it's always a pleasure to film and watch top extreme enduro riders in action.
But it doesn't matter what type of dirt bike you ride...
Or the brand of dirt bike.
Or your gender.
When you were pushing hard, things will always turn bad eventually.
Ruben Chadwick is no exception.
These obstacles are tough enough on his trials bike!
But he'll just keep trying and trying until he nails them on his dirt bike as well.
A trials background certainly helps make the crashes easier.
When possible trials riders will just step off the bike and ease it to the ground.
This casual dismount is the hallmark of the trials rider, even at speed.
Well most of the time!
Tim Coleman has the same trials background.
And the same issues with gravity, when he's pushing the limits.
Many of you will have seen Tim riding the tightrope into the back of his car.
it's taken a lot of preparation by riding along narrow logs.
In extreme enduros you never know what sort of crazy places a pivot turn could be needed.
So Tim likes to practice in weird spots
So when you see Tim Coleman, or any top extreme enduro rider, doing ridiculous stunts you can be
sure there were countless hours of repetition, crashes mistakes, and bruises, to get there.
Thanks to Tim and Reuben for letting us see these vids.
I don't know about you...
but I am much less discouraged knowing that no matter how incredible some of
the stunt riding looks, all those riders have spent so much time making mistakes.
And they are just human after all
