Hard Enduro Burros has announced the launch of its new video series showcasing the biggest names in hard-enduro racing.
UPDATE August 2:
Episode one of the Hard Enduro Burros videos series sponsored by USWE is out.
Hard Enduro Burros is the latest video series showcasing America’s top hard enduro riders in a whole new way. This all-new webisode series offers fans a cinematic perspective of the rigorous hard enduro training between US Hard Enduro and FIM races.
Blake Scott, founder of Hard Enduro Burros, wanted to capture the special sense of camaraderie that is unique to the sport of hard enduro. “In no other discipline of motorsports will you see competitors helping each other out on the track, but in hard enduro, sometimes the racers have to team up and rely on each other to get through the obstacles,” said Scott. “They are all competitors, but they’re also friends and train together between races.”
What Scott learned from the riders is that they often have to take the safest line on race day, but these athletes were capable of so much more in a controlled setting without the amateurs and bottlenecks that are inevitable on race day. Scott created Hard Enduro Burros to exhibit the incredible talent these athletes have off the course in a free-ride setting and to show it off in a cinematic way.
Jacob Westerberg, CEO of USWE Sports AB: “USWE is all in when it comes to growing and developing hard enduro. From the first moment we heard about this project, we were stoked. This is what our heroes do in their backyard…and where USWE’s heart and soul remain. It’s about having the best time ever, riding the gnarliest terrain, exploring, and having a great time with your buddies.”
The webisode series features accomplished talents from across the field, such as FMF KTM Factory Racer Trystan Hart, Trials champion FactoryOne Sherco Racer Cody Webb, FactoryOne Sherco Racer Cooper Abbott, Factory Beta Racer Danny Lewis, IRC Beta USA James Flynn, Beta USA “Media Guy” Max Gerston, Rockstar Energy Factory Husqvarna Racer Ryder Leblond, and Coastal GasGas Factory Racer Will Riordan. Over the course of a year, Scott’s been filming with America’s best riders from the U.S. Hard Enduro Series, across 10+ locations. Each episode features group action and special segments for each rider, plus sponsor segments for USWE, IRC Tire, Klim, Bulletproof Designs, Smart Carb, SXSlideplate, Dirt Tricks, and Crosslinked Components, who are all excited about growing the sport of hard enduro.
The athletes are fired up to prove on camera who’s the best. “Hard Enduro Burros is the opportunity for the top guys in the US to showcase what’s actually possible on a dirt bike, doing crazy ridiculous free ride hard enduro type riding.” Says Cody Webb. “We’re going to show you what a regular day of the boys out riding actually looks like. Pushing each other, seeing absolute carnage, cartwheels, all the boys together, and just absolutely throwing bikes and just having a ball, it’s like Christmas for me.” Says Trystan Hart.
The Burros episodes are being released weekly starting July 31, 2024 on the Hard Enduro Burros YouTube Channel. Be sure to check them out to see what the top Burros are getting up to and see lines you’ll never imagine possible on a dirt bike. Watch the first episode below:
