LOS
ANGELES, CA
- FUEL TV (www.fuel.tv),
Fox Sports Media Group’s dynamic action sports network for males,
announces the premiere of the new, exciting motocross adventure
series “Rip
To The Tip”
on Wednesday,
April 11
(11:00 PM ET/8:00 PM PT).
Featuring 37 motocross riders, “Rip To The Tip” takes viewers on
a thrilling eight-day, 1,500 mile journey through some of the most
unforgiving terrain on Earth, from the U.S. Border to the tip of Baja
California.

The
show follows a brotherhood of motocross professionals and amateurs
including some of the biggest names in the sport, plus a mixed bag of
dirt legends, Baja veterans, off-road racers and Rip “fresh fish.”
Cast members include Rip Founder and Host Cameron Steele, 11-time
Baja 1000 Champ Johnny Campbell, Supercross Champion Jeremy McGrath,
Off-Road Star Casey Currie, Long Distance Jump Record Holder Trigger
Gumm, and a motley crew of racers, desert rats and newbies.

“’Rip
to the Tip’ will keep our audience on the edge of their seats as
they watch these bikers get challenged physically and mentally, in a
journey you won’t believe,” says Melissa Forman, Senior Vice
President of Programming, Development & Current, FUEL TV. “The
riders push their limits to make this an unforgettable adventure.
After watching, viewers will feel like they’ve made the dangerous
trek with them.”

Each
30-minute episode showcases the crew as they struggle to ride every
mile of the trip known as the “Full Pull” - a coveted status
riders like to achieve - traversing the entire Baja Peninsula. The
bikers travel over some of the most treacherous, isolated, desolate
and beautiful landscapes.

From
extreme heat, the freezing cold, sand, wind and mud to sleep
deprivation, exhaustion and dehydration, the “Rip To The Tip”
pushes riders to the limit as they attempt to conquer this rare
achievement. In the end, they dedicate the trip and pay tribute to
good friend and X Games Medalist Jeff “Ox” Kargola, who
tragically passed during the ride.

To The Tip”
on FUEL TV, Wednesday, April 11 (11:00 PM ET/8:00 PM PT). Each of the
