What desert racer would you like to see race in Dakar?

Yikes! That looks tough on foot, let alone on a bike. Great video demonstration, Scott, especially the 'ending' "Okay, now which way is correct?"

That wasn't me doing that video, it was Charlie Rauseo, who managed the school. At the end he's just waiting for Bill Conger to realize his mistake and come back.

Here's a video I took of Jonah Street going through that super narrow canyon (give it a few seconds to load):

The first time Jimmy Lewis came up to that point he thought it was a dead-end, and he turned around. I did the same thing when I was first scouting it a couple years ago. But I eventually figured out we could actually get through it, so for sure I was going to use it in the roadbook! For the cars, there's an easy way around it, up out of the wash. There's a similar narrow canyon on my route down near Yuma where McMillin was training. I made some roadbook edits to get them around that one.

P.S. More importantly, I don't suffer motion sickness.
