Interesting video/photo business model. They secure BLM/SITLA film permits for all the trails and they resell them to their participants in either an all-in ($3500) or bring your own photog ($1000) price. Likely more letter of the law than most companies/brand channels are those days with Moab which I applaud.

I recognize two. Fred Williams and Loren Healy.
We did both in the Wife's bone stock JLU, so neither is that tough. But TotW was definitely toughter than FNT, by a bit.

From what I understand it was some guys from SEMA that are doing this. Since SEMA has been cancelled they came up with this.
They worked through MFF4W to get guides for the week and were very disorganized. My name was on a list of trail leaders but I didn't hear back, and then there was another request for trail leaders. It came 2 weeks before the event and I had conflicting plans.

I only made it to the vendor show, and while it was relatively small compared to ejs there were some cool vehicles and all the usual swag. Lots of parts in a raffle that I couldn’t partake in due to time of drawing but for the first time event I think it will get bigger and better if they continue to put it on.

It wasn't bad for a first year. Trails were a little disorganized. Priority was photography of the trail leaders "celebrities", which held up the first part of the trail run. We ran steel bender with some H1's. I have been completely cured of ever thinking they are cool.
I didn't lead anything, just hung out in the back of the pack .

I bet every single person that rode in an H1 has spinal compression. That is a bumpy trail. And H1s right worse than a buckboard wagon.
I wheel to get away from "celebrities". That must have been super annoying. Last thing we need are more "celebrities" and "influencers"

I guess you and I will never wheel together then... I am kinda a big deal in my own mind...

I was just acting tough online. I secretly print out your wheeling pics and post them on my wall

It happened. It wasn't bad for a first year event. The people that put it on sure have the right connections for getting big names out. It was no ejs by any means. But it was nice just to go wheel moab. its been a few years since i've been down there.
