Welcome to the offical blog of Extreme Sports WannaBes! In these articles you'll find tips, advice, how tos, product reviews, and tons of other information all about Enduro riding, the unique chin mounts we make, and our experiences as riders, vloggers, and YouTubers. Many of our articles have companion YouTube videos if you'd rather watch than read the info we're covering.

We also typically write-up short summaries of our podcast episodes. You can find the full episodes on your favorite podcasting platform (eg, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, etc) or on our YouTube channel under the Playlist "Mobcast".

We love engagement, so if you have an idea, want to ask a question, or think we're wrong about something, please don't hesitate to drop a comment, message us via the webchat, send us an email, or find us on Instagram. We're pretty responsive (unless you're a troll 😏).

I pointed out in my first ride video for my KTM 500EXC-F that the bike had a tendency to flame out quite a bit more than I thought it should, and after adding the GET ECU, I had a few issues restarting the beast.
