Tough One International Extreme Enduro 2012 in acest weekend!

Tough One International Extreme Enduro
Duminica 15 ianuarie 2012

Numai cateva zile ne mai despart de primul eveniment extrem enduro si anume de The Tought One 2012. Evenimentul se intoarce in Regatul Unit al Marii Britanii  in cariera care spune-se ca e bantuita dar cu siguranta descurajanta pentru riderii datorita dificultatii traseului. Deci in data de 15 ianuarie in Shropshire la cariera Nantamawr se alege cel mai dur rider.

Evenimentul este acum la a opta editie si devine recunoscut ca unul din principalele 5 envenimente extreme ale lumii. The Tought One reuseste sa adune cei mai buni piloti din lumea enduro-ului. Acest an nu va fi cu nimic diferit, probabil doar un traseu mult mai greu.

Cum spuneam, in acest an traseul a fost in totatitate regandit si conceput ca el sa fie mult mai lung si au fost introduse cateva sectiuni cu totul si cu totul spectaculoase. Vom gasi doua noi portiuni unde se afla cele mai mari cauciucuri de camion din lume si  noua sectiune cu busteni va pune la incercare fiecare pilot prezent la eveniment. O sectiune asemanatoare cu cea din prologul RedBull Romaniacs va aduce in plus pe langa anvelopele suspendate in aer si parti umane…. parti din manechine umane.

“Root of all Evil”, Radacina Celor Rele in traducere se intoarce. Aceasta sectiune este compusa din radacini, urcari foarte abrupte si coborari pe masura. Cu siguranta vor solicita riderii in cele 2 ore de concurs si mai ales la fiecare tur facut.

Infamul dar si favoritul publicului “Boulder Dash” joaca un rol important in aceasta editie a 8-a cu noua “Half an Hour of Hell”. Aceasta jumatate de ora rupta din Iad, plina cu bolovani nu ii va lasa pe riderii de la clasa PRO sa aiba momente de respiro. Spectaculos va fi atunci cand se lasa intunericul pe sfarsitul cursei… si pilotii vor concura la lumina farurilor.

Celebrul arc Red Bull, linia de finis adica, va fi amplasata chiar dupa aceasta sectiune, tocmai pentru a adauga putina presiune pentru rideri, dar si pentru publicul ce asista la aceasta batalie.

Acesta este un eveniment extrem… nu o simpla plimbare peste un teren care arata dur, aceasta este “the real deal!” si doar cei mai duri piloti din lume vor ajunge la finish! De aceea aceasta competitie ajunge sa implineasca al optulea an de existenta si deja devine o traditie in a numi pe cel mai dur pilot al lumii!
