• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Video AMA National Round 8 Panaca Nevada

How lucky .. at the 1:29 mark you get roosted by some guy pointed the wrong direction but in a hurry ...

And that pass at the 10:39 mark had a little attitude ;0 ) ... Its like the desert was not big enough for 2 lines ...

That canyon area looked really gnarly ..

Thanks for the video ...
 
This is some, if not the toughest racing. Heat, ruff & dust for 170 miles! The local MX guys complain if the track isnt watered each hour or not prepped to perfection.
Looks like fun. I need to ride the desert before I'm done.

Looks really desolate out there ... Just image the early settlers coming across from east of the Mississippi through all the different land scapes and then hitting this area in the west before the coast area was reached ...

Do the sweepers just ride the course at the end of the race and have ropes to pull bikes out that might have got busted? This is no place to send a MX rider who can't finish a 20 minute race in the civilized world ...
 
Ya, seems like the Husky scared that 4s off the trail @10:39**************************************** NICE

Once you ride Desert you will be hooked Plus the sound of a 165 pinned is just great

I have no idea why he went off the trail. the sound of the 165 pinned must have let him know I was there
As you can see it took a few seconds to reel him in so he must have known I was there.If that was a motocross pass we would have banged bars first before getting by.

People from other areas have NO IDEA how desolate the west really is.I live 100 miles south east of Los angles .Going east on Int10 from me there is only one real town between where I live until you get to
Phoniex Az. that is Blyth Ca on the Colorado river.Keep going west thru Az then new mexico and texas it is really empty of people.If you drive toward Vegas there is nothing from here to Vegas then really nothing from Vegas to Salt Lake City Utha.Even when I drive from my house to Idaho up thru Nevada there is really nothing out there.Going south there is Mexico and Baja and People really do not understand how empty upper Mexico is.The central and southern Mexico has way more then the upper parts.If you like to ride this is the place to live I have been lucky enought to ride just about all the areas around me for up to around 1,000 miles.Never having to ride on the street to get to just about any city.
As for getting stuck or a way back in from a race there are many 4x4 roads all over and the sweep just helps you get to a road and a truck will pick you up.
If I go out for a long ride by your self it is best to carrie a SPOT and then you can allways call for help
 
That is an awesome video...being from the East, the bomb run seems very sketchy at best...

But I guess it's supposed to string people out before the main trail...looks like it works!

The guy you pass at the 10 minute mark seemed oblivious that you were even there till you were right beside him...

He definitly panicked! Not even sure he stayed up!

and yea, the 165 sounds nice...

Thanks for the report.
