What to Wear:
While there’s no mandatory gear list for Enduro like there is for DH, Velo NB recommends a few key pieces to help protect you while you shred:
Helmet
Full-face helmet? Not required but highly recommended for added protection on the descents.
Protective Gear
Elbow, knee, shoulder & back protection (rigid is best)
Padding for shins and thighs
Full-finger gloves
Clothing
Long sleeves or short sleeves with arm protection
Long pants or shorts with proper knee coverage
This stuff isn’t required but it is smart. Ride with confidence, and protect the radness
FAQ: Can youth racers get help during their race?
Categories: U11, U13, U15
Yes—with limits! For our younger shredders, we’re all about support and independence.
A mentor can:
Be at the start line
Follow behind on the course
But they cannot:
Offer mechanical help
Push or pace
Interfere with other racers
Cheering and good vibes? Always welcome.

Let’s talk about the Super RAD Race Series
In 2022, 3 friends x 2 businesses came together to host the PROVINCE’S FIRST SANCTIONED ENDURO RACE event in 2023!
The first Super RAD Race hosted 115 racers that travelled from as far as Quebec to compete! and even more spectators…
In 2024, we added a 2nd race - DOWNHILL at Poley Mountain!
In 2026, we added a 3rd race - XCM to revive the Coal Miner’s Lung race in Minto!
With a dedicated crew of Volunteers, Sponsors, and Partners, the Super RAD Race Series #beastcoast has grown into a special kind of race event.
Come out to race or spectate, maybe get a tattoo, and celebrate the punk little sister of race events!
