Broc Hepler Racing again! Sprint Enduro

I was just about to post this! I was surprised at how many mistakes were located in the article itself though.

Sprint enduro. Are these just shortened gncc like events ?

It wasn't a sprint enduro it was the Rattlesnake NEPG National Enduro yesterday

I would be happy to take 10th behind the crew in the top 9 at that race...they're all animals!

From what I read, they are multiple timed tests over the same one or two courses. Image 4 times each on two different 15-20 minute (for the AA guys) tests. We were scheduled to have one out here in CA but the venue (The Ranch at Anza) got shut down again. The videos that I have seen seem to be everything from moto to grass track, single track and GNCC type terrain.

This was an NEPG enduro, or national enduro. In these events riders usually are faced with one big loop broken up with transfer sections, gas stops. Riders check in with the other riders on their minute ( only 1 pro can be on a minute ). Once checked in a rider races the section which could be pretty much anything as far as terrain and also vary in length. What makes these different than other forms of racing is that a rider usually only sees the terrain once which places value in ability to read trail quickly and efficiently.

A Sprint Enduro is like Supercross compared to Motocross. Usually it's set up in a small area to be spectator friendly. There will be three or four different short loops, ten to fifteen minutes. Most will have a grass track, woods trail, and extreme test sections. A rider has to complete each loop three or four times depending on class.

In the days of old, a real enduro was like the first example with the added challenge of timekeeping. There could be surprise checks to make sure you weren't checking in to a section early to gain advantage. Or emergency checks in sections where it was just about possible to stay on your minute, in these you wanted to check out exactly 30 seconds into your minute with penalty points taken for each second away from that. This form of event was super challenging both physically and mentally. The A.D.D. Generation racing now has no patience for these types of events, and unfortunately they'll never know what they missed.
