Renner in Ocotillo

Saw this on RacerX this morning... I'll be there - Watch Renner do the 'Hog Leap' aka the 'Shell Reef Bomb Drop'

Ronnie Renner is calling you out...to ride!
Join motocross superstar and X Games Gold medalist Ronnie Renner as he heads out to some of the top off-road riding spots in California. Renner and his crew will visit Ocotillo Wells (March 26-28), Glamis (April 7-11) and Pismo Beach (May 28 -30). You'll have the opportunity to ride, hang and rip up the desert sand with Renner, the cast of the Great Ride Open and other FMX legends at a few of Renner's favorite moto playgrounds. It's not every day you get to ride and party with the best. There's no rigorous schedule, no info booths and no egos...just pure freeriding. Load up the trucks, bikes and haulers and be a part of the action.
Ocotillo Wells is Renner’s favorite playground, making it the perfect spot for the tour to kick off. Located about an hour south of Palm Springs, Ocotillo Wells is legendary for its desert riding and natural terrain park feel.

A wide variety of off road vehicles can be operated within the park. These range from dirt bikes and ATVs to sand buggies and modified trucks. Any vehicle with a license plate or off road registration may be operated within the park.

Ocotillo Wells is located in Southern California in Imperial County. Take 1-10 East from Riverside County. Take left on 86 S in Indio towards Brawley/El Centro about 50 miles. Take 78 West to Ocotillo Wells. Just before the town of Ocotillo Wells is Cauhilla Trail on left hand side. Take Cahuilla trail about 1 mile. Red Bull Base Camp will be visible on the left.

GRINGO BANDITO - odalay holmes !!!


Has anyone tried this yet?... Gringo Bandito? It's the product of the 'Offspring' frontman Dexter...I'm always looking for a nice alternative to Tapatio or Chalula. Looks like they have it in San Clemente at Las Golondrinas.

I also like this stuff - they have it at 'la Tiendita' - you can only take it in small doses though, like a few drops on fish tacos with cabbage, or a teaspoon or so when making a batch of my Guiness Chili .

since we are making asada tacos in the dez this weekend... i'll try and grab a bottle of the
Gringo Bandito!~
