Enduro Tonys Enduro Park

Ater my last monumental fail where all the subframe bolts fell out, the bike spent a week in the garage. Every bolt that I ever touched has been loosened locktite treated and tightened. New spark plug, new air filter & oil filter and an oil change have also been completed.

I just needed to test it, and what do you know(!), enduro Tony was holding an open day at the track he's built. Top banana.

Enduro Tony, Wheelie Chris, me and Good Lee all met at 10 a.m. this morning and spent 2 - 3 hours practicing on the track. (the bikes above are in the same order)

The track is at the end of his multiple acre garden and he's crafted it all himself, complete with jumps, climbs, descents, tyres, log hops, and walls. The track is great, ideal for practicing slow speed balance and control over obstacles, really helps you hone your skills.

It reminded me of the "Adventure Oz" channel from YouTube where the Australian chap is always singing the praises of slow speed practice. True to form, Chris and Tony made it look easy, but it's not, i'll try and embed a video. Myself and good lee found it quite challenging and were sweating through our clothes. Found myself laying on the ground at least once, having said that by the end of the practice session Good Lee and I had improved, thanks Tony really appreciated! (bike stayed together too)
