  ISDE 2011:
FINLAND
For 6 days, the best off-road motorcycle riders in the world went head to head riding the unforgiving terrain of Southern Finland. Team USA was up against the very fast Fins with some very nasty terrain and bad weather thrown in. The 87th annual running of the International Six Days Enduro [ISDE] was held in Kotka Finland in August 2011, 400 of the fastest enduro riders in the world work to prove who was the fastest and the best. The riders cover 1500 KM in total and ride more than 7 hours a day and do all their own maintenance. The team from IGNITION3 shot all the action in full HD and put together a show that conveys just how breathtaking, difficult, and grueling this event can be. This is one of the toughest ISDEs ever. The Team USA World Trophy Team featured Kurt Caselli, Destry Abbott, Jimmy Jarrett, Tim Weigand, Colton Udall, and Nathan Kanney. Finland was on their home turf and ready for all comers. Juha Salminen, Eero Remes, Marko Tarkala, Jari Mattila, Valtteri Salonen of the Finish trophy team were anxious to show the world how to ride the forests, sand, rocks, and mud on their home turf. Italy, France, Australia and over 30 other countries sent their best riders. The terrain is as beautiful as it is difficult. The riding is spectacular and the action is non-stop. ISDE 2001 FINLAND gets you deep inside the toughest off-road race in the world.
