Knowing that there ’ s a serious crossover of skills between trial and hard enduro , GASGAS dreamed up the ultimate challenge to see just how close the two disciplines actually are . The plan ? Take the top privateer finisher at the Scottish Six Days Trial – a brutally tough event in its own right – and give that rider the full GASGAS Factory Racing treatment in order to take on the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo ! And that ’ s exactly what we did with British trial ace Tom Minta , who reached Carl ’ s
Dinner and walked away with an incredible 28th place finish !
History shows that successful trial riders make great hard enduro riders . That ’ s why our idea of taking the top privateer finisher at the SSDT to the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo was something we just had to do . And knowing how tough and technical the Scottish Six Days Trial is , it was the perfect event to find someone we thought would be capable of taking on the infamous Iron Giant .
