What do all the world's best extreme enduro riders have in common?
These guys are all former expert trials riders,
who applied cross training techniques from trials to extreme enduro and endurocross events.
These riders are all consistently on the podium in extreme enduro events.
Such as Romaniacs, Hell's Gate, The Tough One, Erzberg Rodeo, The Roof of Africa, and Sea to Sky.
Trials techniques involve balanced precise bike control,
finding traction and precise use of the throttle and clutch.
Cross-training applies the same principles to an enduro bike.
You'll be amazed at the difference it makes.
The huge success of these extreme enduro riders
has led to a resurgence in trials riding internationally.
Many dirt riders are now joining trials clubs to improve their overall skills
for basic dirt riding or hard enduro events and endurocross.
Cross-training is the application of trials techniques to dirt riding and
it will make a massive difference to how you ride.
But hey, but don't take our word for it.
What do the top enduro riders say?
In an interview Graham Jarvis said his tips were to learn trials.
Go slow.
Master the clutch.
Develop balance.
And build your confidence in key trials techniques.
So there you have it.
Buy a trials bike.
They are cheaper than dirt bikes because you aren't paying for a seat.
Awarning though, trial is incredibly addictive.
And it makes a full-blown heroin addiction just look like a vague desire for something salty.
