EnduroCross (EX) will make its Montreal debut at the 32nd running of the Montreal Supermotocross on October 3 at the Montreal Olympic Stadium.
EnduroCross reaches speeds that are close to conventional motocross (MX) racing on a supercross-type track that includes more difficult obstacles and forces the riders to slow down and display their skills while riding over the tougher sections of the track. Usually run outdoors on a natural off-road course, EnduroCross has now entered indoor stadiums where tracks are laid out to reproduce outdoor conditions.
"The fact that Europeans had the bright idea of bringing the EnduroCross experience to indoor stadiums is one of the best things that could have ever happened to the sport," said Guy Giroux, one of Quebec's top EnduroCross riders, and who has competed in previous motocross event at the Olympic Stadium. "Our races are usually held in the backwoods with no easy fan access. Competing at the Olympic Stadium on October 3 in front of a large crowd will be very exciting. We are going to give the fans a show they’ll remember."
"Riders set and maintain their own rhythm as they battle either bumps or ride all out in corners. Each obstacle is unpredictable and breaks the rhythm of the flow. It also requires extreme focusing skills," explained Giroux, a three-time Canadian Enduro champion.
