Perhaps it may turn out a sang,
Perhaps turn out a sermon.

Extreme Enduro Prelude Interlude.

KTM factory rider Jonny Walker has a POV camera on as he blazes through an obstacle course set up in Sibiu, Romania.  This is sort of a prologue to the actual event, I think.  A bit of a warm-up, so to speak.

Riding for KTM, I knew he would be good.  Still, I didn't really appreciate his first pass as much -- except for that unholy step-thing just before the course doubles back on itself.  I may have nightmares.

As Walker starts his second pass, we begin to get an idea of just how easy he made it look the first time through.

Unreal! You gonna do the senior circuit on your restored Yamaha?

I'm working up to it. Very slowly.

You're right. That second lap is an eye-opener with all those other riders stuck in the rocks and stumps. A bit like watching a chess player run through all the options in presented before him. And a little too much like watching a POV video game.

Either way, one must be "One" with the bike, Grasshopper.
