The April 2004 issue of "4 Wheels and Off Road" did a nice product review on dezertpeople video. Read below part of the article.

"Not everyone is interested in creeping along at 2 mph on the rocks, or spinning big tires in the mud until you're stuck to your frame in goo. In fact, once you get out to the deserts of the southwest you start seeing trucks that are meant to haul ass across the sand with suspensions that laugh at deep whoops and big rocks. If you want to get a taste of what all these flat-billers (that's SoCal slang for the trucker-hat-wearing desert race fans) are into, just get your hands on the Dezert People or Dezert People Second Lap DVD's or videotapes. You will quickly want to sell the farm and kids to finance your own Trophy Truck and head out to the dry, desolate places to hammer down.
With rocking music and insane trucks these vids are a pure delight to watch.
The camera angels are everywhere from under the frame, outside the trucks, in the cabs, and mounted to a helicopter over the race. Plus, there's some great footage of amateurs just having a blast jumping their 4x4s and motorbikes. The Second Lap video is a bit more dialed in than the first, but we recommend getting them both....."

at the AVI race last week the winner in heavy metal class came all the way from South Dakota with their old F-150 and looked real good doing it.

That guy from South Dakota is Monte Tibbits. He has been racing in the BORE series for the last two years and he is the one who beat us out of first overall for the season this year in BORE. He was doing short course stuff before racing in BORE and has only been doing desert for two years. His truck has come a long way in two years. When I first saw it, I thought now way will it finish a race. He made a lyer out of me!
