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 😏).

2018 Beta 390RR-S Two year review
My 2018 Beta 390 RR-S doesn’t look as shiny after 2 years of hard riding and unfortunate repairs but I still have a soft spot for what really should be a great bike - If I could just keep it running.

The Secret way to record Sena Audio to your GoPro Hero 8 or 9
People frequently ask us how we manage to record the audio from our Sena 2-way radios into our GoPro videos. It’s actually a great question, and one that we asked ourselves for a long time too (before we’d figured it out, that is). It took us quite a bit of experimentation, trial and error (mostly error) and playing around with a ton of different settings, audio cables, and test rides before we nailed the concept. Now, we’re happy to be able to share with you exactly how to put this together for yourself, when it works well, and when the technique leaves something lacking (spoiler, the echo can be annoying).
All Day GoPro Battery - we show you how the pros do GoPro vlogging

All Day GoPro Battery - we show you how the pros do GoPro vlogging
Running a GoPro or other action camera on dirt bike rides is a big commitment. You’ve got to make sure it’s turned on at the right moments. You have to think about how far off your helmet it sticks out if your crashing through the bushes or ducking tree branches to avoid losing it to shrubbery. And of course, you’ve got to make sure it’s got power.
