Jerome Clementz The Precepts Of Enduro

About Jérôme Clementz
Jérôme has been riding bikes for as long as one can remember. Racing both XC and DH when younger, he soon got bored with riding the same loop all afternoon or queuing for gondolas and decided to ride his own way, up and down the “Vosges” mountains range where he lives, before Enduro was called Enduro. He’s won all major Enduro events since, including the Megavalanche in l’Alpe d’Huez twice.
About the Clementz precepts and the origin of Enduro
Besides teaching a number of principles for living, Enduro also provides standards for putting these principles into practice. These standards are called precepts, or rules of discipline. So that these standards would not lapse into rigid ritualism, consideration was given to the times, the society, the culture and customs of the region in which Enduro was being practiced. This concept that speaks of Enduro’s natural flexibility in adapting to the land and culture to which it spreads eventually became known as the Clementz precepts of the Enduro Order...
The legend of the Bluegrass Eagle
The origin of the legend of the Bluegrass Eagle has been lost in the passage of time. It is said that the Bluegrass Eagle won the "Thousand Worlds War" long before man mastered the creation of fire. Possessing supernatural powers, it could transform its plumage into an impenetrable carapace. Its spirit, noble and free, has inspired our range of helmets and protective gear.

2012 Boxxer/Zerode Team At The Australian National Championships In Adelaide
National Champs glory evaded us this year; Tim and Henry both had runs that were not their best and placed 12th and 8th respectively. Far from bad results, but also not what they were aiming for or capable of; some days, it just doesn't go your way.
Marcus was fast in the final, and looking back through the times was 7th at the intermediate split, but unfortunately put it into the dirt 2/3rds track distance, he recovered and pedalled hard through to the finish to salvage a 16th position.
As they say, 'that's racing', and we'll be back again to take another shot at it next year.

About the MET “on a shoestring” video series
The ON A SHOESTRING video series certainly isn’t a travel guide, it is not about MTB racing either. It's about people and culture. But primarily it’s about having fun riding some of the best spots in the world!
