Check out this gnarly Rock section during the Best in the Desert Vegas to Reno! Shoutout to the guys on bikes that made it through without putting a foot down!
@@H43339 I know but I didn't want to say that. I've been a rider for many years, and I've been to a fair number of these type of races. It's easy to spot the experienced riders from the posers in the technical sections. Hey there're out there doin' it, livin' the dream, I'm just an observer.
Michael Dose, yes you have to give them credit for trying, But they are not very good riders, I rode for years but sold my CR500 when I turned 50, figured I had been lucky enough, I am 63 now and I am positive I could ride right through that section. Have Fun Good Luck !!
@@H43339 In fairness, there was a range of rider ability. Some of them picked a line and powered through. Others, looked at it, their body language said I don't have a clue and this is going to be ugly and it was. In any event thanks for your input, I appreciate your thoughts.
This race actually ends in our little town called Dayton, NV. We watched them rolling in this yr. They ride a lot of the trails we ride our side by side on.
Being a geologist, I noticed all of the brightly colored jaspers and agates in those rocks. If I was racing a dirtbike through that, I doubt I'd be able to help myself from stopping and picking up a sample or two from there. With my teeth obviously, because I'm not so good on a dirtbike and I would definitely go face first over the handlebars through all of that nope.
Sad, enter a race like BAJA and can't ride across rocks any better than that. I hope that he made it to the finish line or he's still lost out there in the wilderness!
Looks like the trick is to slide your weight back a little and maintain momentum with full commitment. Watching that one dude was painful! I bet he's regretting that party the night before! Lol
You have to get in top of the rocks and not let the speed drop off or your SCREWED! And not in a good way. If any of those guys on motorcycles old lady's seen them riding through that rock pile they'll get laid again.
Rocks are hard to do when you're already tired. # 711 needs to find a different sport. The guy he was holding up was very nice about it, I'd a been pissed off.
Only the riders sitting more on the rear shock and let the front wheel relax to pop up easier are making it through. Everyone else applies to much pressure on the front forks. Plus the may not be dialed in for this.
To add context, if these riders were fresh they would still struggle. Check the pants seat of some of the riders. Soaked. These guys are hot and tired.
YouTuba!! showing dirt bikes, could this be the start of something even greater!!!
Amazing watching the different skill levels on the bikes.
Some of those bike riders are Really Bad !!!

You can tell which guys have only ever rode MX before lol
3:42 “DONT GET PICTURES OF THAT!“
“OK..”
Proceeds to upload it to the internet 😂
hahaha
Thanks for including the bikers and quads, its fun to see how different vehicles tackle those rocks.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Stop screwin around people! This is a fantastic channel with fantastic content! Doesn’t have nearly the subs it deserves?!? 🙏💪🏼🇺🇸
Im working on it! Thanks for watching.
Dirt bikes getting some footage too that’s what I like too see.
That was fun watching all the classes coming through, and at the same time painful af.
Was that #711 first time on a moto?? Holy shite batman that was some seriously inept pushing....
700 numbers are Ironman class (whole thing solo). That dude was probably exhausted and over his limit.
I hope #711 made the finish line and not lost out there in the wilderness!
That was hard to watch, poor fellow needs to get back to camp. He looked completely exhausted!
Love the dirt bike and quad content!
Love seeing the quads! It shows what we really go through in Baja so sick!🔥
The first quad was an angel for his patience with that biker.
4:55. Smashed it!
It’s Skyler Howes, that man can do it all lol
1:32 absolutely killed me. "Oh fuck, ROCKS!' lol Ya gotta commit, or you are screwed
Lol I’m pretty sure from his number he is Ironman class. It may have been “Really…Rocks…” lol
That guy was horrible. Need strengthen his core

Trophy trucks be like: rocks? Never heard of 'em
Bike 711 should probably learn to ride prior to entering a competition
oof. one day when im an old man with enough money to go race that will be me eating shit on the rocks

711 on the dirtbike is an absolute goof.

I tried to cross rocks like that on a heavy xr650r- never again! 4 wheels are much steadier
The suspension on the trucks is crazy cool.

Number 711 is me. On one of those days. All of these start with "oh no, coffee is empty" 😅
The cars made rocks more stable at the last but damn thise first one's for them bikes were hell😁
I suspect motorcycle #711 is still trying to get off those rocks....
5:32 excellent choice of path !!!!!
01:00 🤘🏼😎🤙🏼
That's rough track
Looks tough tbh!!
Bring Graham Jarvis there...
For the absolute King of "Hard enduro" is just another day at the beach!
Graham Jarvis N°1 forever.
Gee's these guys on the bikes and quads need to learn some clutch and throttle finesse. Smooth is the key. These guys got the revs threw the roof lol.
I wanted one of the Baja trucks to just pin it and launch rocks lmao
You can tell whose ride two track desert and whose ride some good single track, #711 smh man was struggling
Where is this spot located exactly?
CRAP! - my shift lever got bent just WATCHING this - and I don't even OWN a bike...!
It's so much fun to ride.
After seeing this, I’d sooner be “in” than “on”
The Virginia City GP was like that this year, but 25 miles with of that shit
Marked and filled in some holes 2 days ago before it rained right there
That's why you don't take two wheels where only four should go! 😂
in fact it's the opposite, there are places where the two wheels go and the four don't.

Love it
Got to get back as far on the bike to get the front tire light
A couple of those guys have no business racing a bike
I want to know the length and breadth/width of that tunnel
Race was vegas to reno but I bet 711 end somewhere in Utah
Number 711= first time on a moto , number 11= a million time on a moto :)
Eye hand coordination
To add context, if these riders were fresh they would still struggle. Check the pants seat of some of the riders. Soaked. These guys are hot and tired.
1:55 I'm not sure what's wrong but I feel bad for that guy
Are some of these clips old?
Donde es esa pasada?
Some of those bike riders were good. Others, not so much.
A good time was had by all...
I know these races are supposed to be tough but that’s pretty much borderline stupidity for the motorcycles to drive through a boulder field
the red one was drunk?
anyone with a cop siren needs to lose by default
every Truck/Car has a siren.
@@You-TUBA maybe it's a safety thing, but those guys are as annoying as all the whistlers along a downhill mountain bike race track
@@TokenTombstone hard to see if there's someone behind you when they're in your dust. It's a heads-up to move over or get nerfed
711 first day on a bike!
First comment
When tired it is easy to tip over and picking the bike up makes you more tired. And repeat And repeat And repeat And repeat ...
How many broken bones
Lemah
Why place those rocks there . I'd fire someone.
No71 best
And as you are killing your self some one like Colton haker goes by at 25 skimming across.🤔🤬🤬
