Wow!

 He made that track smooth and easy and we all know it not smooth or easy.

I am not a enduro guy but this superpole format is really cool. French offseason SX races had the same thing. Awesome to watch.

Amazing stuff. I wouldn't even try to do a lap on that track!

Got to love Billy, absolute ripper.

Hauls on a motocross track and all, the level of bike control right across the board is just something else isn't it, slow, fast, however gnarly the terrain is, makes no odds to him, mental.

Seriously.

I mean most guys who are competing at the tip top of any dirt bike discipline have some level of "speed", clearly.  But Billy came from trials and now not only is he one of the best technical riders in the world....he has straight up world class SPEED too.  He hurt some feelings in the paddock when he came out and smoked most the dudes who race Enduro GP for a living a few years ago, those guys are sprinting specialists and ol' Billy just jumped right in no problem.

Unreal talent.

If  you have seen videos of him riding some practice tracks, I don't think he would have a problem making a 450SX main.

He’s had some pretty bad injuries also I know he has no feeling in his one foot and has hard time feeling and shifting I think. And when he was a kid he was out riding a mini bike out in his dads work place parking lot and he just drop the bike down and with out thinking went and picked it up and lost lost a finger or two in the chain and sprocket

Cody Webb tried doing a few Arenacross Races the other year. Billy may fair a bit better, but SX main events are a bit tougher than they look on tv.

Dunno about supercross but he said himself he'd like to race GNCC. I'd like to see that happen.

I agree Billy is the best overall rider In world right now.  Supercross might be a stretch but he could have a good go at outdoor Nationals I think! So well rounded and a funny bloke at that. I really enjoy watching him ride!

I watch their series guite often on tv. It amazes me that they can build a rear wheel that can hold up to the abuse he dishes out. They use alot of square edged concrete blocks, not jersey barriers, and he just slams into them. Amazing talent.

I've thought that same thing watching him ride, I wonder how many hoops he goes through in a year?  Especially since he's typically on a "soft" mousse I would assume and mousses (even regular firmness) leave your rim more exposed to damage than normal tubes.

I would pay to go to see that race.

He would be a contender for sure in a woods style race. 

Even at a Worcs race think he would be a contender in the pro class.

He is a beast. 
 

SX, don’t think so but every other discipline yes!

He's done a GNCC Style event at Hawkstone Park before and done well from what I can remember.  This was a few years back and I think his straight up speed has only gotten better since then.

I don't think he could beat most the "top guys" at a GNCC on his first try but I do think he'd run toward the front of the pack....top 10ish.

Billy is possibly the best moto (and definitely enduro) vlogger out there. 
 

Mani Lettenbichler is the top of the extreme enduro mountain and Billy the top of the Super Enduro mountain. Both amazing riders and still young. Great personalities. Bike skills off the charts

Props to Billy for avoiding Mani. Could have been nasty.

If it wasn’t for BBolt how many titles would Jonny Walker have?

It seems like the wins are shared by BBolt, JWalker & MLettenbichler, it’s weird that they all seem to get along, none of the standoffish in other bike disciplines

Is he riding a 350 or 450? Either way, incredible speed over such knarly terrain/obstacles.

350f for SuperEnduro but interestingly Mani switched from an f to a 2 stroke halfway through the season.

This is BB's last season ride.

It has always been that way in enduro/offroad.

99% of the real enduro (not gncc and scramble) have individual starts so you compete against your self more or less and not racing for position.

I think that part help the riders be friends a lot. And when it comes to the hard enduro races, you race against the track, not the other riders.

No pro racer is having as much fun as Billy seems too.
