My first choice on Youtube this morning was the 2018 Redbull Knockout. Labeled an enduro - basically 3 hours of beach motocross. Pretty impressive!
The first hour 'qualifier' eliminates 250 of the 1000 riders entered.
Then the remaining 750 get to do a 2 hour Moto in the sand.
Pretty cool that riders like Herlings (won it in 2016) and Coldenhoff would even enter something that isn't classified as a motocross.
And having to lap probably 650 riders that aren't near as fast as you? Yes, a little experience passing in the sand from this race.
Two 30 minute motor plus 2 laps - sounds like a piece if cake in comparison.
Can't imagine the US rider that would even try this - of course there is a lot to risk with so many amateurs participating.
Being able to watch Supercross is still hours away.......

Years before RBKO, the Veronica Strandcross Scheveningen was held on the same beach. And sidecars raced it.
Langston said that one of his greatest achievments was winning the dutch 125 title!
See, it’s not hard.
And Watson is from the UK, so probably not as much sand experience.
Post a reply to: Why are riders like Coldenhoff & Herlings so good in the sand? I have a clue now....
