Go on board with top enduro/hare scramble rider Mike Lafferty at the Delaware Enduro Riders Hare Scramble at the Blue Diamond MX Park in New Castle, Delaware.

NOTE: It was a muddy hare scramble and Mike didn't get the greatest of starts (you'll see why) so a good portion of this video is mostly mud covered. I need to find if they make helmet cam tearoffs. Haha!

Awesome! I really thought you would loose it, but it came out sweet.

It's actually a 54 minute video cut down to 4:26. Not sure if everyone would like to see 50+ minutes of mud splattered all over the camera. Smile

Mike did win that event, too. It's crazy how fast he does down that straight after the 1st turn and already catches up to the group. All you hear is pinned and shifting.

Who taught him how to start? I was expecting to see great stuff then we lost the footage... someone get production on the phone!

Excellent stuff for the minute we got to see.

Hmmm...helmet cam tearoffs....

NASCAR uses a roll-off system on their external car cams. The whole thing is a rediculously small package.

Not sure anybody wants to add to the weight of their helmet, especially during a mud event, but it's nice to know the technology exists.

Alot is a understatement, he was leading by the start of the second lap. There was quite a bit of comp. out there to. It was amazing to see how fast a top offroad racer can go.

He was on a electric start Husaberg. Looks like it didn't ignite quicker than the 2 strokes on the line.

Mike passed me like I was standing still in the woods nonetheless. Same goes for Stoner. Gave Palmer a run for his money. By that I mean he actually had to give me a yell. At least he was gracious enough to give me a 'Woo Hoo' as he went by.

That was a great race. Hell of a race to choose for my step up to B and my first one back in quite awhile. Awesome video of the whole day Matt.
