- Valleys Xtreme 2024 pm race is arguably the most extreme enduro race in the UK. Myself Enduro Travel R and the crew decided to try some serious hard enduro and see how we would get on against the worlds best enduro riders including the FIM hard enduro world champion Manuel Lettenbichler.
Needless to say this race at Walters arena in Wales does not fail. It had an incredibly technical prologue section that put all the enduro bikes to the test as well as some of the longest river beds and big hill climbs that Wales has to offer. The welsh valleys are the perfect setting to run an extreme enduro and the weather and conditions were incredible.
With over 700 enduro riders over the 2 days and crowds of 1000's of people it was not only an awesome spectacle, it was something crazy to be a part of. It was my first proper extreme enduro and boy it lived up to it.
This vlog shows the valleys extreme pm race which is the one that I rode my dirtbike in. It is the toughest of them all and has riders like Johnny Walker, the Brightmore brothers, Charlie Frost and many more.
I even managed to get into the former FIM World Champions vlog the one and only Billy Bolt. He featured me and the noise Welsh guy just before a rock garden.

Looks brilliant! making those muddy rock mountains look easy.... Until you got cut up. Cheeky Rich cutting the track!
Cheers broski! That Stone counter is a cheeky one isn’t he. 🤣
Great job man. 😀👍
🤘🏼
good LAWD, that drunk dude by BB57 had a little too many😂. I bet riding stuff like that really puts in perspective the skill level of the big boys. On that note, it looked to me like you were riding pretty dang well. Great job.
Haha yeah he had one or two too many for sure. Yeah man, I was really pleased with how I rode, it was just relentless!
It’s absolutely insane the level the pros ride at. Like you said it definitely puts it into perspective.
Cracking video and never had a video with you being so quiet before 🤣😉✊ huge respect as looked gnarly but epic. Give a like if he should do Lossiemouth in April up in Scotland 👍
Haha cheers bro and full concentration mode was fully engaged 🤣.
Will keep you posted on Lossie 🤘🏼
Most of them I bet could barely find time to breathe 😂
You know you’re booking a week off work when you race at valley’s lol.Great stuff mate,and you got to briefly meet bill so good day out with the boys.
Haha yeah man although I was straight back to work the next day 🙈
Brutal 🥵
@@EnduroTravelR oh shit.well done though my dude,you gotta be pretty fit to ride well around there.keep em coming.
@ThePrivateRusty haha cheers man, although Tummon was definitely the fitness bit that let me down!
Need to get my fitness sorted for the future. 🤘🏼
That course looks insane bro. Great job.
Ah cheers man. Yeah definitely the most insane event I have ever done.
Great riding mate! My race would have ended at the first skip. Kinell! What a tough race! Greetings from Vienna!
Thanks man, it was definitely a tough one but loved every second 🤘🏼
Well done my internet friend you did your proud 💪
Thanks bro 🤘🏼
Well done mate that was savage.
Not one bit of me wishes I was there.
Haha you would have loved the atmosphere mate. You know me I hate racing, but I had such a good time 🤘🏼
Fair play mate! That looked super extreme! How far away were you from doing a full lap?
That rocky section you got cut up on looked hard!
Cheers bro, it was definitely tough. It was so relentless. Just kept going and going!
I was at checkpoint 3 out of 4 so not too far. We also quit with about 40 minutes to go so could have maybe made it. Just sooo tired 🤣
I saw myself haha, you will definitely be in my video
Haha ah sick, what part did you see yourself?
5:42 thats me, cheeky cut in front of you 😉✊
Didn't realise it was you in Billys vlog. Goodstuff.
Haha yeah man. I was gassed at that point 🤣
That rock section was savage this year
Who’s your crack head mate 😂
Hahaha which rock section. They all were, although it definitely didn’t help getting dominoed 🙈.
I don’t know but he seemed to get Billy attention although I’m not sure about his advice 🤣
fairplay to you bhoy 🤙
Cheers mate 🔥🤘🏼🔥
Carnage!! Full on event 😮
How many laps did you get in??
Different level of riding as you watch the pro’s go round. Great experience but I bet you were all wrecked the next day!!
Yeah man the event was crazy. I didn’t even get a full lap in. Was the first ever race I have done like that and my fitness let me down big time. Was happy with how I rode though and like you said pretty beat in the end.
@@EnduroTravelR
Great to get out and enjoy the experience! Having watched a few plus having been on one of the tracks in N Yorkshire, I’ll just watch 😉
@markr3140 🤘🏼😂
Nice day out down the valleys that. How many battery changes did it take to film the full race?
Haha yeah nice is definitely one way to describe it.
I think it took 4-5 batteries although I probably stopped and changed them more than I needed to, just to make sure 🤘🏼.
How’s the Gassa now?
Can’t believe how much better you’ve got in last 2 years. Fair play mate. Is you tpi standard or got tsp head on it. Keep up the great videos 👌👍
Ah cheers mate appreciate that. I really enjoyed this event and definitely felt like my riding is coming along. My fitness let me down a lot though. A lot to work on still.
I’ve got a TSP medium head on the bike.
Ok thanks bud. Was thinking of putting a low comp head on when I do the top end. Was wondering how much of a difference it makes. Thanks for the reply 👍
@danrayner4699 I got mine second hand and i definitely notice a difference, but I’m not sure I would pay full price for it to be honest. If you have the spare cash then definitely, but I think there are quite a few other bang for buck items that are more important.
Ok so not a game changer then as definitely don’t have loads of spare cash so is a toss up of either tsp head or was thinking ktech orves on the front end as loads of good reviews on them. Will have to have a good think as don’t want to waste me money. Top man 👍👍
@danrayner4699 I’ve got the Ktech ORVS and I would 100% put your money that way. That makes a huge difference
Brilliant 😂
🤣 cheers bro. Just need to get fitter and further next time.
Think I need to get myself down to the valley for some training 🤘🏼
Sick video mate! what helmet mount do you use?
Cheers man 🤘🏼. I just use a standard stick pad under the visor and have a little extendable but on it and mount the camera upside down 💪🏻
get down there like billy - BILLY tell him
🤣🤣🤣
Haha tell me about it 🤘🏼😂
@@EnduroTravelR fair play for having a go, id have defo ridden over that bike in the rocks though....
@toady..9833 hahaha I was definitely tempted 🤣
@@EnduroTravelR extra traction yaa 🤣🤣🤣
@toady..9833 haha definitely going to do that next time 💪🏻
What gloves are they mate
I use FIST cloves. They are definitely the best in my opinion 🤘🏼
Looks easy 😂😂😂😂😂
Wish they made it harder 🤪
Thank god for electric starter 👍👍👍👍👍😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣
