A new dedicated blog site for the 2012 Kenda Tennessee Knockout Extreme Enduro
In preparation for the 2012 Kenda Tennessee Knockout Extreme Enduro (TKO) on Labor Day Weekend, I’m in the process of creating a whole new website for the event.
As you can see below, I’ve imported all the 2011 TKO blog posts from the Trials Training Center blog. Lots more work to do, so stay tuned.
2012 Kenda Tennessee Knockout Extreme Enduro schedule confirmed
We got this press release today from Sean Finley at Digital Throttle who’s been working with us on the Kenda Tennessee Knockout Extreme Enduro:
Sequatchie, TN (December 13, 2011) – The first ever KENDA Tennessee Knockout, fueled by Monster Energy took place last summer to rave reviews from riders and fans. So the team at the Trials Training Center is excited to confirm that the event will be back for 2012 on September 1st and 2nd during the Labor Day holiday weekend. If you want to compete in or see a true “American Extreme Enduro”, mark your calendar now. Mike Brown, the 2011 winner stated that the multi round event “Was tougher than anything I have ever done. At the halfway mark, I thought I would not be able to finish but I was leading so I kept pushing”.
The top off-road racers from around the world will be invited to compete and amateur riders can race on Saturday with the top finishers earning the opportunity to move on to the Sunday Expert Knockout rounds. On Sunday, the riders will compete in a very tough and spectator friendly four round format.
Kenda Tennessee Knockout Extreme Enduro featured in January Dirt Rider magazine
The January 2012 issue of Dirt Rider magazine has a feature on the inaugural Kenda Tennessee Knockout Extreme Enduro held this past August here at the TTC. (See a pattern here?) Sean Finley at Digital Throttle put this PDF together to give you a glimpse. Here’s an excerpt:
Given the worldwide popularity of hard enduro, the Kenda Tennessee Knockout Extreme Enduro was proof that with the right organization, a good format, a difficult course and support from the top riders such an event can successfully be held on American soil. The rocky terrain surrounding the Trials Training Center was on par with the difficulty level of most hard enduros, and almost as soon as the event was over, the riders, teams and spectators were buzzing about a future edition of the race.
