Graham Jarvis has been at the peak of off-road motorcycling for the best part of twenty-five years and has won the fabled and ridiculously perilous Erzberg Rodeo a record-equalling five times.
Since moving into the high-octane world of Hard Enduro in 2011, Graham has won its five major races - the Erzberg Rodeo, the Red Bull Sea to Sky, the Red Bull Romaniacs, the Tough One and Hell's Gate - no fewer than twenty-six times. It has made him one of motorsport's most successful riders.
In CONQUERING THE IRON GIANT, Graham takes us from his early years in Canterbury, where he started out on an old BMX bike that his dad had rescued from the tip, to competing against up to 1,800 riders in races where dozens are often airlifted to hospital, and only three or four finish . . . with Graham usually at the head of the field.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
Has anyone considered the fact that Graham Jarvis might not actually be human? [He] is a glitch in the Matrix - a complete oddity who can do things on a motorbike that most people only dream about - Trials & Motocross

Schweitzer Klassifikation
GRAHAM JARVIS won Junior Kickstart a record three times before turning professional in 1993. He went on to flourish as a Trials rider, winning the British Championship five times and the legendary Scott Trial nine times, more than any other rider, as well as the punishing Scottish Six Days Trial five times. In 2006 Graham was invited to compete in an Enduro race and found this suited him even more than Trials. Two years later, in 2008, he moved over to the newly formed Extreme Enduro and soon realised that he'd found his true calling. Since going on to dominate the sport, Graham has become the most followed off-road motorcyclist in the world, and even at the ripe old age of 43 he continues to wow his fans and confound his competitors. Graham lives in Ripon, North Yorkshire.
