Trials | Daos Place

…the other day, and here they are for your enjoyment. Read on!

Your Youtube video ‘Graham Jarvis Extreme Training’ now has over 200,000 views, this video and all your others like the Extreme Tree Stump video have been posted on dozens of dirt bike forums worldwide, did you expect it to become this popular?
No I didn’t expect it to become so popular, I started out making them just for a bit of fun, but also to promote myself and my sponsors.

Any plans for any new videos any time soon?
I’ve made a new video which was filmed in Spain which was really good fun with some different terrain and drier conditions from where I normally ride. It will be released in the next few days.

I see you ride a Husaberg two-stroke when you’re not on a trials bike, what sort of things do you do to a new bike to set it up and make it more Jarvis-worthy? Any particular tyres you prefer, or personal preference things?
I dont really ride a trials bike anymore, my enduro bike is more or less standard. I use Goldentyre Tyres with a soft mousse in the rear for extra grip and my suspension is modified for extreme riding but nothing special for the videos.

What would you class as the toughest competition you’ve ever competed in?
Hell’s Gate without doubt is the toughest, hardest event, because it’s a full 9 hours riding of extreme, icy, gnarly conditions.

What would you class as the more difficult riding to excel in, trials or extreme enduro?
I think trials is more difficult to excel, but unless you have had a good trials background extreme enduro is difficult to reach a high standard.

Any plans of heading to the US any time to have a play in their endurocross series?
No real plans, but I would like to attend the X-Games. My main focus is on the outdoor extreme events.

What sort of things do you enjoy getting up to outside of riding motorbikes?
I dont have any real hobbies as such but I enjoy spending time with my kids, they are 7 year old twins, a boy and a girl.

Thanks so much for your time Graham, really do appreciate it! I can safely say that every dirt bike rider here in Australia is really hanging to see what your Spain video is gonna have. Very excited!

Here are some of the other Graham Jarvis clips that have made their way into circulation via Youtube, so take a few minutes out of your day to watch them, and then go out and burn your clutch out and wear your brake pads out trying to do the things you see in these videos. We will be posting up Graham’s latest video from Spain as soon as it’s uploaded, so watch this space!
