Cole Kirkpatrick joins Woody for Episode 22.2 of the Seat Time Podcast . This has been a long time coming , as we ’ ve known Cole since his A Class TSCEC days ! 11 years after Cole ’ s last year following the entire National Enduro Series as a professional racer , he ’ s still winning local TSCEC enduros . That type of longevity , speed , and fun , seems hard to keep up with . We learn a few tips of the trade that the rest of us can try to apply for extra throttle twisting .
One topic that really interested us was what it felt like to be done as a professional racer . Cole spent five years , 2007-2011 , ch asing th e National Enduro Series , even riding on the Factory GasGas Team ( before KTM purchased them ), and then one day he knew he was done . That level of effort can take its toll on the body and the mind , it was really cool to get Cole ’ s take on that part of his life . He also lived with Russell Bobbitt and Kurt Caselli , if only there had been more time for more stories .
2022 marks th e fifth year th at Cole and Russell will be running Gnarly Routes , “ a riding experience that offers guests a riding vacation they
will never forget ”. Th ey find some locations and trails that most of us scout youtube for so we can salivate over the terrain . Reach out to them if you ’ re looking to follow along on th eir riding adventures from a first person point of view . We all know riding dirt bikes is way better in real life .
Enjoy # GettingSeattime and if we don ’ t see you on the trail , we ’ ll see you on the Internet .
