The desert might seem harsh and unforgiving at first, but with a little preparation and a whole lot of water and sunscreen, I'm here to tell you that it can be a massively fun time. (Unless you forget your sunglasses; don't forget your sunglasses.)
Recently, I had the chance to visit Sara Price and Ricky Brabec's epic new Rip and Dip Ranch. It's an off-road playground meant to give participants both an adrenaline-fueled good time in the desert and a relaxing, chill vibe on the beautiful Colorado River, with ample opportunity to experience both things in one extremely sunny, bright setting.
If you read my piece above about the trip, then you already have some idea about the vehicles I rode and drove in. In the morning, I rode shotgun with Sara Price in her race-prepped Can-Am Maverick R, and in the afternoon, I had the chance to drive a Can-Am Defender and test out some Dakar-spec BFGoodrich tires for myself.
