Build for Off Road Adventure Ride Updates
Behind the Scenes in Big Bear with Pierre
This weekend’s Part 2 premiere of the Build for Off Road Adventure Ride promises to be nothing short of epic, as Ian Johnson and the crew tackle the daunting King of the Hammers trails, including the infamous Backdoor obstacle. But before we shift gears and head into the legendary, unforgiving terrain of Johnson Valley this weekend, we wanted to take you even deeper into the Adventure Ride experience with a true “boots on the ground” perspective from one of our crew members.
Click through the Travel Journal below to check out these behind-the-scenes moments, candid snapshots, and trail-side clips from Part 1 of the Adventure Ride in Big Bear:
Hammer Time
As beautiful as the Big Bear mountains were, the terrain is about to get a lot more intense. In Part 2, the Adventure Ride officially descends into the off-roading mecca of Johnson Valley. From the iconic King of the Hammers trails to technical climbs that pushed our drivers’ gear to the absolute breaking point, you won’t want to miss a second of the action.
The Build for Off Road Adventure Ride Part 2 premieres this Saturday, January 17, on Discovery Turbo and Discovery+!
