🍂 We’re headed to Fall Crawl! 🍂

We’ll have a booth set up at Fall Crawl this year, so if you’re up there, be sure to stop by, say hi, and hang out with us for a bit!
We’re also sticking around to catch all the action at the WE ROCK Grand Nationals afterward. 🤘🏁

It’s going to be a great weekend of wheeling, competition, and catching up with the off-road community. Hope to see some familiar faces there! 🌶️🛞

We are looking for volunteers to help judge at Grand Nationals! See the teams up close and personal! Judges meeting is 8am Saturday morning. Interested? See the link below!

😂 Somewhere in US, there’s a guy looking at a bent tie rod, busted U-joint, three stripped gears, and a blown shock thinking:

“Wait… you mean I’m not a hoarder? I’m a trophy artist.” 🏆😂

I want to see some creativity!

Participants will vote each day, and the winners will be announced Saturday night.

As of right now, we are planning to have the meeting at 9. Should take about an hour or less, and then we will break off to run some trails in the Robledos (original Chile Challenge Trails). Trails will be announced as it gets closer. If you would like to volunteer to lead an overland or moderate trail, we would love to hear from you! Mike and I will probably lead a hard trail and some of the extreme guys may want to hit one of the hardcore ledge trails out there.

If you would like to volunteer to lead or gun trails or if you just want to help in camp, please come out and get plugged in!

🌶️ Some events you attend. Some events you don't forget.

Chile Challenge is the second kind.

I was there last year and I'll tell you straight.

The trails in New Mexico are absolutely killer. Technical, scenic, and incredibly well-organized from start to finish.

This isn't just another offroad gathering.

It's four days of legit trail culture done right, for every skill level, in one of the most stunning landscapes you'll find anywhere in the Southwest.

And here's a bonus nobody talks about Hatch, New Mexico is right there.

The chile capital of the world.

And if you've never stopped at Sparky's for their World Famous Green Chile Cheeseburger, you're going to want to build that into the trip.

October 14-17. Caballo Lake State Park, New Mexico.

Are you going? Because you really should be. 👇
