Don't talk crap about racing Baja until you have actually done i!.This is a hard core race with every type of unforeseen obstacle in it.No mommas boys out here, just the real deal .,It's just you the course and the thrill to twist the throttle wide open.
it is funny how people make stupid comments about baja. it may not be the most xtreme off road race. but how you explain that people from many countries come all the way into mexico to race. it may be for amateurs like some of you guys said but still ahell of a race. so instead of talking shit get on your bike and come to race
672,85 miles (1.076,56 km) in 13 hours with 27 minutes at a speed average of 80 km/h. is not so easy for my..¡¡ (in baja 1000), KTM, with its dynamic team of CIRYL DESPRES, David Pearson, Quinn Cody... and Shane Esposito and with the rich experience of team manager Chris Blais, have come away from their first ever entry in the legendary Baja 1000 with a THIRD place podium.... soooo for "amateur racers"??
Yes, at an international scale the Baja does not compare to some other events.
Erzberg rodeo, 120 mph + on 140 hp dualsport,bikes,Les Touquet, 1200+rider mass start and 110mph average on VEEEEry sandy French beach Red Bull Knock out, Romaniacs, and Dakar?, well thats a Baja everyday,on a 400 pound bike, and just one rider, for 14 days.
travis finish the rodeo erzberg, but he can´t finish de baja, why?? i don´t now... anyway its a beautiful race full of history, mystic, and challenges like any other in the world..¡¡ Take care my friend..¡¡
Oh yeah, certainly, its an awesome race, used to read the Julie wood stripcomic's about the Baja when i was a kid, (which is a long time ago), so agree lots of history, so you take care to my friend, enjoy the racing, and maybe i'll try the Baja next year
I, have iron manned the Baja 250, the 500 and 3 man team on the 1000 on a motorcycle. and also Iron Man the Vegas to Reno on a two stroke KTM 300
What venues have you competed in? Just curious....after Dakar next year I will tell you how different they really are from experience. Not speculation. Grow some ballz.
10 years on 500 ktm two stroke, countless beachrace's in Europe, up to 1200 compettitors mass start, currently prepping a 750 twin yamaha, hopefully competing in Baja next year, for fun as an Amateur
So yes i've been at the grid next to guys like Harry Everts, Joel smets, Eric Geboers, etc just to name a few, pro's and also many amateurs, just guys that don't get paid to ride, and wouldn't feel offended
That sounds fun, racing on the beach. As you know there are periods in Baja where you are on the beach? If you ask me, knowing you're on sand for 100 miles would be comforting knowing what's ahead. Sand. Are there trohpy trucks chasing you in these beach races?
I've been in between some just a few months ago, Honda Dakar europe Team, Mirjam Pol, some big trucks, didn't feel really comfy to tell you the truth, but i'm trying to put a team together to do the Dakar next year and Baja 500 is high on my list as well, if you're gonna be there, and i'm struggeling, i'll buy you a case of brewski, and admit to have been acting like an idiot, hows that sound?
But to answer your question, no there's no trucks in the bike class, i've done veronica's beach race in '83 '84 '85, le touquet in '92 and several others, and off course enduro nationals on open katoom's and 620's, last year in competition was back in '97, and ended in a wheelchair after severe crash, do you guys race Baja together with the trucks, and you;re planning to do the Dakar as well? its probably gonna be in Africa next year
some logistics in makin the race.. good terrain and intersting people/ i don't doubt for a second that you all are u to something too. keep it up. Baja is something to see as a)security
b) endurance
c)
having fun...
just hope you have fun on the beach races. Dakar is a dream and yes Africa again,
@327nlake I would love to see Dakar return to Africa. Paris-Dakar is just not the same, its missing something, wihtout being the original Paris- Dakar style circuits. Yes, I know Argentina-Chile are challenging, but its the nostalgia, the vibe, the feel, the history of the Sahara of Africa that makes it so mystical. I would love for it to go back to its proper location.
Maybe u don't know the Dakar rally, the American teams that have participated in the dakar rally have not even ended one day, the baja it's more easy of dakar, my friend in the old edition (1995)of BAJA 500 he finished also with a scooter, Gilera Typhoon 125
Lisen my friend... RALLY ES DIFERENTE QUE BAJA ..¡¡¡ ahi diferencias o diferences you know?? es baja no porque sea en baja californa.. es porque el FORMATO ES DIFERENTE ...¡¡¡¡¡ el rally es por etapas LA BAJA NO...¡¡¡ andersten?? :P ESTAS CONFUNDIDO .. los vehiculos son diferentes..¡¡ las motos... no hay camiones.. no hay trophy trucks en el dakar ni torc trucks, el terreno es diferente..¡¡ ITS NOT THE SAME THING .. otra cosa yo puedo hacer la baja en mountain bike y eso que??
estoy de acuerdo con MYLK22 por ke no mas gabachos y mexicanos no? todos acen el mismo esfuerzo como para no mas poner a los gabachos se ma ace medio ilogico
The video was bad ass, and still is three years later.

Awesome race, but more amateur oriented.
