Finish Top 10 at Dakar as a Privateer and get NOTHING!?!

Skyler Howes is an America Rally Racer for the Husqvarna Factory Racing team. He achieved a career best 3rd at this years Dakar Rally and is only just getting started in the sport. I met Tyler at the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge this year and was stoked that we were able to lock in a podcast here in Dubai before he heads back to the US ahead of the next round of the World Rally Championship in Mexico. We talk about The Dakar, Rally as a racing format, Skyler's route to his factory ride and much more in this awesome episode of the podcast!

Mad props! Skyler deserves the recognition and spot light. He has gave everything he can to be where he is at today. The Cinderella story of hard work and never give up mentality will always pay off if you give it your all.

[@lukefish7562]

Heck yeah! Agreed 💪🏽🏍️💨

[@simplejackenduro]

Been a fan of Skyler’s since he was ripping it in the NHHA series in the 250A class. Awesome to see it work out for a true working man.

[@MrRidersRule]

I love this guy. I'm not even lying, I'm about to pick up a husky, and I would be lying if I said he didn't have a part in that. I love the dudes story, and it's so relatable for myself and so many others. It's for the love of the sport and for the want and motivation in your heart.

[@lukefish7562]

Which one you getting? I’ve adding a Husky (901 expedition) to the garage. He’s got a great story there is no doubt.

[@MrRidersRule]

@@lukefish7562 picking up a FC250 here. Was going for the 350, but decided it was more fun to ring a 250 out

[@lukefish7562]

@@MrRidersRule heck yeah! I like how you think! Someone once said “it’s more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow”. Doesn’t exactly fit since you are NOT getting a slow bike but I’ve found that to be true when it comes to just giving the smaller bikes all they got and having a ball! Enjoy! 🏍️💨

You sure do lie alot 😂

Life experience advice I run with. It was so strengthening to hear you guys talk about it.

[@tankeater]

Thats crazy nobody in the Best In The Desert, or SCORE wouldn't sponsor him?!?!?!

[@rallyerudi1678]

Top live advice! I can relate to this 😊

[@peterwilliams6633]

What an awsum bloke!

[@robdotson4322]

Inspiring, appreciative and focused 💪🇺🇸🏁

[@mdt7448]

I love this Dakar style content. Need to get the Aussie Dakar legend Rodney Faggotter. He would have mad Dakar and life yarns.

[@ianmangham4570]

Lmao 😂, the yanks would be having a laugh riot over the Fag 🤟🤠💯

[@right_on_riggins]

I moved from Ithaca NY to .. ……, UT to live to my full potential, I’d love to link up with you Skyler to go for a braaaap. Been hoping you might hold a riders/ race clinic in your home town?!

[@right_on_riggins]

❤🏜️

[@JoseGarcia-og1dc]

Skylar get Husky to race Baja and get yourself the 1X

[@german13985]

Try Kove motorcycle team bro maybe is ur future.

[@istra70]

That's just what I was thinking. Need to leave big names and go with underdog ..... many are cheering for them.

[@johnny_eason_iii]

👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@NWCRYPTOADVISOR]

Sounds about right for every off raid race I’ve placed well in.
