An Xtreme day out at the Park!
By TMX Archives on 28th Oct 11
Theres only a few days to go! This Saturday, October 29, the Iron Man Xtreme is aiming to raise the bar in the UK for Xtreme Events.
Event directors, Wayne and Sonya Braybrook, finalised the course plan on Monday of this week, and the news from the Low North Park venue, between Whitby and Scarborough is that this is going to be a serious
Enduro Xtreme event.
Wayne Braybrook explains: "Having competed in Extreme events all over the world, we have seen everything from the impossible to the insane. We aim with the first running of the Iron Man Xtreme to build a firm foundation for the future running of this event.
"Some competitors may find the course impossible, some may find it easier, but the main objective is to provide people in the UK with a fantastic, top quality, great value event for years to come, to watch and to ride in.
"We ask spectators to make lots of noise please for the top riders, cheer on your pals, and above all don't be afraid to shout encouragement!
"When onlookers and spectators urge riders on, it really does make them feel that they have a place in the event, so come on off-road fans make some noise for all the riders – no matter how hard or easy they make it look!”
Get along and see Top Enduro star, KORR's Jonny Walker and triple British motocross champion PAR Honda's Brad Anderson in action. Can HM Plant Red Bull KTM's Jake Nicholls (another motocrosser) spoil the party and take home £1,000 for the win?
Will the experienced Xtreme specialist Wayne Braybrook make them work for the win? (We think so!) Or can Harry Hillas, Gary Jenkins and Scott Austin upset the form book? Maybe Road Racer Jon Kirkham will upset the apple cart?
With many more riders thrown in the pot, anything can happen.
One thing is for sure, all our signed riders are fit, injury free and ready to do battle providing guaranteed action.
The course is open on Friday 9am for all competitors to inspect the course. The action starts on Saturday October 29 with the qualifying race at 10am, this will be followed by the Xtreme Trial at 12 noon which will be headed by Jack Challoner European Champion, then the main Iron Man Xtreme Final at 1.30pm.
