Kings of Extreme Enduro – Season 2013

Posted on by

After a really good initial KoEE season we’re happy to say that the main goals have been achieved:

  1. Giving the riders a transparent ranking + international visibility and awareness in the public.
  2. Building a KoEE Prize Pool to support the riders also on the financial side. In 2012 we collected €2,576.97 – a great result considering the fact that KoEE does not have any sponsors.

We’ve decided to build on this initial success and do the same thing in 2013:

  1. We’ll have the same KoEE Magic 7 races in the KoEE 2013 Ranking:Tough One, Hell’s Gate, Erzbergrodeo, Red Bull Romaniacs, Red Bull Sea to Sky, Extreme Lagares & Roof of Africa.
  2. We will use the same rules and ranking method as in 2012!
  3. We will open a new KoEE 2013 Prize Pool!

We’re waiting for the official Tough One results – as soon as we have those we’ll provide the first KoEE 2013 Ranking!

Happy New Year to all of you and thanks for your support in 2012!

After we’ve received the last payment – a BIG THANKS to Red Bull Turkey!!! – for the KoEE 2012 Prize Pool right before New Years Eve we’re starting to pay out 100% to the KoEE 2012 Top 10 riders!

And we’re excited to announce that we’re looking at a total KoEE 2012 Prize Pool of €2,576.97! Not bad for the initial year of a totally new concept without sponsors. We’re paying out 100% of the money in the prize pool according to the KoEE rules as follows below.

Please note: Since Dan Hemingway and Paul Bolton both came in with 36 KoEE Points in the final KoEE Ranking we decided to add up the money for places 8 and 9 and split that amount between the two of them.

Payment is done via PayPal ONLY! We have contacted the 10 riders individually asking for their PayPal email address which we need to pay out the money. There will be NO bank transfer, cash payments or whatever, only PayPal!

Graham “Grimbo” Jarvis (Flite-Husaberg) won the Red Bull Sea to Sky yesterday in Kemer, Turkey – which is number 6 of the KoEE Magic 7 races. Check the updated KoEE Ranking. By adding another 20 points Graham has already secured the title:

Graham Jarvis is THE KING OF EXTREME ENDURO 2012!

Congratulations, this title is well deserved and the entire – and steadily growing – scene of Extreme Enduro admires the outstanding performance Graham has shown throughout the 2012 season.

We talked to Jonny Walker after Red Bull Sea to Sky. Jonny came in second and added enough points to secure the second place in the KoEE Ranking. Here’s the video:

Updated KoEE Ranking online after Erzberg and Romaniacs

The KoEE Ranking has been updated with the latest results from the Red Bull Romaniacs in and around Sibiu (Romania).

Looking at the updated ranking there are major changes:

  1. Graham Jarvis maintains his lead even though he was disqualified at Erzbergrodeo.
  2. Jonny Walker is closing in on Graham, just 8 points away.
  3. Letti made a good jump up in the ranking with his impressive 2nd place at the Romaniacs.
  4. A lot of top 10 Brits didn’t show up at the Romaniacs so they have lost a little ground.

A quick word about the Red Bull Romaniacs. At the initial riders briefing at the Red Bull Romaniacs mastermind Martin Freinademetz said something very interesting: “Thanks to my entire team for helping me to do make my dream come true: Doing the best race in the world!” You could feel that Martin is very serious about this and that he is willing to do what it takes to make this happen. Well, Martin, you are very close and on a very good way!

We have been there, the whole time and talked to many of the riders. All the guys we spoke to were stoked by this incredible race. Apart from some minor hiccups – which you will have at any race – nearly everything was close to perfect. And it was obvious that XVENTURE will analyse the 9th edition last week to make a truly perfect 10th anniversary in 2013.

The photo below shows Darryl Curtis, who also made it into the Ranking by competing at the Romaniacs, in a section called “Appetizer” – a very gentle and elegant way to get the bike up a bit higher than usual.

Who will beat Graham Jarvis at EBR and RBR?

Exciting times ahead of us! The 18th edition of the Red Bull Hare Scramble @ Erzbergrodeo is coming up this weekend (June 1o) and the Red Bull Romaniacs follows right next (June 13-17) – so the next KoEE points from 2 races will be added to the rider’s within just one week! Who will beat the Dominator from the UK, the “Silent Assassin” Graham “Grimbo” Jarvis on his Flite Husaberg?

So within just one week we can see dramatic changes in the KoEE Ranking! We will update the ranking immediately once the official results are out – and we’ll be one the first to get thim because we’re in the middle at EBR and RBR! So make sure to check the KoEE ranking and don’t forget to donate some money into the KoEE Prize Pool – 100% of it is going to the riders!!!

The Red Bull Hard Enduro Channel has done a nice video showing Grimbo’s hardest competitors. Enjoy!
