From Green Hell at Erzbergrodeo, Lagares’ rocky climbs to the Impossible hills of Romaniacs – our top five videos of the hardest sections in extreme enduro...

Continuing our ‘five of the best’ look at enduro videos, we’re focusing here on the hardest of Extreme Enduros and the intense moments within them. Witness the struggle.

Erzbergrodeo ­– pure hell

All of Erzbergrodeo is hell but you’ll be hard pushed (excuse the pun) to find a more difficult section of extreme enduro than Grüne Hölle or Green Hell. We’ve picked this one out from 2019 purely for the brutal reality of it.

Extreme Lagares – glassy gullies

Lagares is the traditional opening round of WESS and famous for its endless uphill rocky gullies. The rocks are like wet glass to ride up and brutal when you fall back down them…

The Tough One – extreme toughness 

One of the longest standing Extreme Enduros, The Tough One is an early season event notorious for its riding conditions as much as severity (much like Getzenrodeo). Graham Jarvis is king here but David Knight has a strong record round the Nant Mawr quarry’s intense course.
