Has anybody mentioned these yet? Santa cruz burgtec race team's latest video and there's a clipless pedal shown. Looks very close to crankbrother's eggbeater spring system.

If I was a pro EDR athlete that didn't want to or couldn't make the jump to DH at least part time, I'd be rollin as many of the mega mass start style events into my schedule as I could. The training is similar with pedaling power often a deciding factor in the outcome. The POV vids from the Megavalanche and its fellow mass start enduro style giant descent races are thrilling and the head to head nature of it is very exciting. Some of my favorite mtb vids this year were the head to head POV's from Killian Bron...

As someone who was there from the very beginning (okay EWS #2), I think the story arc of EWS/EDR is a bit more complex that people think, and that Chis Ball is not the boogie man some make him out to be. EWS was not just Chis Ball, it was a run by a board, with Chis as the most public facing member of the organization. Keep in mind that in 2013 enduro racing was seen as an exciting new sport (yes I know, it wasn't new in France and Italy) and the timing was perfect with new wheel sizes...

EWS went from "World" series to "European bike park" series. There were only 6 rounds in 2025 and they were in France, Italy, Poland, Austria, Italy again, and France again. They wanted to do live coverage like DH instead of the 25 minute recap videos that came out on Monday. So instead of going to another continent and actually making it a WORLD series, they just went to places they could stream it easier. I remember when they were doing big 2 day races in Chile, and how sick the trails and racing looked in Blue Derby. UCI and WB...

I went from an enduro die hard fan when EWS started back in the day, to barely checking results or coverage around 2024. Some of it is personal, when EWS started out, I had met a lot of the French pros at local/regional/national races, it was easy to root for your local teenager: Nicolai, Cure, Dailly, Tordo and the legends Barel and Vouilloz. Little by little they started to retire or get hurt and not perform quite as well, these days I only recognise a handful of the names in the top 10. Hate to bring up a sour subject...

They shouldn't have tried to make it in anyway live. Check out on YT the previous race coverage from 2018/2019 - you had Ric riding the stages before hand with Chris Ball (before he sold out) doing a preview, and then a what happened last time video and finally a results video - they were a much better format for coverage. Edit - when I say live I mean televised. Live timing results - definitely good.

Very hard to get a good coverage package compared to DH. It is also evolving into mini DH and DH with its coverage is 1,000% better and is a much more exciting format to watch. I hope it remains at the grassroots level, they are a blast with a pack of friends.
