SPOT CHECK GLAMIS One rider who has really made the dunes his home is FMX legend and freeride pioneer Ronnie Renner. Renner continues to film awesome video parts at Glamis, like his section in Moto5. Renner looks so comfortable on the big dune jumps. His smooth line choices, huge Whips and relaxed style demonstrate how his experience in the sand has paid off. “Riding the desert is where my heart’s at,” Ronnie said in Moto5. “Coming out here is the ultimate freedom. You can let your mind and imagination get the best of you and just have a blast with it.” Only a few months ago Dirt Shark filmed yet another game-changing edit at Imperial Valley. Featuring everyone from moto legends like Jeremy McGrath to young rippers like Tyler Bereman and even B.J. Baldwin going huge in his crazy truck! With a cool rock soundtrack by Stoned Jesus it was a good homage to the old school video parts that started it all some 20 years ago. We hope you enjoy some of these behind-the-scenes photos from the session at the world’s no.1 dune riding destination: Glamis. The dunes are open for business – you just have to get a licence at the gate. Check out the Bureau of Land Management website for more info.
