2023 Hard Enduro Heroes Ep. 1: SRT King of the Motos in Johnson Valley, CA

The Hard Enduro Heroes docu-series will follow the six-round Premier Championship of the 2023‪@IRCTireUSAMoto‬ US Hard Enduro Series, Presented by ‪@KLIMMotorcycle‬. These six episodes, documented by ‪@skypixelmedia‬, will tell the stories of the hard enduro athletes that compete on the gnarliest race courses in the United States.
The SRT King of the Motos in Johnson Valley, CA kicked off the AMA US Hard Enduro Series, which consisted of the Premier Championship and the first round of the AMA West Hard Enduro Series, Presented by ‪@BetaUSAMotorcycles‬. The King of the Motos last ran in 2021, where ‪@trystanhart84‬ ended up taking the win. With this year's KOM kicking off the three-weekend ‪@kingofthehammers_official‬, the course has gotten tougher and the competition is stacking up to be the toughest in recent memory.
This two-day format offered a couple chances to start on the front row of the final race. ‪@willriordan39‬ ended up winning the Prologue, where ‪@trystanhart84‬ would finish first in both Race 1 and Race 2, winning the 2023 SRT King of the Motos. ‪@codywebb2‬ would finish second on the race, with ‪@ryderleblond‬ finishing third. On the Pro Women's side, Kylee Sweeten would earn the win, with Hallie Marks and Bailey Lerwill rounding off the podium.
The next round of the 2023 USHE Premier Championship will kick off at the Grinding Stone Hard Enduro in Page, Arizona on March 25-26.

[@chrisfetter8090]

I’m amazed how well Trystan has been doing!

[@isadeHparasusletras]

🏍️💥

[@garretthorner]

Cody and Trystan are going to be so fun to watch this year
I wouldn’t be surprised if Cody wins the upcoming Endurofest over in Hawaii with that more trialsy terrain
If I’m a betting man though I’d have to go T for the championship given he’s one of the few who have beaten Mani Lettenbichler at his best since 2019 (along with Billy Bolt, Graham Jarvis, Wade Young, and Mario Roman). Trystan is 100% one of the best of the best in the world I’d love to see him race the full world championship this year too if the schedule allows

[@RyanBoardman234s]

Cody will be in Europe for Superenduro during Hawaii round. And yes, Trystan is racing the full international WESS series (or whatever it’s called now).

[@cdr188]

Webb beat Mani at this same race in 2020 for what it's worth

[@garretthorner]

@@cdr188 Not bashing Webb by any means because he did just beat mani in the first race at Terrainferno a couple weeks ago, but didn’t mani get a penalty that year?
Either way you’re right though a win is a win especially since navigation is such a big part of kotm

[@cdr188]

@Garrett Horner he did get a penalty, he and Cody were racing together and Cody saw he missed a section so he made sure to hit his marks and got the win. Had Mani not missed it, who knows

[@garretthorner]

@@cdr188 The joys of racing, every finish is a what if 🤟

[@FLATLANDERHUNT]

Man I love this. Is there a class for a 39yo?😂 I barely started riding 2 years ago and man I wish I started 20 years ago.

[@markmtbrider]

Cody is awesome and will keep Hart honest , but time is the undefeated champion , though Garvis is giving a run for its money.

Did you see,... the first 10 ryders all on Europien bikes,.....thank you.
