This will be more pics than a run report.

First off this also a memorial for Blake and Jake.
Blake and Jake were best friends that loved the desert. Whether it was prerunners or dirt bikes.
Blake and Jake were also my nieces best friends.
Both were killed in the Borderline bar and grill shooting in Thousand Oaks in 2018.
The memorial is also recognizes all 12 that were killed that night.

The event is held at the Dirt Diggers camp in Ridgecrest.
Weather was warm.
So it started at 10:45am with a run from Dirt Diggers to the BLM wild burro and horse holding facility.
All ran through the hills to get there.
Once everyone ate lunch and fed the burros. We headed back to the Blake and Jake memorial benches overlooking the Dirt Diggers camp.
After some stories and a toast to Blake and Jake. It was back to camp.
Dinner tickets were sold and dinner started at 6. Live band came at 8pm. They played until 10pm.

My brother Jeep



My nieces friends Jeep with the bar in the side window.


And then the older kids ranger.


My younger son decided to get back on his dirt bike after a little over a year of not riding it.
And of course he kissed the dirt the first minute he was on it just riding to the staging area.

Sat here for a bit. The mom of Blake spoke and so did Blakes younger brother.
Then we all did a toast. to them and the others that lost their lives in that tragic shooting.



Parents, siblings and his friends.

The Saturday evening my kid was hitting this jump. He's done it before. But when it was street deavers and non caged.
He must of hit this jump about 15 times that evening. Once he got a feel of how the truck handles and reacts. By the end the jumps got bigger.
Unfortunately that little gutless 3.0 couldn't push the truck any faster anyways. Luckily the landing was on a downhill so the landing wasn't that harsh. That's one reason he kept hitting the jump so much. So far this is the biggest jump has done with the truck.
And once again. It always looks bigger in person. Pics never do justice on any of this.

What was cool. Is some teenage kids on dirt bikes saw him jumping. And asked if he could do it again so they can get a video of it.

Since I was up top spotting. What better thing to do than ask if the dirt bike kids wanted to go for a ride in it when he jumped it.
So he harnessed them in. Ran them down a little whoop section. Turned around and came back and hit the jump with them in it.
And by this time my kid was feeling comfortable with the jump.
He gave 4 kids a ride and jump in the ranger. Then my kid took 5 of cousins and other family members. for a ride and the jump.
