AT THE LIMIT

“Probably one of the most dangerous moments of my life. ’’

POL TARRES

AT THE LIMIT

Look closely. Now look again. Pol Tarrés is an accomplished trials and hard enduro rider, but the bike he is throwing around atop this seaside cliff is not some single-cylinder two-stroke. Tarrés is pivoting a 450-pound-plus Yamaha Ténéré 700 in a space that isn’t even as wide as the bike is long.

The scene is from his latest video by @thewhoproject. The Seeker 2 is the follow-up to last year’s The Seeker, the phenomenon that boggled the minds of anyone who witnessed Tarres’ feats of balance and finesse on the T7. Virtuoso lensman Javi Echevarria Ruiz uses wide framing and perfect shutter timing to impress upon us the consequences Tarres will face if he gets it the slightest bit wrong.

Of course, no one needs to tell Tarres.
