THE BEST ACTION FROM EXTREME ENDURO MASTER CLASS WITH GRAHAM JARVIS

The greatest hard enduro rider of all times, the man who practically invented this sport and brought it to the next level, Graham Jarvis, visited Serbia. The occasion - he did an extreme enduro master class with Serbian riders on the Xross terrains in Zlatibor and Tara.

During this two-day event, Jarvis shared his knowledge and skills with the local riders, who were stunned by his abilities. World-renowned photographer Predrag Vuckovic was on the spot, ensuring that we had the best photos from this masterclass. 

Maybe the comment of one of the participants best sums up this masterclass: "You are riding for a year, and you think you know how to ride, then you see Jarvis, and you realize you don't have a clue."

During this master class, Jarvis explained the basics of hard enduro to riders. Because after you master the basics, you can talk about progression. Without them, you are at great risk of making many mistakes.

"Local riders are surprised by how much these basics can help them. Now, they can progress faster. I spoke about breaks, controls, and main things. You know, it is not just full throttle. You have to think about the technique and the track in front of you." - Jarvis shortly explained his teaching method.

This was his first time in Serbia, but he is coming back next month to ride at the Xross Hard Enduro Rally, the 2nd stop in this year's FIM Hard Enduro World Championship.

"Serbia has good riders and excellent technical tracks. Not a lot of places in the world have that. It's fantastic." - Jarvis said

His journey to Serbia didn't end on the weekend, as he stayed on Monday as well. In Belgrade, he was a media celebrity for the entire day. Jarvis was a guest on many national tv stations and in a popular podcast. He also managed to do a press conference where he introduced the media to the hard enduro, talked about his career in this sport, and shared his experience from the master class.

We are sure that Serbian riders who practiced with Jarvis this weekend can't wait for May and the Xross. You still have time to sign up and join the list of riders in this historic event. Because, for the first time in the history of motorsport, a world championship race is being held in Serbia. The event will take place from 18. to 21. of May on Zlatibor, Tara and Mokra Gora.
