Sam Schirmer finished first in the expert class at Saturday’s enduro motorcycle races at the Schirmer Family Farm off the South Klondike Highway.

There were 41 riders participating, from the age of five years old and up, in six different classes.

Unlike the more motocross dirt bike racing, the Enduro-X event involves some track racing but also involves driving over and around obstacles, like rocks, logs, culverts, old tires and the like.

A small pile of large rocks may seem harmless when you walk by. Try driving your dirt bike through them, with the front and rear wheels getting hung up or pulled into ruts.

All six classes raced three heats, each 15 minutes in duration.

Second in the expert class was Tony Watson followed in third by Joey Cretien.

In the intermediate A division, Cole Beaman finished in first ahead of his dad Mike Beaman while Mike Murphy came in third.

James Verville took the intermediate B class, with Terje Kristensen finishing second and Sawyer Adams third.

In the Under-15 division, Adams finished first ahead of Ruder Brulotte and Austin Larkin.

Kayden Brulotte won the mini class with Memphis Nolan placing second and KJ Raymond in third.

Five-year-old Aiden Murphy won the pee wee division with five-year-old Royce Thomas placing second.

The medieval Company of the White Wolves provided the entertainment between heats.

The next event hosted by the Yukon Cross Country Motorcycle Association will be held Aug. 11 at the Schirmer ranch.

“The harescramble is more about the rider versus the trail in endurance,” explained Mike Beacon, rider and organizer. “You go for one or two hours, depending on the class. The riders come back and basically fall off their bikes.”
