What kind of person races dirt bikes through the woods on purpose?

Meet Nate Meily—a full-time professional and weekend warrior who races Enduro and hair scramble dirt bike competitions up and down the East Coast.

In this hilarious and surprisingly deep episode, we break down what makes Enduro racing one of the most intense and misunderstood motorsports. Nate shares what it takes to compete, why flow matters more than speed, and how a chest protector once saved him from disaster.

We talk training, injuries, mental strategy, gear upgrades, and what happens when you burn a checkpoint and almost cost your best friend a championship. This one is raw, funny, and full of life lessons from the track.

⛓ Topics include:

  • Enduro vs. Hair Scramble: What’s the difference?
  • Why arm pump is the worst
  • How fast is too fast through the woods
  • Prepping your body and bike
  • Lessons from crashes and comebacks
  • The power of community in high-risk hobbies
  • Why endurance matters more than horsepower
  • What makes a good racer (and what doesn’t)

Whether you love racing, live for a weekend thrill, or just appreciate people chasing weird passions… this one’s worth the ride.
