2022 Odessa Desert 100 Ironman Poker Run

Technically we started the ride on the Ironman, but we decided to bail out to the Family Poker Run at the hot dog checkpoint to give our newbie rider a shortcut out (this was her 2nd day ever on a dirtbike!). We saw some other pretty crazy characters out there sending it in the desert - vintage mopeds, big adventure bikes, pit bikes, a Honda Grom, a dad riding 3-up with his 2 kids all on the same bike... I need to get a beater bike next year to really prove my worth! Or maybe the Tiger... Great day of riding, but HOLY HELL DUST.

3:37 with the guy with the 2 kids.. that’s my father in law with my 2! The kid on the backs bike died! Thanks for the video! I only got to hear about it!

[@SamChou]

Awesome! That was a sight to behold, I was so impressed. I was so happy to see he was on a DRZ, too.

[@BrapBang]

Looks like a great crew and a great ride and.... YOU GOT THE STICK!

[@SamChou]

I GOT THE STIIIIIIIIICK!

[@bobcampbell1037]

DR powah! Chasing the stick was hilarious. I was out there on my white DRZ, did 2 laps of the Ironman poker run.

[@garynewton4564]

Thanks, Sam. Nice video! I was there too. First timer....It was amazing site to see all the bikes and really everyone was so cool and having fun...the way it should be 👍 See ya all next year!

[@JHack840]

Good Vid, I was there somewhere. I felt like Hunter Thompson in Fear in Loathing Desert scene covering my beer. Can't wait for next year.

[@MetzAndy]

Great video - really captures a lot of what makes it fun. Good job including the one and only muddy spot on the course!

I went in 2022 so my son could run poker run. My new Beta 390rrs was stuck somewhere between here and Italy. Its was dusty but it was a blast!

[@DaWafflenator27]

Awesome video man.

[@westbird5]

Thanks for the engaging video! I too love to record POV riding vids other people's enjoyment...lots of work to produce them. Well done. WestBird5

Very cool. I was in two of those.

[@ericjacobsen5095]

ride!

[@bridgetcarr6400]

That’s my husband

[@johnelliott3896]

Did you end up doing the 100 also?

[@SamChou]

No, racing isn't my cup of tea, pretty much a recipe for getting myself hurt. Just the Ironman for me!

[@johnelliott3896]

@@SamChou I was there last weekend and I'm thinking about doing the Ironman next year. I have a 93 DR 350 with the Thumper racing 441 kit in it. Mainly do single track and mountain riding but I think it'll be fun to do just the Ironman. You've inspired me 💪💪💪

[@SamChou]

Heck yeah! Try something new! I'm more about going flat out than tight and technical terrain, but the DR can do it all. Especially with a big bore kit, I'm sure it'd be a blast.
