    Kyle: I teach a tutorial while I win an enduro race ... Easy . Congratulations
  • @dannykim6243
    I'm still trying to process the fact that you got 1st in a pro race while doing a tutorial real time. Also I just wanted to say that your tutorials with April have helped me so much in becoming a better rider. Thanks
  • @den7492
    Kyle is so humble lol. If I’d won 1st place and swept the boards with a whole 30+ second lead on 2nd place I’d be like hehehe ez win nerdz.
  • @AprilRideMTB
    I hope you guys enjoy seeing what it looks like to race an Enduro! Let me know if you have any questions about anything at all! You guys rock!
  • @sas6045
    Kyle: "Didn't drove much because of edits and all.." Results: 1. place in all categories and overall :)! Love your humbleness and down to earth attitude! Congrats on results! Thumbs up!
  • @jddallager1699
    Absolutely incredible! Kyle's a world class MTB'er, world class MTB instructor, humble, has great values, and is growing his and April's subscribers at a world class rate.......for good reason! Keep up the great work, best to you and April, stay safe and healthy!!!
  • Dude you crushed it! Winning pro by 34sec while commentating?? Wow! Would love to see some more racing.
  • @mcgeek4781
    “So I ended up getting 1st place today which is really cool”. This guy just narrated his way through 4 terrifying looking runs...and did it faster than anyone else at that. Lol late post but the skill level is impressive.
  • @ffdar9119
    Ditto's to all the comments! Dude you can really shred and you leave your ego at the door! Its so refreshing from this crazy world! More people can learn a lot more than MTB from you. Im really happy that you got to go out and do something at your level for you! Actually maybe that was below your level seeing that you took first so easily. Thanks for taken us along!
  • @donaldduck4867
    Talk about being humble! Kicking ass, coming in first place, and filming a training video for fans on YouTube! Good job Kyle!🤙
  • @jimmysingh6240
    All comments has these common thing: Sick rider, Nicest guy, super humble and ego left at the door! Bravo bravo!
  • @danreed2189
    I have no intention of racing enduro but I enjoyed listening to your thought process. In fact, I enjoyed the whole race so please keep doing them. Also, even though she wasn't in this race, you and April are just so darn cute together! Just a great team!
  • @craigmurray2823
    Talk about practice what you preach. You do all these tutorials then back it up with a win, and an easy win at that. Just goes to show we are right to put our faith in your knowledge. Man you're fast. Top vids, top bloke
  • @jinda8897
    I feel like I'm going to crash watching your video. Damn man you landed the top spot on all trails! I'll be happy to absorb even just 25% of your skills!
  • @AFugax
    Amazing! How can one of the nicest guys in Mountain Biking ride soooo nasty! Nice work teaching while winning.
  • @ww8wv1
    Anyone who doubts that “smooth is fast” should definitely watch your videos, your riding is so effortless looking.
  • @lamefart8831
    Talking as you're teaching, riding, and winning. Jeez man... You're amazing! Congratulations!
  • Holy crap Kyle! So pinned! Your speed on stage 2 was scary fast! Especially though that nasty rock garden! Yew!
  • @wheeliegeezer
    Oh dude blurring parts of the screen to show where you're looking was a brilliant idea. Helped tons as I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Been learning a lot from your other videos as well. Keep up the great work!
