THIS IS A RACE EVENT!
THAT IS WHY YOU ARE HERE!

There are LIVE races happening right here at KOH in Johnson Valley.
WAKE UP EARLY and GO WATCH THEM!

If you only come to KOH for the late night partying on the trails, you are here for the WRONG reasons and YOU will be the reason why this gets shutdown.
You are NOT part of the offroad community and you are NOT a true offroad enthusiast!

Chocolate Thunder, Backdoor, Turkey Claw are all most-known rock crawling trails that are some of the closest to the dry lakebed and are easier rock crawling trails that are easily accessible for the common spectator to drive up to. This allows anyone to reach them and makes these trails crowded with people who are there to “party” and cause chaos.

SPEAK UP!
PICK UP TRASH AND HOLD PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE FOR ANY ACTS OF STUPIDITY!
HELP OUT OR GET CALLED OUT!

Johnson valley has some fun riding. I prefer the sand like Glamis or Dumont. I never go to those places when it’s crowded. To go to KOH and snivel about belligerent ans idiotic behavior while knowingly it’s going to take place is 💯 on you. Yeah…, it’s wrong, but it is what it’s. Huge crowds and intoxicants equals stupidity at the highest level. Just avoid the 💩 show like smart people do.

I personally have never been to this event, but it looks like a great time! But it seems to me it’s like any other motor enthusiast event, Everybody goes there to party and have a good time. The people that put on the event that make “all the money” from it that everybody brings there is responsible to clean up the mess, plain and simple. If it was a boring event where nobody could have any fun it wouldn’t no longer be an event… I’ve watched a lot of the reels from King of the hammers and it appears to me that nighttime is the rowdy time, so if you’re there with your family and you don’t want your kids and family involved with that stuff steer clear of the nighttime events! But personally myself just by watching the videos I’d really like to attend this event, just to experience it once for myself because it looks like a really good time! But I guess no matter where you go you’re gonna have a bunch of wining crybabies…

They will figure it out when they end up closing access to riding areas.

For over a decade KOH has been a crazy party in the desert. This statement seems crazy from the videos and stories I’ve heard from KOH. Don’t get me wrong, they are trails for using but isn’t the craziness why so many head out there?

All off roading sites are full of trash, alcohol containers, and the destruction of vegetation and wildlife. It's a crime.
