A new form of competitive cycling; ‘SuperEnduro Racing’ makes its World debut in the UK, when it races into the Echo Arena in Liverpool on Sunday 17th November 2013 as part of the SuperEnduro Grand Prix Race Day event. The complete event will be recorded with highlights broadcast on TV.
SuperEnduro itself is probably the toughest indoor racing in the World and its new cycling addition will be right up there in terms of new challenges. SuperEnduro Racing follows the already very popular Maxxis FIM SuperEnduro World Championship for Motorcycles, but exchanges horsepower for human power and footrests for pedals. With competitors leaving the mass start grid (like outdoor cross country events) all the races promise to be fast and furious.
Enduro racing is the new kid on the mountain bike block and has capitalised on the weekend warriors hitting all the newly created trail centres created around the UK. Racing over numerous timed stages like that of a car rally has seen race numbers and events increase three fold over the past two years alone.
Racing SuperEnduro Racing here at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, indoors, especially in November is a dream come true for any mountain biker rider or spectator out there. Living and racing in the UK means each weekend we have to battle not only the tracks that lay ahead of us but the best or worst that Mother Nature can throw at us.
Racing indoors, in front of a 6,000 strong crowd will see the riders giving it their all, 100 percent effort and no doubt making some risky moves come the latter part of the race to make up that place and hopefully a step onto the podium. This is an event not to be missed.

This advert definitely needs video to make sense. Is it just moto fans laughing at MTB riders running over unrideable obstacles like CX in the middle of Moto?
You don't want to watch, but you have to just see how bad it really is
