The wild and wacky sport of EnduroCross is making its 2010 debut in Washington State this weekend. It’s only an eight-hour drive to Seattle from our home base here in Medford, Oregon so if I’m going to try my hand at one of these events then this is the time. Unfortunately, it’s so close, but oh-so far away as I’ll be heading the opposite direction to Michigan for a Parts Unlimited ride. We’re testing our long-term 2010 Honda CRF450R as a potential off-road weapon for a couple days on the Upper Peninsula.

Even though I can’t make it, all you hard-core enduro fans and EX lovers, be sure to head for Seattle, grab a Starbucks and watch the best form of spectator-friendly moto racing on the planet. This is round 4-of-6, so there aren't many opportunities left this season. Below is a preview video courtesy of ShotMaker Productions.
