ISDE 2002 documentary to air on OLN

An action packed, one hour documentary of the 77th running of the International Six Day Enduro will air on Outdoor Life Network on Thursday April 17th at 10:00 PM Eastern and Pacific time and again on Thursday May 15th at 10:00 PM. Check www.olntv.com for details and other airings.

The show focuses on the performance of the US trophy team in this tough and controversial event held last September in the mountains of the northern Czech Republic. Over 500 entrants from 50 countries covered over 200 off-road miles per day for six consecutive days. The US competed with a young Trophy team that fought against a tight schedule, extremely wet weather, and controversial officiating

Called the Olympics of Motorcycling, the ISDE is the ultimate test of tactics, rider, machine, and mechanical skill. It is one of the oldest events in international motorcycle competition and for almost eighty years has decided who are the best enduro riders in the world.

This is a must see!

Has anyone seen the older ones(50's/70's/80's)? They have aired on SPEED. It's almost comical watching the guys with 3"-4" of travel on their BSA's,etc. running a grass track - talk about brutal!

Dear OLN and Speed,

PLEASE GIVE US MORE!!!!

 

[powercart]

I saw the first 30 minutes, then had to tend to my 2-year old with croup :whiner:

All I can say is that I now feel like a pansy puss-ass compared to the type of terrain and miles these guys ride.

The program gave a high-level overview of how the ISDE works and how it is organized. It then takes you day-by-day following the 6 members of the U.S. team.

Grueling, slippery, rutted mud pits. For 200 miles. Each day. Six days in a row. Oh ya - you only have 10 minutes each morning to work on your bike. And you have to do all maintenance yourself.

Wow...

:worship:

I'll have to watch it again when it is re-aired next month.

I attempted to watch it because Tim Taber (who was on the trophy team) is my KTM dealer.

The picture was not very good and the sound was even worse. It sounded like it was off channel. I think it was my cable provider screwing up.:(

Still, I enjoyed it. If they show it again maybe I can see it then with better reception.

If anyone grabbed it with Tivo, what exactly was the show called? I'd like to grab it whenever it is rebroadcast. I forgot to record it last night, and just tried setting up a wishlist for ISDE and got nuthin.

 

[Smit-Dog]

It's on 2 more times. Check out http://www.olntv.com and search their program listings. Search on keyword "motorcycle".

Watching any mainstream sports bores the hell out of me, but I really get into shows on OLN like the mountain bike downhill races.

 

[Offroadr]

Man it was great!!!!!!! Talk about getting you wound up. I had it on while I was repacking the bearings on my swingarm. Great show

 

[ktmzak]

It's not on again until May 15 & 16. 10:00 PM on Thursday and 2:00 AM on Friday.
