"Local businesses have come to the party, supplying most of the material for the track build. The course will be fairly flowing and nothing too hard, that is for sure. There will be plenty of choice of riding lines through the rock section.
"On the day, all riders will have two races each in their respective classes. Then all riders will take part in a knockout system of races that will progress the top riders through to a grand final."
Some of the top riders entered include Aucklanders Mike Skinner, Chris Power, Mike Davis and Freddie Milford-Cottam, Wellington's six-time national moto trials champion Jake Whitaker, Rotorua's Scott Birch, Atiamuri's Duncan McLaren and Tokoroa pair Mark Newton and Jesse Clarke.
The winner of round one, in the Riverhead Forest west of Auckland, was 25-year-old Skinner (KTM 250XCF), followed by Davis and Milford-Cottam, with New Plymouth's Dougy Herbert, Whitaker, and Tauranga's Jim Lowe-Pattie rounding out the top six.
All of these top finishers were on KTM bikes, making it an incredible KTM clean sweep of the event they also sponsor.
Round three is set for Te Puke on February 9, with the fourth and final round the No Way In Hell extreme enduro at Oparau, near Kawhia, on March 30-31.
Calendar: Round two: December 1, Tokoroa Endurocross; Round three: February 9, Te Puke Endurocross; Round four: March 30-31, No Way In Hell, Oparau, near Kawhia.
