AA POV | 2025 BOONDOCKERS TSCEC | ENDURO | KTM 450 XCF-W

Ride along with me through the first part of test four on day two of the TSCEC Boondockers Enduro. My GoPro turned off midway through unexpectedly so that's why I don't have the whole test. It rained overnight and made for absolutely perfect conditions.

I've been battling a back injury that I sustained in August and this was my first time racing and riding with intensity in nearly ten weeks. I opted to ride the KTM 450 XCF-W since this enduro is a lot higher speed that some of the other ones. The 450 is also really easy for me to ride as I'm getting back into racing condition. A few setup things that helped me were a tall Seat Concepts seat and Enduro Engineering 5mm bar mounts. These aren't mods that I typically run but they really take some pressure off my back and have made a big difference for me lately. I finished P2 overall both days and was really pleased with how my body felt. The club did an outstanding job with the course and it was the most fun I've had on two wheels this year!
