    Anyway, would you compare this doing wires in reverse? or harder than that? I look at the likes of the Ezburg with the 2m high drop offs that you have to jump and that shit would scare the shit out of me. I'm kind of keen on this, but worried that my skills would fall far short and my fitness even more so. It would be one of those rides my goal would be to finish!! LOL

    Pity its so short notice too. Its not a lot of time to prepare!
    Well I watched the Extreme special test after last years enduro & it was pretty rough, think 4 metre near vertical drop into creek with 1.5 metre vertical bank on exit. There were bikes 2 metres up in trees ( John R., way spectacular ), alot of problems with the exit. It looked tough, real tough.

    I'm not real sure I want to see what Sean Clarke would call tough, thankfully I won't have a choice I'll be away with work. If I was here I'd do the enduro on Saturday & go watch the extreme stuff ( awesome enduro as an aside ).

    If you head down, do the enduro Sunday, I'm actually really gutted to miss it, some really nice riding in there.

    Didn't mean to put people off the extreme enduro, I would have had a go at going down the bank, just not sure I'd have made the exit.

    Totally cool fun watching I have to say & Sean puts on one helluva an enduro with at least one special test wrapped around the pits so you can go watch.

    There was a big area for camping last year to, all I can say is wish I was going .

    Extreme enduos are ment to be hard, with only a few finishing. I guess thats why they do the buddy system for people who want to give it a go, at least then you have someone to help if you get really stuck. I'm still keen if someone wants to try (come on barty!!) and I can fit it in.

    On a side note, all those boys that spent the winter ridding the coro ranges, and telling me Mr motocycle rides aren't changling enough for them. I expect to see you down there on the start line, not hidding behind weak excusses!!!

    Yea true about only few might finish, but all the stuff I've been riding in coro is challenging but not 'fuck your bike and yourself if you fail' hard. Namely 4m drop's I haven't had much practice at all with speed + air, getting up the other side not so bad, I know how to ghost alright

    4m NEAR vert he said, and it might not even be in the course. Come on you ride a KTM don't they do it for you!!!
    It says it gets harder as it goes on, so if you come accross something too much for you thats where you end the race, it's only a bit of fun. They might never do an extreme race here again.
