#DAKAR

The Dakar Rally is the toughest motorsport race in the world and through this documentary I want to take you through my history and the reason for which I stopped racing and just now on my road to compete again. Life is done of ups and downs but this is what shapes us, no embarrassment about my origins and how dreaming helped me go from being totally broke all the way to become an entrepreneur and tackling now the Dakar Rally again in the Malles Moto class.

I had no clue Manuel had done all of this. Awesome!

[@angeleyes4039]

Such a great story. So much respect for anybody who has the balls to follow their dream. I'm proud to have a few Rebel parts on my T7.

"Shoestring" the legend, the one and only! Fantastic Many! good to hear you're going back to Dakar.

Wow what a wonderful story…!!!

[@CWjustindawes]

I meet Manny many years ago when he bummed a ride from me to get from AltRider's Taste of Dakar back to San Diego. He immediately impressed me on how he was making his Dakar dreams happen on little to no budget. We've been friends ever since, and it's amazing the success he's had with RebelX Sports. I'm always pulling for him and can't wait to see him back at Dakar.

Great video Manuel 👏🏻👏🏻🏆🏆

[@ride4adventure]

I was introduced to your videos around 2021 and have become a big fan of your builds, attention to detail and more importantly, your humility and sense of humour. To watch your back story has been very enlightening and entertaining. I'm looking forward to the next part. Bravo 👏💪

[@NK-dl2nc]

Brilliant. I've watched your videos for a few years now and have to say that you deserve any success you achieve. Fighting through injury is no joke having experienced it myself. You are blessed to have such a supportive girlfriend who has no doubt been a major factor in your achievements. Excellent work on the world raid GYTR as well. I am a very happy owner of my 2022 WR. I hope you get back to Dakar and achieve your goals. You've earnt it👍

You’re a legend Manuel! I’ve always loved your builds, your content and your presenting - your grasp of English is better than some English people I know! But I never knew much about your history, so this documentary is very interesting and inspiring! Ciao for now

Hey Manuel! Got a electrical question for you: Do you think the wiring for the 2,3 amp ventilator on my RedMoto CRF300RX 2020 can handle 0,7 amp (8,4W) more of a 3 amp replacement ventilator (same Spal model but slightly more powerful)?
