this is the most tarck conversation i’ve ever had. yes, i’m aware enduro exists. isn’t the uphill part of enduro untimed? that’s not what i want! i just want to see what i described. i’m aware it’s kind of like a bunch of things that already exist. but it’s not all of any of those things.

i think it would be sweet. my son and i came up with this idea. i hope they do it. i know they never will.

Was there a gas leak when you concocted this new discipline?

i would argue it is no stupider than front flipping an 80 foot cliff, which is not part of my discipline

I prefer this sport where we get nate riled up by making fun of his idea and watching him get more and more upset

Ooh! Ok, but now modify it to add land speed rules, after you do uppy-downy, you have to do downy-uppy, and your time is the average of the two.

so i do think the downhill time should be multiplied by like 3 or something. because if it takes you an hour to ride up and 7 minutes to come down, it’ll just be an xc race with a hard descent. so there has to be a multiplier

it’s called…redbull fastpage

I’m just leading you to the water that is having you acknowledge that your event would be unpopular and unwatchable based on what is currently failing and succeeding with the masses.

dude i watch cross country ski racing, you think i care about what’s popular?

in fact, if anyone could create an unpopular niche sport i’d argue i’m extremely qualified

i was going to do the roller ski race up whiteface mountain this year but had to go to a “wedding” which was really a lot less fun than smashing yourself into a hill for about an hour

i like it.

there’s no way to actually ride up that though, so more kinda like biathlon, free solo up (with a bike on your back, maybe the bike is on a ~30ft line so you gotta pick your path up based on that), free yolo down.

there’s worse sports.
