Graham Jarvis Wins Grueling King Of The Motos

Many ATV racing fans have heard of the off-road King of the Hammers
race, but the event organizers decided to expand this year with the
first-ever "King of the Motos." This grueling inaugural competition
through the desert in Lucerne Valley, California, pushed some of
the top off-road motorcycle riders to partake in over three hours
of racing.
The race was designed to mix high-speed desert racing with some
highly technical sections, including riding up sand dunes,
hillsides and over jagged rocks. In fact, one particular part of
the race took an average of 40 minutes to finish, even though it
was just an eighth of a mile long. Organizers said they planned for
the race to be extremely punishing, and they got their wish, with
some major off-road stars taking DNFs after suffering mechanical
damage to their bikes.
In fact, famous names like Kurt Caselli, Cody Webb, Cory Graffunder
and Nick Burson all had to retire early from the event, thinning
the field significantly. In the end, it came down to Husaberg
two-stroke riders Graham Jarvis and Kyle Redmond. Jarvis was able
to beat Redmond to the finish line by 15 minutes. Monster Energy
Kawasaki Destry Abbott came in third, later saying it was the most
difficult race he's ever ridden.
