Anaconda MTB Enduro stars on Channel 10

(All events - Posted 24/06/2009)

Those competitors lucky enough to participate in the Anaconda MTB Enduro last month will recall the media onslaught with the Channel 10 production crew filming several stages of the event. The footage was edited and featured on the ‘9am with David and Kim’ show and we have to boast that it looks fantastic!

Narrated by our very own General Manager, Sam Maffett, and with several interviews of riders, it really demonstrated what a great event it is and the fun and social aspect to the 5 days of racing.

Well done to those who made the cut, you all came across really well.

If you didn’t make it to Alice Springs and want to see what the race is about then have a look – hopefully we’ll see you there next year!
