BMW Motorrad International GS Trophy North America 2014 day 6

BMW Motorrad - The penultimate day of the 2014 International GS Trophy was a long one, taking the competitors 400 kilometres through the province of British Columbia, crossing time zones and including three special stages between the starting point at Balfour and the day's end in Fort Steele.

Each special stage had been designed by chief instructor Tomm Wolf and fellow course designer Pat Horan to be as tricky as possible. The first one – Stone Wall – came 10 kilometres into a dusty forest service road and required all team members to walk their three BMW R 1200 GS bikes, with the engines running, over a wall of boulders blocking the road. Requiring explosive strength, physical stamina and careful technique, it provided high entertainment value, tinged with danger, as flying rocks kicked up by the 125 hp GS bikes soon scattered onlookers to a safer vantage point.
