Desert racing footage

[MxRob]

Just wanted to share some racing footage of what I do for fun in my spare time. This place is located in the eastern Mohave desert.

This is called the bomb or the beginning of the race. 4 different skill level classes leave 5 minutes a part starting with the pros and race (or bomb) down a huge valley for 5 miles and funnel into a tight trail. It then takes you for a 35 mile loop through every kind of terrain the desert can throw at you. There are deep ruts, drop offs, deep sand washes, rocks and hills. I love it. :bigsmile:

Years ago before the tree huggers were around they used to burn a tire and everybody raced to the "smoke bomb" where the trail narrowed down a valley.
