    Just want to say thanks for all the work you put into this channel. I just got the chance to ride codriver in a desert truck for the fist time earlier this year. As part of my prep, I combed youtube trying to find anything I could.
    Your channel has consistently been good for showing racing as it really is. Dirty, exhausting, exhilarating, excruciating, and everything in between. You talk about things like bird strikes or pre running safety that nobody else really touches on. I can't thank you enough, those little nuggets really help teams like ours that doesn't have the luxury of extensive experience.
    Keep doing what your doing and I'll keep watching. If you ever feel like your running dry for content ideas, I would happily sit through videos on strategy/operations such as how you handle communications with what I assume is a fairly large team or how you and your codriver handle the information load of navigating at speed while still keeping an eye on vitals. My workload was intense and we weren't traveling nearly as fast as you guys are so any insights would make my month.

    What a rollercoaster watching you start first then on the tracker see you clearly have an issue and just saw you sitting and sitting and sitting. After watching all yours and Bryces pre-run videos and all the work you both put in I was just so bummed for you. But what an awesome experience for you with qualifying and getting to team with someone you watched growing up. This is just the beginning of the journey and there are many awesome things to come.

    We were trackside doing media work around mile 31. I got concerned when you did not come thru first or within the first few trucks. I was really bummed to learn that you had a breakdown take your team out after we got back to town later on. Smart decision to not continue and there is always the next race. I am really sorry that happened to you Bryce and your guys. Will be rooting for you next year. I hope you and Bryce can team up again. Will be rooting for you next year.

    1 year away from my first and only baja1000 experience and been following you ever since. I enjoy your videos and the commentary. My question, and I didn't see it answered in any other videos was how did the ask to race with Bryce come about? Did you get a text? phone call? did you jump at the offer or take a let me think about it attitude ?

    That's the Baja 1000! If you don't decide on safety here, you have no business there. It was the right decision. Only those who have the balls to make such a decision have the balls to conquer the Baja. Not in 2024, but you can come back in 2025 with a clear conscience. It was a hard decision for the heart, but now it's stronger and bloodier to come back. 🖤🤎🧡❤‍🔥✌
