Jonno was invited to compete in the Head 2 Head Enduro Cross at the Sydney Motorcycle Show this past weekend, against the top Trails and Enduro riders in Australia. The course consisted on tyre double and log jumps, tyre and log obstacles and a narrow plank of timber jump. Friday saw the mercury rise to over 40 degrees for the afternoon session of practice and the competitors finding it hard going and being Jonno's first time at Enduro Cross, found himself totally exhausted at the end of practice. Once Jonno had time to rehydrate, he had a chance to look around the show and was able to have a photo shoot and chat with one of his idols, Robbie Maddison.

The weather had changed dramatically from the day before, with the temperature below 20 degrees. Race time started at 2pm and saw the Stadium fill with over 2000 people, which daunted Jonno a little bit. Race time come and all fear was gone as Jonno won his three heats and more into the finals. The finals consisted rider elimination and saw Jonno finish fourth on the day  Jonno on plank and tyre jump Sunday, Jonno was back at the Stadium again ready for another round of Enduro Cross, in front of a similar sized audience as the day before. This round of time splits at practice and time qualification, saw Jonno's time splits between the top riders and himself dramatically reduced (top rider completing the course in 35 seconds and Jonno completing the course in 42 seconds). With the better time split, Jonno was up against the Transmoto test rider, who just pipped Jonno in the three heats.
