[QUOTE="UP Magoo, post: 1234566, member: 29635"] FWIW, I'll add my .02 --> I am in full support of keeping the FUN in the FES (I prefer to call them Kid's Enduros). The events should be timekeeping events. Computers must be prohibited. We need to keep the understanding of how an enduro works (timekeeping) in mind. A watch and an odometer is fine -- I rode enduros for 5 years this way -- and still feel more comfortable with my watch than the computer... Two loops is preferred. This keeps the fun in it for the young kids, and can still challenge the "bigger kids." Second loop can be higher speed average, more challenging trail, etc. All aspects of Enduro should be learned by participating in these events. Passing, being passed, and etiquette on the trail. At Enduros, I give faster riders fair opportunities to pass me, and fully 99% of the guys say "Thank You!" I'm shocked at the lack of cooperation at the Kids events. The idea is to give kids an opportunity to do what the Big Kids do. It is also to encourage newbies to have some fun, and graduate to real enduros. [I]I think these events are becoming MUCH too competitive.[/I] IMO, the emphasis should be on FUN and LEARNING, not on [I]competition[/I]. If you want to emphasize competition, C Class at an enduro isn't any harder than most FES Events. Trophies and year end awards should be for participants under the age of 18 ONLY. If you're over 18 and competing in an FES event, it should be for the learning experience that it is meant for. Maybe the top finishers in age 16+ classes should be mandated to go to C Class (like regular enduro riders get promoted from C to B and from B to A). [/QUOTE]
