I don't even know what to say, this has got to be one of the craziest combinations of technical riding and moto skills I've ever seen. Billy Bolt is a freaking animal.

That knack knack is awesome.

Looks like he is turning in the air in several clips. Freaky.

We were just talking about him last night and how he could take over the mantle from Jarvis. He's got the whole package.

Dear moto video maker guys. 99.8% of us are completely fed up w corona bs. We come here to get away and just watch some cool dirt bike stuff. Don’t put dramatic voice guy blabbing on about corona In a Billy Bolt vid. Show dudes riding dirt bikes way better than humanly possible, put engine sounds w no music. Mostly 2 strokes but a few 4’s mixed in for variety. Maybe a hot trophy girl or two at the end.

He's a genuinely multi-talented rider. Champ at extreme enduro and super enduro. He used to ride world championship trials and he's an excellent hill climber.

Ya know, every now and then I start to have the audacity to think that I might actually be decent at riding motorcycles, and then I watch a video like that and realize that never in a million year would I ever be able to scrape up the talent and necessary sac mass to even attempt 99% of those lines. My brain can't even fathom that level of bike control.

Wife and I have watched a ton of WESS over the past year (all free on Red Bull TV). Honestly in my opinion, pound for pound, I think the hard enduro guys are the best overall dirt bike riders on the planet.

The torch has been handed off, to Manuel Lettenbichler.

But these WESS top riders are unreal, Billy Bolt is nuts.

Yeah, when we were talking about Billy some of the guys picked Mani as the future. He finished Erzberg at the age of 16, which is hard to fathom. They will have some epic battles.

I've raced motocross, enduros, hare scrambles, WORCS, done a trials event, ridden flat-track, supermoto.

I look at hard enduro and think "I would die".

It's all about throttle and clutch control. Most guys who have raced any form all their lives will struggle greatly at first but can adapt pretty quickly. It's just hard to convince yourself that more throttle isn't always better.

If he had Tomac strength and stamina...with those insane skills, what could he do in MX or SX?

I'm honestly surprised that enduro doesn't get more traction on vital. It seems like there's a much bigger enduro/desert race scene at least out here in Utah, more people like riding enduro races than going around in circles on a track. it's just more fun. Even Kawasaki is getting in on the enduro segment now.

Hate to tell you but these guys got at least as much if not more stamina than MX racers.

You keep your eyes open for a healthy Billy Bolt. He’s a savage. He was supposed to come stay with Me and a buddy of mine this summer to ride but that’s all down the shitter now.

I’ve always been a Mx guy but I have to say if I had kids I’d try to steer them towards this type of riding. The skill is truly admirable and seems like the risk for serious injury is lower.

We’re hitting a spot where the “young guys” in hard enduro are taking over. I predict a major uptick in talent. Jarvis, Knight, etc. are fucking INCREDIBLE talents. But these young fellas are hanging with them. Throw in youth and you’ve got a recipe for mega results. Fair play to all of them. The technique and skill is second to none.

Have you seen Billy ride track? That kid rips. Way more skilled diverse rider than the average MX or SC pro. These guys have amazing conditioning and control. I ride with Jarvis, Bolt, Bolten, etc. They are savage as fuck.

It’s happening pretty quick. Billy and Manny are the future but there are a lot of other up and comers. If Pol Tarres can get some more race experience he’s gonna be a threat. Gomez and Roman are getting stronger. Graham is not going anywhere yet. He wants another Erzberg and Romaniacs win.

Well, and also I have to pay for parts myself. I hit something while I'm struggling greatly and I hear my credit card moaning. The the Voice of Reason says "Dude.. you're 58 years old... let it go." Smile

I think I _could_ do it- a mild Extreme- but I want a 2" shorter bike (I'm 5' 6") and someone else to pay for my pipes and cases and subframes and plastics and bars and grips.

When you said "dramatic voice guy babbling on about corona" I totally thought you were talking about British prime Minister Boris Johnson. Then, dramatic voice guy came on and started babbling on about corona. 🤣

Oh it gets expensive. I just snapped both side of my subframe on my TE 300 last weekend. Damn composite junk Laughing My wife is not a fan of my addiction, that's for sure!
