NO WAY IN HELL EXTREME ENDURO 2025 | Pushing through heat exhaustion to finish the race | KTM 300 XC

My full ride from the 2025 No Way in Hell Extreme Enduro. My primary goal was to have fun and just take my time to hopefully finish the race. I felt pretty good until the last hour where I really started to struggle with the heat of the day and an inability to cool down. It was a battle but I was stoked to push through and get it done. Such an epic event.

Good to see Dave in the pits

I saw “extreme” and clicked to watch a hard enduro. I fell asleep watching you ride a road on the way to the start of the enduro! 😅 Ha ha, just kidding. That looks like an awesome place to ride. It’s winter here and nothing but rocks. I’m jealous.

It took watching the majority of the video (I’m only at 3:19) to understand the evilness of the course design. They let you have fun and wear you down without you knowing and then bam!

[@WildNZ]

@@4JMcCart The fatigue definitely creeps up on you right as you are getting into the hardest part of the course!

A mud bug riding in this and trials bike, interesting choice of bikes

[@flynnparker3098]

Mean video bro, The guy with the broken radiator is my mate and his bike actual over heated and now it needs a full top and bottom end rebuild.

[@WildNZ]

Oh man thats a bugger! Do you know how he got it out of the bush?

[@flynnparker3098]

@@WildNZ he carefully rode it to the next track and i think that is what overheated it

Mean as. I'm right next to you on the start. ❤❤ Great day riding

[@WildNZ]

@@_sickdays_ Awesome how did you get on?

[@_sickdays_]

@WildNZ I think I got 36th overall. Unfortunately I had to stop for about 15-20 mins after the boggy gully to fix a pierced radiator hose. But got it done and finished the race so I was happy!!

Need some gherkin juice for that cramp

[@SquidsGaming246]

Brother, ngl.... this was hard to watch in some spots. Great effort though.

[@WildNZ]

Long video with a lot of huffing and puffing 😂
