The crew is a mixed bag of dirt bike legends, Baja veterans, off-road racers and Rip "fresh fish." The cast includes Rip founder and host, Cameron Steele, 11-time Baja 1000 Champ, Johnny Campbell, supercross champ Jeremy McGrath, X Games medalist Jeff "Ox" Kargola, off-road star Casey Currie, long distance jump record-holder Trigger Gumm, and a motley crew of racers, desert rats and newbies. Riders attempting the elusive "full pull" status (the award for covering every mile of the trip) will tackle expert-level single-tracks and trails, extreme heat, freezing cold, sleep deprivation, exhaustion, dehydration, sand, wind, rain, mud, and millions of spine-covered cacti. With a chase team of mechanics and media in tow, Rip riders zigzag their way over some of the most isolated, desolate and beautiful terrain on the planet. The Rip is not a race... it's a battle of attrition, and a test of wills.
