The annual Best In The Desert Vegas To Reno is in the books! Like always, speeds were high with an average of 62MPH covering 515 in 8 hours and 20 minutes.

Check out some highlights from the start of the race. Nothing will wake you up more than going 100+ and 5:50AM!


Here's some highlights from later in the race around RM 367 - RM 436 ~

It’s an amazing race. I ran it Ironman a few years ago. Awesome experience!

You're an animal, Trevor! Your near-miss with the mule a few months back cured me of any desire to race in the high speed stuff....😆

You go up a spring rate to carry those balls around?

So gnarly!
Seems like your bike pulled 6th gear really well.
Congrats on the finish!

Check out Pit 5 - Pit 6 from Tonopah to Millers, NV ~



Here's the first few miles leaving Pit 12. From Pit 12-13 may have been the fastest overall section of the race, but my helmet cam died when the video ends and misses the crazy high speed dry lake bed section ~

Yeah I'm still a little spooked about that one but I was glad I got to enjoy the race this year rather than ride it scared and hurt like I did with that one!

Hell of a job my man!!! 27 mins off Brabec and Norman, I say thats incredible! I had two buddies race it for the first time and they finished 6th overall, unfortunately they only listed one name on the results instead of 3.
keep her pinned and safe!

86mph with a gear left....awesome!

Good ride, one of these days I'm gonna get on a Vet team for V2R. Haven't been since I was 16 and we seized our bike between pit 3-4 that day.

I'm out lol, doing nearly 100mph at end on that sand wash track with big janky ruts going all over the place is a hard no lol. Commitment at wiping your gopro at 90mph is Dizzy

Scary to think Skylar Howes crashed at those speeds....no wonder Brabec had to wake him up when he got to him....Blink

Amazing footage, Trevor!!!

I didn't have a spotter up there, but I believe they were filming some of the top guys for the first few hundred miles or so. They put that green tape on our bars and helmet for easy spotting

It's definitely a must do to make it to the finish and it's pretty fun jumping on and off the bike and chasing at 100mph just to make it to the next pit in time!

I'd rather do that than go 60 on some of those rocky two-track roads Laughing
