It’s not an event for the faint hearted. The torturous Wildwood Rock Extreme will be held on the weekend of November 22-23 near Sunbury (Vic), with British star Graham Jarvis returning to try and make it win number three against a blockbuster line-up which includes fellow British rider Ben Hemingway (Beta).
Jarvis, a five-time British moto trials champion, made the switch to enduro in 2007 and has gone on to win some of biggest events such as the Red Bull Romaniacs, Red Bull Sea to Sky, Hells Gate and Erzberg. Jarvis won his first Wildwood extreme enduro in 2011 and lapped the entire field in the process! He also won in 2013.
As well as the extreme enduro on the Sunday, this year’s event will also feature a hill climb on the Saturday, open to riders of any level.
Event organiser Steve Braszell said this year’s event will be better than ever.
“We have more classes, more prizemoney up for grabs and a bigger and better course that will keep the crowd gasping for more. It’s a great day out for everyone really and runs rain hail or shine,” Braszell said.
The Wildwood Rock Extreme will commence from 9:00am with a 1km prologue course. At 11:00am the three-hour main event kicks off on a man-made track with rocks, hills, water holes, barrels and other ‘interesting’ objects that you would never dream about riding two wheels over.
The location is 227 Feehans Road, Wildwood. Entry is $20 for adults ($30 for a two-day pass), $10 for ages 10-16 (two-day pass $15), and is free for under 10s.
