The Best In The Desert Series wrapped up with the infamous BlueWater Desert Challenge in Parker, AZ over the weekend. The 23 mile loops consisted of nearly 20 miles of sketchy trophy truck/buggy whoops that you hit going 70+ on two wheels with dust! Not to mention the silt, hidden rocks, and holes that those trucks bring up.

Here's the race course early Saturday morning before the trucks got to it. I rode quite a bit faster Sunday, but forgot to turn my camera on...

Ballzee business. F that! Big scary jumps less scary.
They both give “that rush” that keeps us riding.
But I’m with you, ripping across the desert at 100+ isn’t for everyone !

Nice ride man, I did the Baja 500 a few years ago and got called crazy by the truck guys for doing it on 4 wheels, not a chance I'd be willing to try it on 2, some of those rocky sections are way too sketchy

How can they run quads in the same race ? Not very clever

It gets pretty sketchy racing around them. Last month BITD went to Glen Helen and we were lapping them for 5 laps which was less than ideal..
