Hell's Gate Enduro - Feb 12, 2011

[typeone]

brutal extreme enduro race ive been watching DVDs on. this year's event is this weekend in Italy. go Husky!



insane course in the Mountains of Tuscany with multiple 'qualifiers' and 'special trials'. four laps in the morning. if you qualify, four laps in the afternoon... as night falls. the climb to the finish isn't even rideable, hahaa! fans drag your bike up to the peak. crazy Eye-talians.

sick stuff.

I love watching this shit, like the Romainiacs and stuff. These blokes are nutters!

yeah, most of those top guys grew up on trials bikes. insane how much control they have on the full-size bikes.

the two flicks i watched recently on DVD are "Journey to Hell's Gate" and "Return to Hell's Gate". real good stuff if you enjoy these types of races.

EDIT: don't know why the other pics aren't working in first post. cant seem to fix it.

better get on your flight... now!

in that 'Journey To...' DVD, Mike Metzger flies over to give it a try. he was praying he didn't qualify after the morning sessions.

why? there's all those nice people to pull your bike up the impossible spots.
