I was fortunate to be invited to attend the Honda Enduro Mod 1 training yesterday at Gerotek. I don't own an enduro bike, but Honda kindly provided me with a CRF250 (with happy button) :thumleft:.
We started just after 9 with some warm up riding, and then off to the drop offs, starting small and ending big.

We did same strange exercises in the sand and even stranger front wheel slides - but all in good fun and part of building up to what would come later... :peepwall:
From the sand pit we headed to a nice lawn and this would be our playground for a few hours, as this was the venue for wheelies, stoppies, pivot turns, u-turns, and more riding through trees.

We rode through two logs, did the snake, grinding before we chased each other around a tyre circle. I lost solidly to eatmyKTM :-[
Then we rode through the rock pit, and up and down an insane hill just to be taken to another part where we must go down which was extreme.
We ended with riding a log, and out of a hole.
If I have to sum the day up in one word it must be - unfreakingbelievableawesomefun :thumleft:
Thanks to Hein from Honda and Hoofseun for being our instructor. I DID learn plenty of new tricks and skills. :deal:
