2023 Hard Enduro Heroes Ep. 4: Tough Like RORR in Tamaqua, PA

*We'd like to give a special thanks to Eric and Offroad Motorsports & Cycle Sales in Jonestown, PA for supporting us with a media UTV during the race.*
The Hard Enduro Heroes docu-series follows the six-round Premier Championship of the 2023 ‪@IRCTireUSAMoto‬ US Hard Enduro Series, Presented by ‪@KLIMMotorcycle‬. These six episodes, documented by ‪@skypixelmedia‬, will tell the stories of the hard enduro athletes that compete on the gnarliest race courses in the United States.
Tough Like RORR in Tamaqua, PA was Round 4 of the USHE Premier Championship and Round 3 of the AMA East Hard Enduro Series, Presented by ‪@IRCTireUSAMoto‬. Considered one of the most difficult and prestigious hard enduros in North America, Tough Like RORR has been testing the limits of offroad riders since 2015. The Reading Off Road Riders is the club that hosts this event, with Rob Mohn designing the course for almost a full year before the event starts.
Tough Like RORR usually runs on 4th of July weekend, but this year they partnered with the High Mountain Dirt Riders on Memorial Day weekend to create the Keystone Challenge. The Keystone Challenge combines two USHE Premier rounds in three days, creating one of the most challenging weekends of the year. This race had no shortage of drama and action, as ‪@trystanhart84‬, ‪@codywebb2‬, and USHE newcomer ‪@JonnyWalker‬ stood on the podium after a long battle in the woods. Sandra Gomez from Spain won the Pro Women's division, with Rachel Gutish and Hallie Marks finishing second and third, respectively.
The next and final round of the 2023 USHE Premier Championship will be the Silver Kings Hard Enduro in Kellogg, Idaho.

Red Bull needs to hire whoever edits and produces these videos. These are so much better than Red Bull.

[@RIPPERTON]

The chase bike concept is a smash hit.

[@skypixelmedia]

Thanks guys means a lot! We put in a lot of effort into these because the sport and these riders deserve nothing less.

[@chrischambers5954]

I agree, some of the best Dirt Bike videos I have ever seen! On par or even better than "The beautiful idiot" mountain bike video, which is one of my favourites.

[@barknmad2861]

Been loving the series! I'm 5'8" and just getting into the Enduro side of riding. You guys know if any of the top riders are around that height?

[@XJonAye]

I don't know that information but I've Been told the best motocross guy are shorter, like a horse jocky

[@bobsalterorsouthwestsaltah4959]

[@mikeevanoski1108]

[@NigelNaughton]

Amazing coverage!!! Amazing riding!! You guys are killing it.

[@Tater4200]

Would you say this is tougher than battle of the goats on brushy mountain?

[@davidwillis6499]

[@glahut93]

Gnarliest track in America

[@Tater4200]

Bro riding with broken toes is insane

[@TheProcessor]

I'm a supercross/motocross guy but getting into watching these now. Do people who start on rows behind have their time start when they go or when the first row goes? Do they get a buffer?

[@skypixelmedia]

There’s a time adjusted start typically. Glad to hear your tuning in!

[@RIPPERTON]

OEM footpegs for the win
