The ultimate sibling's about to get extreme
By TMX Archives on 11th Sep 08
WOR Events has released details of a brand new Extreme Enduro that it will stage in November the Tough One's Little Brother. The world famous or even infamous! 'Tough One' has got a sibling that is itching to get extreme.
The Tough One is the UK's ultimate extreme motorcycle event and has amassed a huge following over the last five years and been supported by the best riders in the world with David Knight a four time winner.
The Tough One is a once a year spectacle which takes place in January (January 17, 2009, is next year's date!) but WOR is now bringing a smaller, neater, exciting spin-off of the Tough One to riders and fans on Sunday, November 2, at the tricky and technical Wern Ddu Quarry, near Corwen, North Wales. Club trials have run at the venue for many years and the terrain lends itself perfectly to the sport of Extreme Enduro.
This new event will be a two-hour Scramble through the natural rocks and gullies that this venue offers.
With classes for Pro riders through to Sportsman, the all weather rocky-based circuit will be laid out to entertain the riders and a limited number of spectators with full use of the venue's trails and network of climbs and descents.
Man-made log and tyre sections will NOT be incorporated in this event. Instead the organisers will rely purely on the unforgiving natural terrain of the small Welsh quarry to challenge the metal of the riders.
Already the list of top names signing-up to participate is growing as Paul 'Fast Eddy' Edmondson, the four times World Enduro Champion, Wayne Braybrook, Hells Gate winner, Tough One podium king and extreme event veteran, along with Tom Sagar the current British Enduro Champion and runner up at Erzberg last year are confirmed to ride.
An announcement will be made shortly on confirmation of a further two very big names who will take part, making this an event not to be missed.
The event will cater for Veteran (Over 40), Sportsman, Clubman, Experts and of course a small Pro class.
The event will also be being filmed for a DVD production.
Entry is open now and by post only. The entry forms were released on September 1 and are available for download at www.enduronews.com and www.worevents.com
The entry will be strictly restricted to 100 riders.
Get yours in quick if you're tough enough to take on the Little Bro!
