Enter a world in Central Austria where 1300 extreme motocross riders line up to put themselves through an agonizing thrill ride of physical and mental endurance on a dirt bike. This is TOUGHER THAN IRON. An account of the toughest single-day motocross race in the world.

While some riders race for the podium, others come to for the challenge and to say they competed in one of the toughest races on earth. To them it is not about winning, it’s about finishing. That is the true spirit of Extreme Enduro where boys become men as soon as the flag drops.

The brainchild of international Enduro champion Fabio Fasola, 100 riders compete in a 2-stage torture test that starts in the morning and ends at night. It's a journey through jagged rocks, dark forests, steep hillclimbs and nasty waterfalls - making the riders beg for mercy. This film documents the godfather of Freestyle Motocross, Mike Metzger and the young extreme Enduro superstar Taddy Blazusiak, as they compete in what is considered one of the top 5 hardest motocross races in the world.
