Went to the fast Eddie Extreme Enduro this weekend, it was a very testing course, would of bee tough enough on a trials bike let alone an enduro bike, Alex my boy lined up today with some proper celebs.
Tom Sager, Dougie Lamkin, Graham Jarvis David Knight on the front row:thumb2

Here we are at 7.00 am unloading the bike from the van, all looks clean.

The course was made up of steep climbs and decents with a few tree trunks thrown in the odd water fall, and some rocks.

The rocks were very steep and slippery even for the top boys.

We had a good day, Alex managed 4 laps in each race lasting an hour against mr Knights 7 laps in each race,:thumb2
 
Good effort.......:thumb2
Your lad was using a Mitas CO2 on the rear? With a mousse or tube? How did he rate the set up he ran on the waterfall and slab-rock sections?

Timpo.

With a tube, let a good bit of air out after practice, the water fall was easy because the water kept flowing, the rocks became undoo able with the mud dragged up on them, when you see Tom on the deck on the rocks its slippy. Mr Knight didnt even have a new tire on for the event and was still in a different leauge. it was in leeds.
 
You should be rightly proud of your son David :thumb2 He's done so well against the big guns, fabulous pictures .... looks like a very trying course.

I imagine you've got to be pretty fit to complete a course of that calibre.

Did you ride yourself?

No that was beond me :) fittness is every thing and if Alex is honest he could be a lot fitter.

Hi Dave
Cracking day wasn't it?
Good sized crowd altho' not everyone had paid to get in!
Took us a good while to get out -well done to Alex. :thumb2
 
Hey all, thanks for the kind messages, was a hard day out but so worth it! Ended up finishing 4th in class and around 35th out of the whole event (we think) which im chuffed to bits with!
Anyway, thought i'd share a few images from in around the net.
