It’s taken a few months, but we finally have a video to go along with the story of Spurgeon and I tackling the 2016 LA-Barstow-Vegas on a Ural Gear Up Sahara. I sincerely hope you enjoy!
I allude to this in the video, but the idea to do this on a Ural started as a joke. Serious kudos to Ural for letting us take one out for a ride it was not designed for. Obviously, it struggled – but it did better than we expected and we made it! Some people on normal dual sports could not say the same.
Creating videos like this is a challenging and expensive proposition, so this never would have happened without the following people and companies donating their time, expertise, and/or equipment. Many thanks to:
Nathan May
Aaron Schasse
Brett Walling
Ellen Oliveira
Ural Motorcycles
Alpinestars
Sena
EagleRider
RevZilla
Also, thanks to the following people/bands for letting us use their music (in order of appearance):
Noam Hassenfeld – Rip it Up
Tyler Keith & The Apostles – Criminal Gene
Bigjoy – What I Hear
Francesco D’Andrea – Bad Ass
Day Of The Outlaw – What I Want
Napalmpom – Guided By Volume
