2016 Monster Energy Rip to Cabo (Rip Cabo)

Why is danger so sexy? I don’t know. But its siren song is screaming to me after watching just a few minutes of Rip To Cabo; one of the most visually-enticing off-road motorcycle videos I’ve ever seen. And that’s just the trailer.

Off-road racer, TV personality and dirt biker Cameron Steele hosts an annual trip down Mexico’s Baja peninsula called “Rip to Cabo.” I guess now it’s a TV show too!

I tend to end up cruising along slow enough to smell the tacos when I go adventure riding myself, but a hard-charging pace is a lot more fun to watch. I guess that’s why they’re putting this on network TV in conjunction with the X-Games this year.

Anyway the speed takes a back seat to the real essence of adventure riding; which I’d describe as leaving your problems and realities of life behind to focus on a singular mission of ‘making it,’ making friends and having fun.
