[ Ссылка ] [ Ссылка ] What do extreme enduro racers do when they aren't racing? Like the rest of us, they just mess around and have fun. Dirt bike tricks... dirt bike stunts. But it's always about refining technique, pushing themselves and preparing for the next event. Pivot turns with your foot on an upright log aren't normally a feature of extreme enduros, but it's still great practice for clutch control, covering the rear brake and being able to pivot turn in gnarly unpredictable terrain. We are on Tim Coleman's family property and Chris Perry lives nearby. The guys have been friends and riding buddies for many years, and also compete against each other in hard enduro events. Rumour has it that Tim Coleman started riding in the womb. And he has the added advantage of a trials background too, and has even competed internationally riding in the Australian trials team. Very handy for dirt bike stunts and dirt bike tricks. Chris Perry only got into dirt bike much later in life and doesn't have a trials background. But with determination and plenty of hard work he's a regular top five finisher in Aussie hard enduros, and has competed in overseas events like Romaniacs, Erzberg and Sea to Sky. And talking about practice and hard work, Chris Perry wants to try this very tricky log on Tim Coleman's property. It's almost handlebar height, very narrow on top and needs excellent technique and balance to get up and ride along it. Tim's trials background clearly shows. And this is where persistence pays off. This is completely new to Chris Perry but he won't stop until he's mastered it. It is tricky, despite years of practice on this log Tim Coleman still doesn't always nail it. How often would you need to hop up onto a log like this and ride along it in a hard enduro? Almost never, unless it was in a prolog track. But again it's all about pushing the envelope, combining various techniques and improving overall skills because you never know what you'll encounter in an event. You can see Chris Perry is rapidly getting the hang of it and getting up onto the log each time now. Follow me says Tim Coleman. See it's easy. With years of previous practice lol. And then finally success. Well done Chris Perry. I've gone across that log plenty of times, but would never have the balls to try and ride along it. A little bit more messing around with the logs and then it's time to move on to the next challenge. A bit of discussion and Chris Perry is keen to try some impossible loose rocky hill climbs. And there's no shortage of those on Tim's property. Take it from me, when Chris Perry is bulldogging down a slope instead of riding, it is seriously steep. Those of us watching can't believe the guys want to try riding up this shit. But of course if you are serious about becoming a good rider, you need to take the risks and deal with your fear of failure. Something that came up in an old interview with Graham Jarvis. It's always fun watching Chris Perry and Tim Coleman messing around and improving their technique at the same time! These are two of Australia's leading hard enduro riders... Chris Perry and his well filled pants, veteran of Erzberg and Romaniacs. And Tim Coleman the lanky stunt rider with Romaniacs and Sea to Sky under his belt. Tim Coleman tries to kick Chris Perry off his bike but completely misses. Chris Perry has already ridden these events along with his partner Emma Broadbent. Tim Coleman is a young Aussie who runs enduro coaching across the country, as well as a stunt shows on his trials bike. A rear wheel hop by Chris Perry failed to take out Tim Coleman's front wheel and then they were neck and neck down the back straight. Chris Perry is a veteran of Erzberg and Romaniacs and is usually in the top five extreme enduro riders in Australia. Tim Coleman plans to fly out from Australia and ride hard enduro events like Romaniacs and the Red Bull Sea to Sky because he has applied his trials riding to extreme enduro technique.
