David Knight

The ultra-competitive sport of Enduro has produced many greats, but one man stands above them all – David Knight.  His childhood dream of becoming a world-beater has been in dramatic style – he is a two-times World Enduro Champion, six-times British Enduro Champion and in 2007 won the USA’s Grand National Cross Country series at his first attempt! Plus, ‘Knighter’ has notched up win after win on high profile, extreme events, including Last Man Standing, Erzberg, AMA Endurocross and more.  Now, the full story of this truly incredible sportsman is told in David Knight – Iron Man of Enduro. The DVD, narrated by Long Way Round and the Long Way Down star Charley Boorman, traces Knight’s life from his early days at home in the Isle of Man to global domination, and follows the 29-year-old throughout a hectic ‘07 season  Charley explained why he agreed to get involved: “Ever since I started training for the Dakar Rally, which I did last year, David Knight’s name constantly came up, as I was doing the Hare & Hound races and two-day Enduros myself.”  ‘I was lucky enough to meet him a couple of times, especially as he was going past me on his back wheel shouting at me to get out of the way as I wasn’t fast enough!’  ‘He has an immense ability and is an inspiration to many, and that’s why I got involved with the DVD, which shows how incredibly talented the man is.’  David Knight – Iron Man of Enduro features archive home movie of the young Knight in action, and pictures from the family’s private photo album. It is fascinating to discover where this phenomenal rider has come from, and the influence of his Isle of Man homeland and close-knit family, including his much-missed dad.  Interviews with Knight, filmed exclusively for this DVD, let viewers in on the secret of his success, and reveal what makes this remarkable sportsman tick.  The program is also packed with jaw-dropping action and awesome extreme riding.
