Red Bull Ronnie Renner Freeride Tour - Ocotillo 1

On March 26 - 28, thousands of off-roaders loaded up
their RVs, dirtbikes and sand machines and descended into the dust of
Ocotillo Wells, Calif. - an iconic desert playground that's
world-renowned as a top off-road riding destination. When they got
there, they were greeted not only with near-perfect weather, but also
with the presence of some of the top names in freeriding - Ronnie
Renner, Tommy Clowers, Jeff Tilton, Myles Richmond, Drake McElroy, Steve
Hauglstein and more. These riders were all in Ocotillo Wells for the
first stop of the Red Bull Ronnie Renner Freeride Tour, a three-stop
tour designed to give off-road enthusiasts the chance to meet, party and
ride with the pros.



Throughout the weekend, riders stumbled upon the Red Bull
Oasis and were invited in to interact with Renner and Co. - getting
autographs, photos, and face time with these motocross icons. They were
also invited to ride with Renner and his crew around the desert and
watch them push the limits of freestyle motocross on natural terrain. On Saturday night, after
two days of riding, Renner hosted and emceed a blow-out party, which
naturally featured a few dance challenges from those familiar with
Renner's moves off the bike.



The Red Bull Ronnie Renner Freeride Tour has two more
stops to come: up next is the Glamis Flats in Glamis, Calif. on April 7-11 and Pismo
Beach / Oceano Dunes on Memorial Day Weekend. The Glamis Sand Dunes are
the most popular off-road destination in Southern California, with
hundreds of thousands of visitors arriving on various holiday weekends,
and estimates that more than one million visitors come every year.



To meet up with Renner in Glamis, take 1-10 East from
Riverside County. Take a left on 86 South in Indio towards Brawley/El
Centro. 86S will turn into 78 East. Stay on 78 East all the way until
you see the Beach Store and Glamis Flats on the left hand side off the
highway. The Red Bull Base Camp will be located about a half mile down
from the entrance and vendor area.
