The final challenge facing
competitors at the end of three
days’ racing at the NZ Enduro was
a crowd favourite. Organisers had
cruelly placed the finish line on
the far side of a freshly flooded
stream about 15 feet wide and
about two feet deep. Being a blind
race, no one knew how best to
cross this obstacle. In the end it
took Steve Peat with a monster
hop ’n’ pop to prove the creek
could be cleared in one single
leap, which inspired a few others
to give it a go.
