fast (special tests), consistent (multiple tests) and smart (transfer sections, keeping the bike together.

I'm with you Jon! ISDE is international and a great format. But in GOAE (Good Old American Enduro) it used to be all about trying to finish and better yet finish while trying to stay on time.
(Keyword - Time)
New format is cool but should have had a new name!

It seems that there are enough other "go as fast as you can" type events, why do they need to screw up the timekeeping event?

Ride a hare scrambles if you want to moto in the woods.

I'm curious, how many of you have ridden a start control enduro with special tests (ie. WEC or ISDE rules)?

Rode a couple. The flyer said "Enduro", but in no way did these events represent the rich tradition and history of the sport. |

I went to a H/S and they had combined the two, restart enduro and a H/S. Came in on my first lap and they said go take a break. I'm like "WHAT", they said yeah come back when your minutes comes back up. I went back got a drink ate something gassed up and went back to the start. Then they started calling off numbers, when mine was up I got on the line and they said go???? Weird stuff I'm telling you. |
