This week we got the chance to talk with Australia’s GNCC and USSE weapon Gus Riordan from FMF KTM Factory Racing Landers. Gus is a wicked fast young rider who is currently sitting 2nd in XC2 at GNCC and 1st in the US Sprint Enduro Series Pro2 class. Definitely expect to see Gus representing Australia on their World Junior Trophy Team at ISDE later this year!

We covered a pretty wide range of topics including his path to the pros here in North America, racing at the front-end of the Hattah Desert Race, GNCC, USSE, Endurocross, training, nutrition, and more. For sure check this episode out for a bit of that international flavour! Also, Gus is the second Aussie we’ve had on the podcast and is also the second Aussie on the podcast to not know who INXS are… Just sayin’…

Hey there! It’s been a minute, but we’re back! It’s been a busy start to the Canadian season for Noel, Courtney and Jared but the ship is sailing once again… For better or for worse. In episode 9 we catch up with what we’ve been up to, we talk about the last month in off-road racing, Jared and Courtney’s SOR Enduro Championship Series, and all sorts of other cool stuff. Glad to be back in the saddle here, and we’re so appreciative of all the support we’ve been getting!

Hey hey! It’s Episode 8 of The Enduro Bureau Podcast and this week Noel sat down with 2023 US Hard Enduro Women’s champ and 2023 Endurocross third overall Pro woman Hallie Marks from Sisters Moto and Sherco USA! We chatted with Hallie about, among other things, her Hard Enduro championship, her Endurocross series battles with Rachel Gutish & Melissa Harten, her change in focus towards Endurocross for 2024, and lots more.

Hey! We’re back with Episode 7 of The Enduro Bureau Podcast and this week our guest is Hard Enduro young gun Branden Petrie from the Sherco Enduro Team! We talked with Branden about, among other things, his entry into the sport, his progression to the Pro ranks (including a funny story about when he started living and training with Trystan Hart), and his broken back injury from Round 4 of the 2023 AMA Endurocross series.

Welcome to Episode 06 of The Enduro Bureau Podcast with Noel, Courtney & Jared. This week we had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with none other than Shelby Turner just a few days after this Enduro superstar took home her first GNCC win! This 6x AMA Endurocross champ, 6x ISDE gold medal winner, 3x Canadian Off-Road champ, 3x Western Canadian MX champ, and 1x US Hard Enduro champ covered a lot of ground with us this week. From her winning GNCC ride after coming back from double knee surgery, to her history of riding pretty much every Enduro series there is and her hopes for a Canadian women’s trophy finish at ISDE Spain, and lots more, it was an incredible talk with one of the most successful multi-discipline women’s off-road riders there is!

Hey! It’s Episode 05 of The Enduro Bureau Podcast and this week Noel, Courtney & Jared spent time hanging out with Australian hard enduro rider Will Riordan from GasGas Factory Racing. Even though though he doesn’t know the quintessential Aussie 80’s band INXS we don’t hold it against him, and still think he’s a great young talent who’s on his way to the top. We chatted about his transition from MX to hard enduro, his move to the U.S.A, his GNCC XC2 racing brother Gus, bike setup, training regime, and more! Oh, and if you listen to the end there might be a bit of a deal on USWE gear courtesy of Will…

He’s the Director of Red Bull Outliers, a successful international racer in enduro, hard enduro, xc, and motocross. He runs RAD 2.0, a race and athlete development business, and he’s a pretty awesome all-around guy. We cover the development and evolution of Outliers, his history in the sport, and lots more!
