2025 British Extreme Enduro: Jack Price bosses the Ballbreaker
Results from round one of the 2025 ACU British Extreme Enduro Championship, the Ballbreaker Extreme, where Sherco UK’s Jack Price takes dominant win.
A decisive move on the opening lap of the Ballbreaker Extreme, sailing up the seemingly impossible ‘Double trouble’ hillclimb set Jack Price up on a route to victory at the first round of the British Extreme series.
It was a wet, windy and muddy opening weekend of the British series at the Hapton venue, a vast moorside with a notorious rock garden up top of the mountain and a never-ending gulley.
The Sherco UK rider, Price, put all his considerable trials skills to good use in overtaking early leader Dan Mundell, and eventual runner-up Jack Spencer, in one move. Price put the impressive hillclimb to maximum advantage to establish a lead, set a fast first lap while his rivals continued to piece that tough gulley section of the lap.
Price went on to set the pace through just over two hours racing and was the only rider to complete six laps of the typically tough course laid on by Wayne Braybrook and the RAW Enduro crew.
Beta UK’s Jack Spencer was the best of the rest. Although he didn’t quite get to the lap scoring sharp enough for an extra lap like Price had, Spencer still set an consistant pace around the course which featured additional sections for the Championship class.
Completing the podium for Sherco UK, Dan Peace was comfortably third, eight minutes adrift of Spencer but well clear of Alfie Royle fourth with Charlie Frost completing the top five.
Shoutout to that lap one leader Dan Mundell for his all-round skills demonstration. The European and British Enduro champion earned serious respect from the appreciative crowd for tackling the British Extreme series. His 350 four-stroke sure gripped in the Lancashire mud (and there was plenty of it) but equally carries a weight disadvantage. A chunk of time untangling a stretch of fence wire from his back wheel cost Dan a better result.
Bert Boam took victory in the massively popular Expert class ahead of Matt Studdard and Jack Winn.
