Elliot Jamieson had a breakout year in 2025. Or, well, another one. His stunning elite men’s podium at enduro world championships isn’t his first world championships podium. It arrived six years after his first, which he earned as as a junior in downhill.
His DH worlds medal earned him a spot on Norco’s downhill World Cup team. A few years, and teams later, Jamieson’s enduro worlds medal earns him a spot with Specialized.
We caught up with the Canadian over the phone early in the morning. He was headed out for a day of filming in Santa Cruz, already getting after his year’s goals.
Beyond World Cup: Taking a wide angle view of enduro
For Elliot Jamieson, the move to Specialized comes with a big step up in support. That’s not just in racing, though. The Canadian was in California filming for the first episode of a video series he’s creating to go along with the season.
After his worlds podium, you might expect such a series to be focused on the World Cup. But with that series being very euro-centric this year, Jamieson says that he wants the series to show more of what enduro means to him.
“I want to showcase the spirit of the sport. Why I got into it and why the early EWS was so successful. That core focus on massive days, everyone maintaining their own bikes,” Jamieson explains. “My goal is to have people get to know me, my friend and training partners and sponsors. Especially with where enduro is at right now, it’s not all factory rides where everything’s taken care of.”

“We’ll put out a few episodes throughout the year, I’m working with a few of my good buddies to film,’ the Canadian adds. “The first one will showcase a road trippy vibe, alongside testing and training and, you know, hitting up rad spots to get ready for the season. I’m pretty excited for it, man. It’s a cool opportunity.”
Jamieson’s race program for the year reflects that broader enduro community beyond the World Cup. While returning to worlds, where he had his the biggest result of his enduro career, is obviously a the main focus, it’s not the end of his calendar. Alongside the World Cup series, he’ll race more in North America.
“North American enduro enduro champs is a big goal for me. I’ve never raced that one and [Kellogg, Idaho] looks like an insane venue, vibe and race.”
