Extreme Enduro

[david a hall]

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

Alex my son in the midle of the pic

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.

Dougie has both feet down and is padling at the top

Mr knight take another line and p1sses up

Mr knight takes the waterfall at a good pace.

The only pic i got of Alex before the battery went on the camera.

We had a good day, Alex managed 4 laps in each race lasting an hour against mr Knights 7 laps in each race,

Some nice pics you have there Dave, where was the event held?

Good effort.......
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.

Great pictures mate and a cracking result for Alex -

You should be rightly proud of your son David 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.

A big well done to your lad, 4 laps is pretty good going. I was there myself (watching!!) so I know how tough it was.

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.

Also found a video from the event, which I think sums it up
